Note: Please share this post with other homeschoolers who’ve been affected by the hurricane.
I would ask too that if you were not affected by the hurricane to not download the curriculum. This curriculum was provided to homeschoolers at a financial cost to the companies below. Please respect the way the curriculum is to be used, i.e. for families affected by the hurricane.
Born and raised in Houston, Texas, my heart goes out to all those affected by Hurricane Harvey. I know what it’s like to leave your home, homeschool in a hotel, on the road and not know if you have a home to come back to.
To help ease your stress, I have contacted homeschool companies and requested free digital curriculum for those affected by the hurricane.
In addition, to help connect homeschoolers, I have listed resources at the bottom of this post for those that want to contribute to Texas homeschoolers and for Texas homeschoolers that need help.
If you’re a homeschool company, please email me at **curr.donations At yahoo dot com** so I can add your resource to this list which I will update regularly. If you’re a Texas homeschool group that needs help or wants to help, let me know too.
**Updated** I am still getting requests from vendors to be added and will add them as they email me.
Also, as we have just endured one of the worst hurricanes in Texas history, Florida got pounded with Irma. Texas hearts and hugs goes out to Florida homeschoolers.
Please spread the word and share these resources with Florida homeschoolers too.
Too, I want to say THANK YOU to all the homeschool companies below that so quickly and graciously pitched in to make this available to you.
Important, please read: Although the Bible may be used for some of the work, I have ask for the curriculum to be doctrinal free and to be secular friendly. You can use your own discretion for what fits your family.
Too, the curriculum below is cost free to you for a short time, approximately for 45 days. They are not every day freebies. However, they are free to you right now because each of these companies have graciously and generously donated them to help you recover and get back on your homeschooling feet.
It is completely appropriate to let the companies know how much you appreciate their donations.
Also, I want to give special recognition to the Build Your Bundle team and sponsors for helping me to get the word out and sharing their Texas Relief Bundle.

Support THE statewide group with both curriculum and monetary donations.
Statewide Service Group ►Texas Home Educators and phone number 817.400.2692
Also, Texas Home Educators (THE), has set up their rainy day fund. THE is a 501c3 and all donations are tax deductible.
From this we will be distributing donations to the homeschoolers in the affected areas.
Because we are a statewide homeschool service organization, we will be verifying the folks who are being assisted by our donations. We have school supplies coming at the end of the September, and will be distributed from Port Arthur to Rockport.
We have made arrangements with many curriculum providers to provide for the affected homeschoolers.
Be sure to join the (THE) Homeschoolers Helping Homeschoolers Facebook Group if you need help or want to give help.
From the site: We know that where the government will be helping the public schools get back to a regular routine, there is no one to help the homeschool mom resupply her school room except other homeschoolers from all across the country. We are putting people together so that individual homeschoolers from across the nation can connect with the affected families and help directly. This is done with the Facebook group THE Homeschoolers Helping Homeschoolers.
►If you are making a monetary donation, let THE know and you will receive the proper paperwork for a tax deduction.

I know, right?
I had started it already and would be so happy for them to use it as well! 😉
