Gov. Greg Abbott joined the Vaqueros del Mar Texas Flood Relief Fund last weekend to present $25,000 checks to families affected by recent catastrophic flooding in the Hill Country.
The funds were raised at last month’s “Strait to the Heart” benefit concert, hosted by George Strait and Estancia Estates founder Tom Cusick. The money will assist families who suffered severe storm damage or lost their homes during the floods.
“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 presentation by state Rep. Wes Virdell, Texas Division of Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd, and Cusick.
Last month’s benefit concert raised more than $6 million to support Texans impacted by the floods.
