Today, the AWESOME is in Texas. After devastating floods swept through central Texas, Grandmother Dondi Persyn stepped up in an extraordinary way — not with heavy equipment or official titles, but with heart, determination, and a Facebook group. Dondi lives just a few miles from the Guadalupe River. While her home wasn’t affected by the flooding, her community was. And she knew she had to do something. It started with a simple act: picking up items scattered along the riverbank while waiting for search crews. What began as one good deed quickly transformed into a full-scale recovery effort to reunite people with the pieces of their lives lost in the floodwaters. She launched a Facebook group called “FOUND on the Guadalupe River,” which quickly grew to more than 20,000 members. Through it, Dondi and others began sharing photos of found items — everything from children’s shoes and lifejackets to cherished jewelry and even a totem pole with its feathers still intact. Always finding ways to be kind and generous, THAT’S AWESOME.
