Beyond medical bills in the millions and the weight of trauma and grief, mass shooting survivors and their family members contend with scores of changes showing how their lives have been upended by violence.
Mayah Zamora, second from left, a survivor of the mass shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, poses for a photo with her mom Christina, left, dad Ruben, and brother Zach, right, at their home in San Antonio, Tuesday, June 27, 2023. Besides medical bills and the weight of trauma and grief, mass shooting survivors and their family members contend with scores of other changes that show how thoroughly their lives have been upended by violence.
Mayah suffered wounds to her chest, back, both hands, face and ear, and needed so many surgeries her parents said they stopped counting. The family relocated to San Antonio, where Mayah spent 66 days in the hospital and still needs care. Christina quit her job. The relocation separated the family: Ruben works seven days on, seven off in Uvalde. Mayah is terrified to return to Uvalde.
She has battled with health insurance, the hospital and worker’s compensation officials to figure out who would foot the $300,000 medical bill. Christiansen was scheduled to be at the festival that day. But she felt ill and stayed in her room, two doors down from where the gunman fired.
