With the unimaginable flooding that has occurred in the Hill Country of Texas and in New Mexico just outside of Albuquerque, many of us are devastated by the news and are left wondering how we can help. The RV community is especially hit hard after the disasters with many RV communities and RV parks destroyed or badly damaged during the storm. We, at RVbyLIFE®, offer our condolences to the families affected by the tragedy and our unending support to Texans as they rebuild in the aftermath of the flood. As volunteers and first responders assist the affected areas, consider making a donation of any kind to assist in the rebuilding efforts. Here is a list of organizations to contribute to if you are wondering how to help flood victims.

RVbyLIFE® and sister brand BoatLIFE® were founded on the premise of bringing honesty and integrity to its consumers through its production of high-quality RV and boat repair and maintenance accessories. Our fine line of adhesives, sealants, epoxies, cleaners, and waxes have been staples in both the RV and marine industries. The company was founded over 66 years ago. During that period of time, we’ve weathered a storm or two. In fact, our founder, Mr. Edwin Kehrt served in the US Army Corps of Engineers in the South Pacific during WWII. With a history of manufacturing excellence coupled with a mission of innovation and mutual respect, we are poised at a monumental moment to aid in the relief efforts and bring normalcy back to our fellow citizens lives. Please help join us in the recovery efforts for those affected by these unprecedented floods.
