The Santana Family's Ordeal

Eddie Santana Sr., 69, and Ileana Santana, 66, were visiting family at a riverside cabin in Kerr County when the disaster hit. Early Friday morning, floodwaters surged, tearing the cabin from its foundation with the Santana family inside.

Also in the cabin were their son, Eddie Santana Jr., 39, his wife Camille, 38, and their young daughter, Mila Rosa, 5. The river’s ferocious power overwhelmed them all.

A Son's Survival and Continued Search

Eddie Jr. heroically escaped through the roof and clung to debris for nearly four grueling hours before being rescued. After a hospital stay, he’s now joining his brother, Michael, and other family members in the desperate search for their parents and loved ones.

Friends and supporters have rallied to create a fundraiser to support the Santana family as they navigate this heartbreaking situation and continue the search.
