A powerful act of compassion, NASCAR driver Kyle Larson has donated $19 million of his prize money to aid victims and support ongoing search and rescue efforts in Texas following catastrophic flash floods that have claimed at least 68 lives. Among the deceased are 28 children, marking one of the most heartbreaking natural disasters in recent state history.
The floods, triggered by record-breaking rainfall, have left communities submerged, homes destroyed, and hundreds still unaccounted for. First responders, volunteers, and emergency crews continue to battle dangerous conditions to locate the missing and provide relief to survivors.
Larson’s donation is one of the largest private contributions made in response to the disaster. In a statement, he expressed deep sorrow over the loss of life, especially the children, and said he hoped his donation would provide immediate assistance to grieving families and bolster the heroic efforts of rescue teams working around the clock.
“This is bigger than racing,” Larson said. “If this can save lives or help a family rebuild, then it’s what needs to be done.”
Local officials praised Larson’s generosity, saying the funds would go directly toward shelter, medical aid, food, and equipment for rescue operations. As the search continues, the state and nation mourn the lives lost while rallying around the survivors.
Communities across Texas remain under flood warnings, and authorities urge residents to stay alert. Donations and support from public figures like Larson are bringing hope to devastated families in their darkest hour.
