			 			<p>A Nova Scotia veteran and his wife want to help Hurricane Harvey victims on their road to recovery and&nbsp;plan to pack up the family RV and hit the highway on a 4000-kilometre trek to flood-ravaged Houston.</p> 
<p>Robert&nbsp;Dobson, 39, came upon the idea after someone from Texas posted&nbsp;on an Eastern Shore&nbsp;Facebook group trying to track down&nbsp;a contact. Dobson&nbsp;decided he could do one better.</p> 
<p>"My wife and I just brainstormed and we're like, 'Well, we have an RV, so let's load up the RV and go down,'" he told CBC's <em>Information Morning</em>.</p> 
<p>Dobson&nbsp;said he plans to fill his RV with supplies&nbsp;purchased with money fundraised out of his home in Musquodoboit Harbour.</p> 
<h2>'The list is going to change'</h2> 
<p>Working in tandem with an organization called Combined Arms, which co-ordinates volunteer opportunities for veterans helping out with recovery efforts in Houston, he'll adjust the contents of the RV to meet the needs on the ground.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>"The list is going to change over the weeks as donations come in, so for right now they're after drywall tools and kids&nbsp;clothing," said Dobson, who served four years with the Canadian Forces, including in Kosovo.</p> 
<p>Dobson said they also plan to bring cleaning supplies, although those will have to be purchased on the American side of the border.&nbsp;</p> 
<h2>'Definitely help out'</h2> 
<p>Dobson originally planned the trip with another veteran, but after health issues forced that veteran to drop out, Dobson and his wife decided they'd go down as a family instead.</p> 
<p>For his daughters, who are four and 10, Dobson said he hopes it will&nbsp;be an opportunity to learn about the importance of pitching in.</p> 
<p>"I want them to learn that, you know, if you can dream it, you can do it — and definitely help out people in need."</p> 
<div class="figure">

 <p class="figure-caption">Robert Dobson plans to fill an RV with supplies and drive it to Texas to help with cleanup. (Robert Dobson)</p>
</div> 
<p>Dobson said they hope to leave by Oct.&nbsp;15 at the latest. Once they reach Houston, which will take roughly three days of driving, he plans to spend a week volunteering.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>If they haven't raised enough to cover their own costs plus expenses by then, he said they'll just send what they've collected instead.</p>

</ul> 
<p>And while they'll also have to adjust their plans if Hurricane Irma hits the southern U.S., Dobson said he's hopeful about what they can do to help out.</p> 
<p>"I'm very happy about how things have progressed," he said. "Two days ago we got our first physical donation … it was brooms, masks, some cloths, some cleaning supplies.</p> 
<p>"And then there was this bottle that I didn't realize until after the gentleman had left, but it was filled with American coins for cleaning supplies, so I was just like 'Wow."'</p>		</div>
