During Tuesday night's Houston Astros game, there was a beautiful moment. Mayah Zamora, a 10-year-old who was seriously injured in the Uvalde school shooting, got to throw out the first pitch.
Mayah was honored as the August Hero of the Month at the game, and she also got to meet some of the players.
But after spending 66 days in the hospital after the shooting, Mayah received even more special treatment.
Mayah and her family also found out they'd be getting a new home. The Correa Family Foundation and other donors are providing enough funding for the family to build one from the ground up. The arrangements were made after the 10-year-old found it too difficult to return to her home, having lived blocks away from the gunman who shot up her school.
"We were proud to announce yesterday that thanks to the generosity of numerous donors, we have secured the funding to build Mayah and her family a new home in a location where she feels safe and comfortable," the Correa Family Foundation said in a statement. "We hope this will be an opportunity for Mayah and her family to rebuild their lives, make new memories, and look towards a bright future."
Mayah has suffered a great deal both physically and emotionally as a result of the shooting. In the hospital, she underwent more than 20 surgeries to her chest, back, hands, and more.
She was released in July, making her the last victim to leave the hospital.
