Alfred Garza wears a necklace bearing a photo of his daughter, who was 10 when she died at Robb Elementary.announced he would allocate $5 million for Uvalde to open a social services center for grieving residents. That created confusion for many in the community, including the mayor and a state senator for the area who said they expected those dollars to flow directly to residents.
Since it was formed on June 22, the committee has held two town hall meetings, the latest one last week, to allow families to share how they feel the money should be divided and who should qualify. The committee also needed time to research laws and make sure that recipients don’t get taxed for relief money and that they don’t lose other benefits such as Medicare and Medicaid after receiving financial help, Gerdes said.
Garza and others have turned to other places for financial help, which can be a time-consuming process. Garza said he filled out a nine-page application for help from the state attorney general’s, a 43-year-old program open to anyone in Texas who has been the victim of a crime. Two weeks later, Garza said he received $1,000, just enough to make one mortgage payment.
“My heart breaks for the families and community in Uvalde. Words can hardly do justice — let alone money,” said Attorney Generalin a statement in May. “I encourage all victims, their families, and providers to apply for this program to help ease the burden they’re carrying.” “These families cannot begin to heal unless they are given time to grieve free from financial worry,” Gutierrez said
Renae Eze, a spokesperson for Abbott, said in a statement that the governor “has taken immediate action to address all aspects of the heinous crime committed in Uvalde, working with state agencies to deploy all available resources and provide support to the victims’ families and the Uvalde community.”
“The commitment is for the long term. We’re here to serve so families get what they deserve,” Fisk said.
