A man who now calls Cincinnati home is headed to Houston to help his hometown in its time of need.He's not the only local person who decided he couldn't just sit back and watch.Each day, more efforts are coming together.He and others from across Cincinnati have been seeing videos and photos all over that look like cries for help."When I saw that happening in my hometown, I knew that we needed to do something," Kash Shaikh said.There are countless photos and videos moving Shaikh to help the people of Texas."My friends and family and really a lot of people that I'm close to are in Houston," Shaikh said.Shaikh is filling his business' #besomebody van with supplies like diapers to drive to Houston.He's trying to gather water, food and other things.Shaikh, like other Cincinnatians, is using social media to help."Every other post is, you know, someone's house underwater or someone can't get out of their neighborhood or really heartbreaking things like saying, 'Hey guys, my uncle, he's 63, he's trapped in his house, can somebody come help him?'" Shaikh said.Jaw-dropping Facebook Live video comes from Cincinnatian Mike Bohlen, who drove 17 hours to Texas.It shows flooded roads, abandoned cars and buses, and water so high, he passes treetops on his jet ski.He was stopped by flooded roads Tuesday, so he launched jet skis in a town outside of Houston to help people in need."There's a lot of people trying to get into the city. A lot. People with boats. People with jet skis. There's a lot," Bohlen said.He's encountered many cars and even guardrails and fences.Bohlen has also been navigating relentless, rushing water."We ran into horses that were tied up to posts. You know, we ran into abandoned horses that had water up to their chests that weren't moving," he said.Shaikh and others plan to drive to that same region, to deliver supplies to shelters, to rescue and provide transportation for people in need, including the elderly and disabled, and to rescue dogs and cats."We want to just dive in and help as many people as possible," Shaikh said.Shaikh said they've developed an armada including trucks, SUVs, boats, a raft and ropes, life jackets and evacuation and rescue gear.He also said they are coordinating more donations minute-by-minute and had already collected donations from Pampers locally.Shaikh and his group will be collecting donations Wednesday at the Corryville Kroger.They will take donations from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.Shaikh said they are looking specifically for donations of toiletries including travel-size shampoo, conditioner and soap. He said they also need wheelchairs, bottled water, individually packaged and nonperishable food, and pillows.He said they do not need clothing donations at this time.The group plans to hit the road to Houston Wednesday evening.
