Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced Friday that an anonymous donor will cover all funeral costs after the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
On Tuesday, an 18-year-old man opened fire on Robb Elementary School, killing 21 people, 19 of whom were children. Uvalde’s shooting was one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history.
Abbott said an anonymous person donated $ 175,000 to ensure families could pay for the funeral.
“We thank this anonymous donor for his generosity,” Abbott told a news conference. I have to worry about a single cost for anything related to this parody. “
Many of the relatives of the victims of the tragedy have resorted to crowdfunding for resources such as therapy and medical expenses.
GoFundMe recently compiled a list of verified fundraisers for the victims of Uvalde, which includes the families of those who were killed.
A GoFundMe fundraiser for Irma Garcia, a fourth-grade teacher who protected her students during the attack, and her husband Joe Garcia, who died two days after a heart attack, raised more than $ 2.4 million.
