The loss of electricity during Beryl led to the destruction of hundreds of dollars worth of groceries in their Southeast Houston home and it was difficult for them to feed their four grandchildren on a fixed income.

FOX 26 Houston is now on the FOX LOCAL app available through Apple TV, Amazon FireTV, Roku, Google Android TV, and Vizio!

With their power now restored, they are feeling hopeful.

Vasquez is taking cybersecurity courses, and Gonzalez is selling her handmade jewelry.
