On behalf of one of my dearest friends, Elma and Tony Gonzales, I am asking for your help.

Like so many families affected by the devastating 2026 Uvalde flood, Elma, Tony and her family experienced the unimaginable. In a matter of moments, they lost nearly everything they had worked so hard to build. Their home, belongings, treasured keepsakes, and the sense of security we all take for granted were forever changed.

If you know Elma, you know she is the first person to show up for others without hesitation. Now, she and her family are the ones who need our support.

Every donation—no matter the amount—will go directly toward helping them replace essential items, rebuild their home, and begin the long road to recovery. If you’re unable to give, sharing this fundraiser with your friends and family would mean the world.

Thank you for surrounding Elma and Tony and her family with love, hope, and generosity during one of the most difficult seasons of their lives. Together, we can help remind them they are not facing this alone.
