The historic winter storm that swept across the state in mid-February left millions of Texans struggling, including students at Texas A&M and the University of Texas.
Though basic repairs and some physical needs have been met, many students at both universities are still facing unforeseen struggles, ranging from extensive home repairs to replacing lost groceries. In order to help combat this hardship, student government leaders from A&M and UT have come together through the joint fundraising campaign âMaroon and Orange: Texas Tough,â which will run through March 10. Donations can be made to A&M through Spirit of Giving and to UT through HornRaiser. With just days remaining on the campaign, the universities have raised a collective $169,831, according to the donation websites.
