San Antonio, TX \u2014 Tonight, people came together for the flood victims in Hill Country while also remembering the flooding tragedy from the Beitel Creek flooding last month.<\/p>\n
Centro San Antonio hosted a candlelight vigil in Travis Park to remember the Kerr County flood victims.<\/p>\n
While many people who attended the vigil did not personally know the flood victims everyone at the vigil felt the family\u2019s pain.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have one son, and I just couldn\u2019t take it if I lose him,\u201d Maria Isbel Martinez said. They are so innocent and sweet. They went to have fun. They didn\u2019t make it back home to their parents. That\u2019s why we have to love each other. It\u2019s sad that it takes something like this to bring people together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trish DeBerry, the president of Centro San Antonio says the depth of grief in San Antonio runs deep because we know the pain the families in Kerr County are feeling after losing 13 lives in the Perrin Beitel flood last month.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust recovering from that and now we look at what\u2019s happened in the Hill Country,\u201d DeBerry said. \u201cMany people don\u2019t understand the ties San Antonio has to our neighbors to the North. Many familiar connections, so the grief is compounded by what we felt three weeks ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
Centro San Antonio also collected essential items for families at the vigil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Antonio, TX \u2014 Tonight, people came together for the flood victims in Hill Country while also remembering…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":48001,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,36849,36847,36850,718,36848,36851,18717,30887,7202,7203,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-48145","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-beitel-creek","10":"tag-candlelight-vigil","11":"tag-centro-san-antonio","12":"tag-community","13":"tag-flood-victims","14":"tag-grief","15":"tag-hill-country","16":"tag-kerr-county","17":"tag-san-antonio","18":"tag-sanantonio","19":"tag-texas","20":"tag-tx","21":"tag-united-states","22":"tag-united-states-of-america","23":"tag-unitedstates","24":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","25":"tag-us","26":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114816528195972368","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48145"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48145\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48145"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
