Flash floods in central Texas have claimed over 82 lives — including at least 28 children — prompting a state of emergency declared by President Donald Trump. The disaster hit hardest on July 4, with rapidly rising river levels devastating communities across Texas Hill Country. Among the hardest-hit areas was Camp Mystic, where several young lives were tragically lost.

In the aftermath, celebrities like Shakira, Jennifer Garner, Matthew McConaughey, and Khloé Kardashian have stepped up, urging support through donations and awareness. Shakira has pledged concert proceeds to Catholic Charities of San Antonio, while others are using their platforms to rally help.

The outpouring of support reminds us that even in heartbreak, compassion can rise higher than the waters.
