AUSTIN, Texas In the wake of a historic winter storm that brought widespread power outages, a lack of running water, and boil water notices, countless Texans have stepped up to help their community members in need.
Among them were the founders of an Austin-based bottled rainwater company called Heart Water, who realized they were in a unique position to help their community during the crisis.
Michael and Ylianna Dadashi spent the night on February 15 like so many other Texans – without power and running water in subfreezing temperatures.
Their biggest concern was their 1-year-old baby.
“It was so scary for us as first time parents because… he was freezing, we were all freezing, said Ylianna Dadashi. The baby s hands were just so cold and I was trying to cover him as much as possible and just hold him all night.”
