The grants were unanimously approved by the Mayor s Disaster Relief Fund advisory committee.
The committee is chaired by former U.S. Ambassador and current Hunt Consolidated Senior Vice President Jeanne Phillips.
The other members of the committee are the Dallas Foundation President and CEO Matthew Randazzo, UT Southwestern Vice President for Community and Corporate Relations Ruben Esquivel, the Beck Group s Executive Chairman Peter Beck, Dallas City Manager T.C. Broadnax, and Mayor Eric Johnson s Chief of Staff Mary Elbanna.
“Last week’s brutal winter storms and catastrophic power outages tested our city’s resolve and our resilience, but our generous donors and the work of our grant recipients show the interminable strength of our communities,” Mayor Johnson said. “The people of Dallas are our city’s greatest asset, and I am thrilled that we will be able to help them recover and rebuild.”
Juanita Smith (Mrs. C.A. Smith) has graduated to Heaven at age 94.
Her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, came to her bed and she reached out to take his hand on Dec. 15, 2020. He surely said, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant” and took her home to Heaven. Juanita started serving her Lord Jesus when she was just a teenager and taught her own Sunday school class. Her adult teacher recognized that she had a wonderful gift for teaching others. Every Sunday her teacher let her teach the lesson because she knew that Juanita had always studied and prepared. Juanita had been born into a family where both parents only had a third-grade education. However, she wanted to go to college. Her church pastor helped pay her way and she became the first in a long list of college graduates in her family.
