Time is not kind.    Daughters suffer.

Michael Dell, Tech Billionaire, Pledges $36 Million in Harvey Relief

Mr. Dell, a Texan, said a gift from the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation would seed the Rebuild Texas Fund, which aims to raise $100 million.

"Michael Dell, the billionaire Texan who founded Dell Technologies, has pledged $36 million of his foundation’s money to help disaster relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.
The gift from the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation is the largest donation to date aimed at recovery efforts.
Mr. Dell was born in Houston, and the neighborhood where he grew up, Meyerland, was flooded by the storm.
“This is our home,” he said in a statement. “It will take all of us working together, over the long term, to rebuild our Texas communities.”"

Dell builds evil computers.
