The 'Outdaughtered' Family Gave Out $75,000 Worth of Toys to Hurricane Harvey Victims
The Busby Family, who star in the TLC reality show Outdaughtered, are paying back their good fortune of getting through Hurricane Harvey by partnering with an organization to help those who were not as lucky. Danielle Busby shared on Instagram that she and her husband Adam joined forces with educational toy company Learning Resources to provide Harvey victims with $75,000 worth of toys.
"Adam and I partnered with @learningresources a few months ago to help show parents how easy and simple it can be to teach your kids through play," she wrote. "Then...Hurricane Harvey hit and there were so many families that lost everything, including toys."
The Busbys said the educational tools would be especially helpful for children who were unable to attend school due to the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, an ABC affiliate in Houston reports.
The family played with the children and handed out toys for them to take home at Lighthouse Christian Ministries in Bacliff, Texas.
Danielle, Adam and their six children, including a set of quintuplets, live in League City, Texas, a town close to Houston, which saw $180,000 worth of damages as a result of the storm.
"The town flooded pretty bad," Danielle told CountryLiving.com in September. "Lots of homes and businesses took on water. Gas stations are running [out] or already are out of gas. Grocery stores [are] open limited hours due to low supplies. Lots of shelters have opened up."
Hurricane Harvey fortunately did not flood the Busbys' home, so Danielle said she wanted to take that as an opportunity to have her daughters give back to others in the community who were less fortunate, including her mother MiMi. The Busby's grandmother lost everything in the storm after her home was flooded with almost 2 feet of water.
"Once we were able to get out of the house, I wanted Blayke to understand how fortunate we were to not have had any damage during Harvey," Danielle said. "I took her to volunteer in MiMi's neighborhood to see the devastation and understand what the hurricane did to our community. We pray every night for the city and all those who have lost so much."
