Before May 24, the smile of Jessica Treviño’s 11-year-old daughter was contagious.
“We have a soccer game this Saturday, and the first thing she asked me — ‘What if they shoot it up? What if I lose my brothers and sisters?’” Treviño said. “How do I respond to that?” She said that’s costing the family about $2,000 per week. On top of that, she’s also paying for the mental health treatment two of her other kids are receiving.
“We have a lot of people looking for financial help,” said state Sen. Roland Gutierrez, a Democrat who represents Uvalde. “Their children don't want them to go back to work. It’s just a mess. I mean, it's just a mess.”But there are many moving pieces. Gutierrez said many parents have not received help.Earlier this month, Gutierrez penned a joint letter with Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin to Gov.
“Some people think that people who were not injured shouldn't get anything. Some people think that people who were not injured should get something, but only if they were in the fourth grade building. Some people think that even the kids who weren't there at the time and went home early should also get something."Once those applications are completed, Mitchell says reimbursements are up to the Texas Attorney General’s Office.
