KERRVILLE, Texas (KXAN) The Wall of Hope, a memorial for those killed and still missing in the aftermath of the Kerr County floods, continues to grow.
At least 105 people, including 36 children, have died in the county.
Ever since the Wall of Hope went up on Wednesday, community members have added more to it everything from stuffed animals to personal notes.

The Miami-based artist behind the installation is no longer in town, but some local folks are tasked with upkeeping it. Anyone who wishes to donate can bring things like artificial flowers, zip ties, ribbons, solar-powered lanterns and electric candles to the wall and hand them to the people manning the table next to the wall.
The wall is located near Grape Juice, a restaurant that has converted itself into a makeshift donation and supply headquarters.
