ROYALS REPORT LENDING TEXAS A HAND

-

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are lending Texas a helping hand through their nonprofit, the Archewell Foundation. In a statement on Sunday to USA TODAY, Jan Langbein, CEO of Genesis Women’s Shelter & Support in Dallas, which serves women and children who have experience­d domestic violence, confirmed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex “will make a donation to help us get back on our feet.” She adds: “Not only will this gift provide for our critical needs, it shines an internatio­nal spotlight on violence against women and children, letting survivors know that they are not alone.” The group’s emergency shelter and transition­al housing were forced to shut down last week because of burst pipes and power loss from the Texas winter storms.
