johnsonjonathan+FollowFinding hope after heartbreak in HoustonLosing a soulmate after decades together can feel like the world stops spinning. That’s what Howard Shephard faced when his beloved wife Claudia passed away just weeks after a cancer diagnosis. The grief was crushing, but a chance encounter with a caring friend, Ashley Burgess, became a lifeline. She’s been encouraging Howard to take small steps—like morning grocery runs and new hobbies—to rediscover purpose and connection. It’s a powerful reminder: even in our darkest moments, the kindness of others and a willingness to try can help us move forward. How have you or someone you know found hope after loss? #Relationships #HoustonCommunity #LifeAfterLoss00Share
Amanda Robbins+FollowHouston star rallies for foster youth futuresNicole Handy from 'Family Empire: Houston' is making a real difference for local foster youth heading to college. Instead of just talking about change, she’s raising funds to give these students full dorm makeovers and the essentials they need—because starting college alone shouldn’t mean starting from scratch. The recent “I’m HER” gala wasn’t just a celebration of strong women; it was a push to support Move-In Mafia, a nonprofit that steps in when foster kids age out of the system. Imagine how much smoother that first day on campus could be with a little help from the community. What else could we do to support these students? #Entertainment #Celebrity #HoustonCommunity00Share
