Introduction
San Antonio, TX — In the wake of the catastrophic floods that ravaged Texas earlier this month, stories of loss have been heartbreaking — but some, like this one, have also revealed the depth of human kindness.
Among the victims of the July floods was a young girl, just 6 years old, who lost everything: her home, her safety, and both of her parents. For days, she sat in a crowded shelter, clutching the soaked remains of a stuffed bear and staring silently at the floor.
Her future seemed uncertain — until George Strait and his wife, Norma Strait, stepped in.
Witnesses say it was George and Norma’s longtime friends in the community who first told them about the girl’s story. The couple, who have long supported children’s causes and relief efforts in Texas, arranged to visit her privately.
Norma, who has worked with children’s charities for years, reportedly knelt in front of the little girl and asked softly if she’d like to come home with them. The girl’s only response was to nod and throw her arms around Norma’s neck.
