Central Texas' Hill Country area has experienced a once-in-a-lifetime disaster that's caused an unfathomable amount of heartache and pain to everyone in the region. Although it's challenging to even think of a way that could realistically help those who have lost close family members, Texas QB Arch Manning has been doing everything he can to assist.

Manning has taken to social media in an attempt to raise funds for the innocent people of Hill Country in hopes of relieving the financial burden of rebuilding their homes and other properties.

"“Hey everyone, this is Arch Manning. The flooding in Central Texas has devastated communities and caused enormous loss. My heart goes out to everyone that’s been affected,” Manning said Tuesday on Instagram. “Please join me in donating to the four organizations below who are providing vital support as recovery efforts get underway. Thank you.”"

As of Tuesday evening, a total of 110 people have lost their lives in the flood, according to CBS News.

Local authorities and volunteers have been working to comb the banks of the Guadalupe River area, hoping to find more survivors following the Friday morning tragedy.

One of the most gut-wrenching facts about the event was that Camp Mystic, one of Texas' premier youth summer camps, was currently in session when the flooding hit. So far, it appears that at least 27 campers and counselors have perished. The roster of this year's camp was filled with 750 people, a local sheriff reported.
