5-year-old Texas church shooting victim wishes for Christmas cards
One of the youngest survivors of last month’s Sutherland Springs church
shooting is requesting holiday cards be sent to him this Christmas as he
continues to recover from the deadliest mass shooting in Texas history.
Ryland Ward, 5, does not yet know that his stepmother and two sisters were
among the 26 killed in the Nov. 5 massacre at First Baptist Church, The
Star-Telegram reported.
The boy was shot five times in the elbow, stomach and leg, and is having issues
with his kidney and a shattered femur. Doctors are hopeful that he can head
home in six to eight weeks, which means he’ll spend the holidays in the
hospital. To help lift his spirits, he’s requested holiday cards be sent to him
with photos of pets or a $1 inside.
Those looking to help make Ryland’s wish come true can send cards to
Ryland Ward
P.O. Box 174
Sutherland Springs, Texas, 78161
