Young Houston Girl Finds a Sweet Way to Help Pets Impacted by the Texas Floods – RedState
A compassionate and constructive action is the subject of this week’s well-being Friday.
Kamryn Balryn, eleven, found a genius to help local shelters overwhelmed by animals taken in the catastrophic floods of July 4 in the country of the Texas hills. Balfour was a motorhome in Kickapoo Kamp along the Guadalupe river, just 20 Miles de camp Mystic, where 27 campers and advisers lost their lives. When writing these lines, the number of people tragically taken by the flood is at 135, with two people still not recorded.
Balfour was captured by the thought of how his life was spared. “I was really, really sad,” she said in an interview with Houston’s Khou 11. She thought: “It could have been me.” Balfour, a creative girl who already has a business spirit, wanted to do something to help those around her who suffered from the loss of friends, family and even pets.

Thus, Balfour has decided to cook and sell cookies and give the product to flooding efforts.
In the lively kitchen of Gina cakes, where the creations of icing and impeccable melting are the norm, something softer takes shape – and it is not only dessert.
“I told her that the kitchen is yours if you need it,” said owner Gina Gutierrez. “I didn’t know how many orders she was going to have.”
A corner of the commercial bakery now belongs to Kamryn Balfour, 11, a young motorhome with a big heart and an even larger goal. Inspired by the devastating floods of July 4 which ravaged certain parts of Texas Hill Country. Kamryn stayed in Kickapoo Kamp. It is about 20 miles from Camp Mystic, where 27 campers and advisers were killed.
“I was really, really sad and I thought it could have been me,” Kamryn told Khou 11.
Kamryn returned home with a mission.
Gina’s owner’s owners, Gina Gutierrez, are a friend of the Balfour family, and she donated part of the commercial kitchen of her busy and prosperous business to help the cause. Balfour cooked all the cookies from zero, turning off 17 lots of cookies in one day. Balfour placed the cookies in a decorative bag with pretty pink arches and sold each bag for $ 5 under the label, “Kamryn’s Kravings”. Balfour started with a modest objective of collecting $ 500, but his service act won incredible momentum and scope. From this well-being Friday writing, it has more than quadrupled this amount!
During the last week, she was measuring, mixing and cooked. What started as a small sale of pastries quickly turned into a full -fledged movement of Kamryn Kamryn. With the support of Gakes by Gina and the help of his mother, Kamryn cooked and sold more than 1,000 cookies in just over a week. At $ 5 per bag, its original goal was to collect $ 500. It has now exceeded $ 3,000 – and orders continue to drive.
Balfour plans to give 100% of these profits to the shelters and veterinarians of Hill Country who treat the dogs rescued for snake bites, the wounded legs of walking on debris and the exhaustion of heat. Until now, it plans to give $ 1,500 to Kerrville Pets Alive and $ 1,500 to the Vetmed team in Texas A&M.
Near and far in the region, we challenge and command five and 10 bags at the same time, “said Kamryn’s mother Kelly.
Customers like Albert Bohorquez say that the gesture made them cry.
“I thought it was the most precious thing in the world, young children helping young children,” said Bohorquez.
The Kamryn makeshift cookie factory has turned into a non -stop operation – more than 30 lots already cooked. She and her mother admit that they are still learning as you go, but they were overwhelmed by the outpouring support.
“We don’t know how to cook something else, but we get there,” said Kamryn.
I don’t think Balfour needs to know how to cook something else. These cookies embody the sweetness of the act and are worth more than their golden weight.
But Balfour does not plan to stop there. On Saturday, July 26, she will organize a Cookie pop-up sale between 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. at GAKES de GINA in Houston, Texas. These profits will go to the families of the country of the hills who find it difficult to rebuild after the wreckage. If you come to live in the region, it is a way worthy of showing your support and obtaining a sweet treat to start.
“Even a little help can turn into an explosion of aid,” said Kamryn.
Although the damage caused by the natural disaster in Texas do not feel good to feel good, because the inhabitants of the County Kerr continue to recover and assess the damage, these are beautiful acts of compassion and kindness like Kamryn Balfour who act as a balm with the injury of an unfathomable loss.
You can follow Kamrynskravings on Instagram for updates on pop-up sales and obtain information on how you can donate to the cause of helping residents of Kerr.
