         WHEREAS, The members of Healthy Resources for Displaced

  distinguished themselves through their efforts to aid flood victims
  in Williamson County; and
         WHEREAS, The young Texans involved in HEARD demonstrated
  exceptional initiative by raising $2,000 for flood victims and by
  providing in-kind donations to Operation Liberty Hill and the
  American Red Cross; and
         WHEREAS, HEARD traces its origins to 2021, when its primary
  founder, Nikhil Parida, was inspired to establish an organization
  that serves children of refugee and immigrant families who are
  facing displacement; the nonprofit provides a range of resources
  that promote physical and mental well-being, including
  opportunities to engage in a variety of indoor and outdoor

  Outstanding Community Resource Awards from the Texas Council of
  Child Welfare Boards, one at the state level as well as another at
  the regional level; in addition, the nonprofit was honored with a
  special recognition from Round Rock Mayor Craig Morgan in 2023, and
  a number of its members were presented with Presidential Volunteer
  Service Awards in 2022; and
         WHEREAS, By dedicating time and resources to help those in
  need, the members of HEARD have set an inspiring example of
  community service, and they are indeed deserving of special
  recognition for their contributions; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
  Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby commend Healthy Resources
  for Displaced Children for its efforts to assist flood victims in
  Williamson County and extend to all those affiliated with the
  organization sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for HEARD as an expression of high regard by the Texas
  House of Representatives.
