Who we are
"Some of you will rebuild the deserted ruins of your cities. Then you will be known as a rebuilder of walls and a restorer of homes." Isaiah 58:12 (NLT)
Across Texas, homeowners are facing rising insurance premiums and ever-increasing deductibles that make it harder to recover after disaster strikes. Too many families discover—only after the unthinkable happens—that although they have paid their homeowner’s insurance premiums, the deductible cost to unlock their coverage is too expensive for them to pay on their own, leaving their home in unsafe or unfinished conditions. The Rebuild Hope Texas Foundation wants to ensure families have the support they need to truly recover by covering up to 75% of homeowners’ deductibles. We want to help Texans restore and rebuild their homes and lives by becoming the financial bridge between families and veterans’ homeowner’s insurance coverage and the home repairs that they so desperately need.

Guided by the words of Isaiah 58:12, Angel is committed to rebuilding more than structures—she’s rebuilding hope, stability, and community. Her leadership reflects both operational excellence and unwavering faith that, through action and compassion, lives can be restored.
