A GoFundMe campaign has raised more than $2.5 million in support for the children left behind by the slain Uvalde elementary school teacher and her husband who died shortly after her killing.
The fundraiser was launched after the death of Irma Garcia, one of the two teachers killed in the May 24 attack at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Irma’s husband, Joe, died from what appeared to be a heart attack two days following the tragedy.
The couple was survived by two sons, 23-year-old Cristian and 19-year-old Jose; and two daughters, 15-year-old Lyliana and 12-year-old Alysandra.
Irma’s cousin, Debra Austin, wrote on the fundraiser campaign’s page that Irma was a “wonderful person” who would “do anything for anybody” with no questions asked and “loved her classroom kids and died trying to protect them.”…
