FLOOD UPDATE: Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid Pays for Funeral Expenses, Offers Financial Support to Victims’ Families After Central Texas Flash Floods Kill Nearly 80 Including 28 Children

Flood Update

A haunting silence lingers across Central Texas, broken only by the distant sounds of helicopters, search dogs, and rescue workers combing through debris. What started as a typical Sunday afternoon turned into a scene from a nightmare when sudden, violent flash floods tore through multiple towns, sweeping away homes, cars, and tragically — lives.

As of this morning, nearly 80 people have been confirmed dead, including 28 children. Dozens more remain unaccounted for. Emergency responders describe the scene as one of the worst natural disasters in recent Texas history.

But amid the heartbreak, a light of compassion has emerged — and it comes from an unexpected yet familiar face.

Late Monday evening, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid made headlines of his own — not for football, but for humanity.

In a quiet but powerful gesture, Reid personally contacted Texas state officials and representatives of several grieving families to cover all funeral expenses for the victims — and went even further by offering emotional and financial compensation to those most affected.

No press conference. No photo ops. Just action.

“Coach Reid didn’t want attention,” said a local pastor coordinating relief for several families. “He just said, ‘Tell them they’re not alone. We grieve with them.’ That’s all he wanted.”

The deadly floods struck fast and without mercy. Within minutes, overflowing rivers turned streets into raging torrents. Families barely had time to react.

One mother, now staying in an emergency shelter, broke down in tears when asked about the moment it all happened.

“I was cooking lunch… and the next thing I knew, water was smashing through the back door. My baby was upstairs. I couldn’t get to him.”

She lost her son.

Her story is one of dozens.

Entire neighborhoods were swept away. Schools were flooded mid-session. First responders are working around the clock, but the destruction is staggering.

Andy Reid’s contribution wasn’t just financial. Sources say he is also arranging grief counselors to fly into the region for the children and families left behind.

Some speculate his act was sparked by his own deeply personal experiences with tragedy. Reid lost his son Garrett in 2012 to a drug overdose — a wound he has rarely spoken of publicly.

“He knows grief,” said one NFL insider. “He knows what it’s like to bury a child. That’s why this hit home.”

Reid’s swift move has triggered a ripple effect across the sports world. Multiple Chiefs players have begun organizing donation drives. Other NFL teams are now coordinating to send supplies and support.

In the town of Marble Falls, a group of survivors held hands in a circle outside a makeshift shelter.

A young girl — no older than nine — clutched a water-stained teddy bear as she whispered, “Why did this happen?”

A volunteer bent down, wiping tears from the child’s face.

“Bad things happen,” she said, “but good people come to help. Like Coach Andy.”

The moment news of Reid’s action broke, #CoachReidCares began trending across X (formerly Twitter), Threads, and TikTok.

One viral post read:

“Andy Reid just proved again why he’s more than a coach. He’s a father. A man of heart. A legend on and off the field.”

Another read:

“Forget touchdowns. This is the win that matters most.”

The road ahead for Central Texas will be long. Officials warn that the death toll may still rise as more homes are searched. Thousands remain displaced.

But in the ashes of tragedy, acts of compassion like Andy Reid’s provide a glimmer of light.

No statement has been issued by Reid himself. When asked for comment, a Chiefs spokesperson said simply:

“Coach Reid asks for prayers — not for himself, but for the families.”

And so, the prayers continue — for the 28 children lost, for the parents who now have empty bedrooms, for the first responders still fighting to find the missing… and for the quiet, humble man who just reminded the world what it means to show up when it matters most.

Stay with us for continued updates as rescue efforts continue.
And if you want to help, local relief organizations have opened donation portals now accepting funds, supplies, and volunteers.

🙏 Texas is hurting. But Texas is not alone.
