Thank you, members of the Texas Retired Teachers Association (TRTA), for celebrating Foundation Month with us! This special time honors the charitable work of our partner organization, the Texas Retired Teachers Foundation (TRTF).<\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re highlighting two of TRTF\u2019s most vital programs: \u201cA Helping Hand\u201d and Disaster Relief, <\/strong>both designed to support public education retirees facing unexpected challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Helping Hand\u201d<\/h4>\n

Launched in 2010, \u201cA Helping Hand\u201d provides retired public-school employees with one-time assistance for a special need or short-term hardship. Eligible applicants include anyone receiving an annuity from the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS). Membership in TRTA is not required to apply.<\/p>\n

Since its inception, \u201cA Helping Hand\u201d has awarded more than $315,000 in aid. This year alone, grants have helped cover medical and dental bills, energy bills, tree removal, car repairs, and home repairs.<\/p>\n

Disaster Relief<\/h4>\n

TRTF\u2019s Disaster Relief program provides emergency assistance to public education retirees affected by disasters. Like \u201cA Helping Hand,\u201d TRS eligibility is required, but TRTA membership is not.<\/p>\n

Since the fund was created in 2017, it has provided more than $475,000 to cover needs such as home repairs after flooding, roof repairs from hail damage, and property cleanup following wildfires.<\/p>\n

With your support, TRTF stands ready to respond immediately when disaster strikes<\/p>\n

Please Donate<\/h4>\n

TRTF\u2019s mission depends on caring donors like you. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, TRTF raises funds to support retirees, teachers, students, and schools through our charitable programs. Please consider making your tax-deductible charitable donation today at www.trtf.org\/donate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned to the Inside Line throughout November for updates and inspiring stories from TRTF program recipients. Together, we can continue making a difference in the lives of those who have given so much to education.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
