	How Gateway people respond when disaster strikes</h4>

<p>
	Soon after Hurricane Harvey hit the Texas gulf<strong>&nbsp;</strong>coast, Garrett Marshall and some friends decided they’d had enough. Late one night, they’d been watching the news stories and videos on social media showing Harvey’s flood victims struggling to get to safety, and around midnight they came up with a plan. In the early hours of the next morning, Garrett, who attends the Gateway Grand Prairie Campus, kissed his wife and five kids goodbye, and he and his friends headed to Houston with a boat hitched to the back of their vehicle.</p>

<p>
	“We’re just a bunch of lake rats,” he says. “We know how to operate a boat, and we thought they could use our help.” That turned out to be an understatement. Upon arriving in the greater Houston area, they launched their boat into the floodwater in a residential area that didn’t seem to have very many boats helping out. The work was overwhelming.</p>

<p>
	“We were barely in the city when someone saw we had a boat and shouted they needed some help getting people out of their houses,” he says. “The water was so deep you couldn’t even see houses’ first floors. People were hanging out of second-story windows waving white flags and asking for help.” They immediately got to work cruising through the neighborhood calling for women and children who needed to move to higher ground as the rain poured relentlessly.</p>

<p>
	At one house, a woman handed Garrett a basket of blankets before she got into the boat. “I thought it was just some belongings and then I heard this little wail,” he says. “I pulled back the blanket and saw a three-month-old baby boy.” It was a significant moment for Garrett because back at home, his 11-month-old was tucked away safely in a warm bed—a simple comfort these flood victims won’t be able to enjoy for a while. That’s when the gravity of the situation hit him hard.</p>

<p>
	During the 48 hours he and his friends were pulling people to safety—most of which was done on little sleep— Garrett helped rescue elderly people, people in wheelchairs, small children, and people with medical needs. “I’d ask them if they had all their medication,” he says. “And if they forgot, I’d ask them where they keep it, go in the house, and grab everything I could to make sure they had it all.”</p>

<p>
	When they returned home two days later, exhausted and waterlogged, they already planned a follow-up trip to continue helping those affected by the storm. “We knew we had a boat and supplies and were able-bodied people who could help,” Garrett says. “We felt the call, and we just went.”</p>
