On Tuesday, an 18-year-old opened fire at Robb Elementary School, killing21 people — 19 of whom were children. The Uvalde shooting was one of the deadliest school shootings in US history.
Abbott said an anonymous individual donated $175,000 to ensure that families could pay funeral costs.
"We appreciate that anonymous donor for his generosity," Abbott said during a press conference, "and we will ensure that those resources get into the right hands to make sure that no family who is suffering from incalculable heartbreak at this time will have to worry about a single cost with regard to anything concerning this travesty."
GoFundMe recently compiled a list of verified fundraisers for Uvalde victims, which includes families of those who were killed.
A GoFundMe fundraiser for Irma Garcia, a fourth-grade teacher who shielded her students during the attack, and her husband Joe Garcia, who died two days later from a heart attack, raised over $2.4 million.
