Meghan Markle and Prince Harry sent their support to a Texas women's shelter that suffered damage during the devastating recent winter storm.
On Sunday, the Genesis Women's Shelter & Support in Dallas revealed on Twitter that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex provided aid through their charitable foundation Archewell.
"Today the news of our damages reached Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex!" the shelter wrote on Twitter. "Through their nonprofit, they are supporting us by replacing the roof at our transitional housing facility & helping us meet our immediate needs. THANK YOU, ARCHEWELL FOUNDATION!"
"Today, we were notified that through the actions of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's nonprofit, Archewell Foundation, Prince Harry and Meghan will make a donation to help us get back on our feet," said Jan Langbein, CEO of Genesis Women's Shelter & Support in a statement obtained by Fox News.
