Survivors of the 2018 Santa Fe High School shooting held an event in Uvalde to help the community on their path to healing.
A show of unity and support continues to pour into the Uvalde community after the massacre at Robb Elementary School.– A show of unity and support continues to pour into the Uvalde community after the massacre at Robb Elementary School.“They’re in a time in their lives where it feels like there’s never going to be any better days and it feels like there’s never going to be a new normal,” Jordyn Boutwell, the Stronger Together event organizer, said.
The Stronger Together event was closed to the media. Boutwell said it was to make sure families were comfortable.“That will definitely hands-down be the worst day of my life and I knew at the age of 14 my life would never be the same,” she said.Boutwell is a survivor of the 2018 Santa Fe High School shooting where 10 people were killed and 13 others were hurt.
She’s not alone in her desire to help. Cheryl Turner is from the Austin area. She and other artists from across the country painted hearts for Uvalde to donate to the city and to families. “My heart is that the families will get a heart and if they’re not all here today, I want them to go to a safe place that somebody can get one to them,” Turner said.“So although I can’t change to these poor innocent kids, I can be there to support them,” Boutwell said.
All donations from the Stronger Together event will go towards the Uvalde Together We Rise Fund, which currently has $14 million.
