A fundraiser was started specifically for the kids of Irma and Joe Garcia of Uvalde, Texas.
Irma was the teacher who died in her classroom and Joe was her husband who had a heart attack two days after she died.
Irma was a 4th grade teacher who taught at the school for more than 20 years.
The couple had four children.
The fundraiser for the four children has raised $2.7 million.
There is another fundraiser, verified by GoFundMe for the families affected by the shooting. That fundraiser has raised over $5 million.
