A year before her death, she helped console the family of her best friend Nico, who was struck and killed by a car. "I never imagined that this little girl would be mature enough to say, 'Hey, you know what, I want to keep in touch. I want to check in,'" Fernanda Sedeno, Nico's mom told"I want to make [a] painting and bring a smile to your face. That's what I loved about her, and that shows how pure and kind her heart was."
"Even though she was so young, she still had the heart and [mentality] to reach out and think of others." The school district in Uvalde has opened an official account with First State Bank of Uvalde to support Robb Elementary families affected by the tragedy.
