Four hours away in Dallas after evacuating ahead of Hurricane Harvey, Dash forward Janine Beckie said she felt helpless when the storm hit Houston.
Beckie saw pictures of the damage and felt anxiety for her teammates still in town. She wanted to help but did not want to wait until she got back.
Beckie set up a Gofundme account to raise money for Hurricane Harvey relief. Her initial goal was $10,000. It did not take long for her to raise that to $12,000.
As of noon Wednesday, it had received 142 donations totaling $11,571.
