Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Seguin permanently closing after flood damage
Closeout sale scheduled in August
Jakob Moreno KWED/SDN Intern
(Seguin) -- Habitat for Humanity’s Guadalupe Valley ReStore is permanently closing. The closure was announced this week after the operation located at 256 W. Court St sustained damage during the July 5th flooding.
While it wasn’t the decision most wanted to hear, Executive Director Madeline Zwicke says it took a lot of time to come together to figure out the best course of action – action that would support the workers at the store as well as the community of Seguin.
“Our home center has been there for 11 years. Many of the volunteers that worked so hard to open that store back in 2014 are still around,” said Zwicke. “Many of them work part-time, full-time, 40 hours a week. There’s been a ton of friendships and connections forged in that building, and we’ve been so thankful to be able to lease that building for the last 11 years.”
She said on that day that they needed to move, she called four
locations seeking temporary space. She says lucky for them, Pastor Marcus Bigott of Emmanuel’s Lutheran Church responded immediately with an office space just one block away. She says this space was crucial for the group to gather and reevaluate their options on how to proceed.
Zwicke understood that even though Habitat for Humanity lost many resources, they still counted their blessings of being able to help the community in any way possible and is still committed to its goal of six houses being built by the end of 2025.
“We will continue to build homes here in Seguin. That part is not going away,” said Zwicke. “I think that is the biggest message that I want people to take from this is that although our storefronts are closing, we very much are here. We’re accepting applications year-round, and we’re going to continue to build homes, affordable homes for families in need in Guadalupe County.”

Seguin ties run deep for family at heart of historic drunk driving verdict
(Seguin) -- For Blas Mendez Jr. and his wife Letty, the devastating 2021 crash that changed their lives didn’t just steal Blas’s independence and health -- it took their careers, and the life they knew here in the Seguin community.
As reported earlier by the Seguin Daily News, the couple was recently awarded a $831 million civil verdict – the largest ever awarded by a San Antonio courtroom.
But while the settlement recognized the pain and damage caused by the alcohol involved crash, the San Marcos family says it continues to grieve the many layers of loss that followed.
The former Seguin ISD behavior specialist was left permanently disabled, requiring full-time care and ending his 21-year career supporting students with special needs. But Blas wasn’t the only one forced to say goodbye to the life they knew.
Letty Mendez, who worked for years at Guadalupe Regional Medical Center, was also forced to walk away from her own career so she can care for her husband full-time.
“It was every day we drove there. All my kids were born in Seguin, at the hospital. So, I mean, that was my home away from home, and then Blas just loved Seguin ISD. I mean, he had opportunities to go other places. He's originally from San Marcos. I'm not from here. I'm from the Rio Grande Valley. But he's a San Marcos native. He started in Seguin. Miss (Glenda) Moreno gave him a chance at Breezy (AJB). He was there as a substitute, and I guess somebody went on leave, and so they offered him a full time substitute position. And then after that, they hired him. And so, he coached for them. He never thought of leaving. The only time that he thought he might have left was when my son was going to play high school football at Hays. He was with Special Ed department at that point,” said Letty.
She says the choice wasn’t easy, especially after having found a work family at GRMC and having spent so many
years serving the people of Seguin.
“We couldn't have gotten through all of this without them. You know? My job kept me on when I probably should have been fired or let go to meet the demands. I was the director of the outpatient rehab. And like I said, my hospital did everything they could to let me be with him, initially. When the accident first happened, letting me work when I could -- those kinds of things. And then just being there to support us anytime something happened because he's had to be hospitalized over and over again for different things since the accident. He was gone for nine months. So, nine months was the original time that he was in the hospital after the accident. But since then, he's needed some surgeries and then, getting sick with pneumonia and things like that. So, he's hospitalized back and forth. They worked with me as much as they could. And then finally, that was the decision I kind of made was to leave just because I couldn't give them what they deserved -Verdict, pg. 3

the setbacks that were brought in.
“We are committed to Seguin. We will continue to have an office here and we will continue to serve families in our community,” said Zwicke.
Currently, the group is working on finding a permanent office space for its
-my time and things like that. And that was another reason that I felt like I had to step down for the betterment of just the department and everything. They just needed somebody that could be there 100 percent,” said Letty.
As this chapter comes to a close, she says it’s important for people to understand the full weight of what was lost.
“Cherish your family because you never know when it's going to change. Cherish what you have and realize what's important. The physical things, all that isn't important when you don't have your family by your side anymore. Whether it's your work family, whether it's your regular family, you've got to cherish what you have because you never know when it's going to get taken away from you in an instant, you know? I mean, everything was great to go. We were supposed to go to work that Monday. The accident happened Saturday. Your life gets turned around in an instant, and nobody's ever ready for that. Just cherish what you have and enjoy life, whether it's work life, whether it's your home life because someday, it won't be there anymore,” said Letty.
Letty now speaks publicly not only to raise awareness about the consequences of drunk driving but also to give thanks.
two employees along with a conference room. Anyone with an idea is asked to contact the group at 830-401-0422.
The group will also be conducting a closing sale for its Habitat Restore on Friday, Aug. 1 and Saturday, Aug. 2 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“Don't do it because you don't know who you're going to hurt. Like I said, it wasn't just Blas who got hurt. It was all his family, all his brothers, his sisters, his students, his friends. You ruined somebody's life for a bad choice. And there's so many ways you can get around that -- call an Uber, call a friend, anything. Just try to think about it and try not to do it,” said Letty.
On July 25, 2021, Blas was riding a 2018 HarleyDavidson just two miles from his San Marcos home when he struck debris left on the road from a recent crash. The debris had come from a vehicle wreck caused by 18-yearold Carlos Alexander “Alex” Portillo Jr. of San Antonio, who had been driving under the influence.
The recent civil trial found that Koozies Icehouse & Grill, a now-closed New Braunfels bar, and its owner were liable for overserving alcohol to Portillo before the crash. Under Texas’ Dram Shop Act, businesses can be held accountable for serving alcohol to obviously intoxicated individuals who then cause harm. Portillo, who was charged with intoxication assault, received a 10-year suspended sentence and was ordered to complete community service. According to reports, the family is not likely to see most, if any, of the $831 million, as the bar has since closed and most likely does not have the financial means or insurance coverage to pay the family.
