Families are literally burning their kids' toys to stay warm. Others are turning on gas stoves to heat their home and with that comes the fear of carbon-monoxide poisoning. Temperatures are dipping below zero. We know Virginia families have had a tough time with power outages, too, but if you are in a good place, Texas needs your help. They are in an unprecedented deep freeze, so how can you help?
With millions without power or resources. Here are some things you can do to be there for your Texas neighbors.
