Two teachers in El Paso, Texas, who put out a call for people to send postcards to their students after a mass shooting at a local Walmart, have been inundated with more than 1,000 cards and counting.

“It has been a very humbling experience to receive such an outpouring of love and kindness from everyone,” Teresa Garrett, a fourth-grade teacher at Tom Lea Elementary School, told “Good Morning America.”

The gunman allegedly targeted the Walmart in El Paso, which sits near the U.S. border with Mexico, because it is frequented by Mexicans who come there to shop, according to police. Garrett had meanwhile also been trying to think of ways to help the El Paso community. She said that when she saw Flores' post, she asked that her name and school address be included too.

"One card had a fire truck on it and a student was so excited because he wants to be a fireman and he started asking all these questions about becoming one," Flores said."Another girl whose dad was actually there [at the shooting[, she just smiled at her card." “We are a family,” Garrett said. “To be honest, El Paso is a family. We may be large but as our Texas Pledge says, ‘We are one and indivisible.’”

MikaylaOrtega7 Crusius right? What are the chances?

It won’t stop the fear of being slaughtered. As I teacher I know I’ve held them close during our lock down drills and their little bodies shake uncontrollably and they ask for constant reassurance “it’s just a drill it’s not real right” mode So not looking forward to this

👍

Crusius would be getting postcards too sadly, strange how that works isn’t it.
