We want to thank everyone that has been reaching out and offering their support and assistance. Please pray for our now broken family. The girls have left a void that nothing in the world could ever fill. Please pray for their mom, my sister, and her broken heart. Please also pray for their dad, that despite all the trauma he has had to endure, is still unbelievably strong. They will be forever missed and loved.” Donate

Irvin Walker II Fund
“On the afternoon of May 6, 2023, at approximately 3:30pm, Irvin Walker was one of the first victims shot during the mass shooting at the Allen Premium Outlet in Allen, TX. Irvin was driving past the shooter’s car to find a parking spot when the gunman began shooting directly into Irvin’s car. While he was shot twice in his chest (one, very close to his heart) and once in his right shoulder-thankfully and by the grace of GOD-he is in stable condition and expected to survive. With that being said, Irvin has a long road to recovery and is expected to have surgery to remove the bullets and its fragments from his body.” Donate
Support for Allen Fund at CFT
“CFT has established the Support for Allen Fund to collect funds that provide support for those who have been impacted by this senseless tragedy. Gifts to CFT’s Support for Allen Fund will be directed to local nonprofit agencies that are providing much needed resources and services in response to this tragedy. This includes agencies providing mental health, grief, and trauma support for the victims and their families, as well as first responders who may also have been impacted by this event. Note: this fund will not provide direct payments to individuals.”
