INGRAM — Gov. Greg Abbott joined the Vaqueros del Mar Texas Flood Relief Fund Saturday as they presented $25,000 checks to families impacted by the catastrophic Hill Country floods.
The funds come from last month’s “Strait to the Heart” benefit concert, hosted by George Strait and Estancia Estates founder Tom Cusick.
The checks will help families who suffered severe storm damage or lost their homes during the devastating flooding.
“We as a state are working tirelessly to make sure that the recovery process is as easy and effective as possible,” Abbott said. “If you have a need in your area, let us know. There are a lot of people here to assist you with those needs. These checks will help you piece your lives back together, and there’s more help on the way.”
After his remarks, Abbott met with families whose homes were damaged or destroyed, assuring them that Texas will stand with them until they fully rebuild and recover.
Abbott was joined at the check presentation by Cusick, State Rep. Wes Virdell (R-Kerrville), and Nim Kidd, Texas Division of Emergency Management chief.
Last month, Abbott attended the “Strait to the Heart” benefit concert, which raised more than $6 million to help support impacted Texans.
