With an angel on their side, the Alvarez family unpacked a trailer full of donated toys for children in Uvalde, Texas.
UVALDE, Texas -- A woman dealing with the death of her own child is bringing a message of love and support from Houston to Uvalde. Just three months after Arlene Alvarez was unintentionally shot and killed on the way to dinner with her family, her mother is putting her grief aside.
"When my baby girl had passed away, they gifted me a teddy bear with her heartbeat. That comforted me so much. I just feel like Uvalde needs a lot of love. The moment I came in this town, I felt the grief. I felt the pain," Alvarez said."The moment I found out it was fourth graders, man, it took me back to my baby girl. She was a fourth grader, you know," Alvarez said.
He's been in touch with the White House and Houston Representative Sheila Jackson Lee. Sen. Gutierrez is asking for federal dollars to fund mental health care for the Uvalde community, along with gun control measures.
