Anonymous donor pays all funeral expenses for Uvalde shooting victims

[Jace]

When I first read about 'funerals for the victims'... I saw where funeral homes were offering to pay for them. Then yesterday, I read that someone had donated the total cost. I'm quite confused but hate to worry myself over this. I don't know what actually transpired. All I know is that it is still going to help out these families with the cost of a funeral.

T Y, Pam, I didn't know that..glad you mentioned it!
Seems there ARE some mighty good people there!

You know I believe, that anyone who dies because of a crime committed by another person should have their funeral paid for by the state..

What a generous gesture....and done anonymously too. That is real charity.

He’s from Uvalde.

There‘re many many multi-millionaires just in Texas. Many good people too.

Matthew was born and raised in Uvalde, Texas; I attended school with his oldest brother, Mike (Michael).

Oh, bless what a wonderful generous act.

So all these street thugs / drug dealers that shoot and kill each other over turf, should be planted at the expence of the tax payers ?

Man I sure hope that idea never catches on.

More likely someone like Matthew McConaughey. Someone who made a public statement about the massacre and is also very philanthropic. Doesn't seem the Kardashians do anything without a splashy press release.

Also, the governor referred to the donor as "his" not "her" or "their."

Matthew McConaughey is first person who popped into my head too ... for many reasons

Matthew McConaughey visits hometown of Uvalde after shooting to meet with families​

McConaughey was born in Uvalde, Texas, and his mother, a teacher, worked at St. Philip’s Episcopal School, about a mile from Robb Elementary School, the site of the shooting.

God Bless the person who donated the money for the funerals.

Kind and generous people do exist.

Kind and generous people do exist.

And they have no ulterior motive. Just good and caring people.

Ohio has a crime victim assistance program that helps pay funeral expenses, but only for innocent victims. This has been law for many years.
