Overview

• The Found on the Guadalupe River Facebook group has grown to over 14,000 volunteers who have cataloged and returned dozens of personal items swept away in the floods.
• The Lost Stuffy Project shipped a replica of the brown Jellycat Fuddlewuddle monkey to Stacy Stevens in hopes of bringing comfort as the search for the original continues.
• Grassroots organizers have set up preservation protocols and storage sites along the river to document, protect and eventually reunite flood-borne belongings with their owners.
• The July 4 flash floods at Camp Mystic claimed 27 lives and contributed to central Texas’s worst flooding in over a century, resulting in at least 120 deaths and 173 people still missing.
• For grieving families like the Stevenses, recovered mementos serve as tangible links to lost loved ones and exemplify the community’s solidarity in the disaster’s aftermath.
