Michelle McGuire, a sports coach from the Texas Hill Country, has found a new purpose in life after surviving the deadly July 4 floods that devastated her community. McGuire’s home was severely damaged, and she lost everything in the flood. However, she has chosen to focus on the positive and is now helping other survivors.
A Story of Hope
McGuire’s story is one of hope and resilience. She recalled the night of the flood, saying, ‘I jump off the bed, and then I’m in chest-deep water.’ She swam to a 12-foot retaining wall and watched as debris, including her truck, floated past. McGuire prayed and focused on surviving until daylight, when the water finally dropped.
With the help of a case manager, McGuire moved into a new home overlooking Hunt. In February, she purchased her first home, which was something she never expected. McGuire now says the disaster has reshaped her priorities and her purpose, inspiring a new career path focused on helping other survivors because she can relate.
