BREAKING: Alan Jackson Quietly Launches “Healing Station” Mobile Clinic Amid Texas Flood Devastation
KERRVILLE, TX — In a heart-stirring act of humanity, country music icon Alan Jackson has personally funded and deployed a fully equipped mobile medical clinic into the heart of this weekend’s flood zones—delivering care in places still reeling from loss and trauma.
A Crisis Measured in Rain, Lives, and Trauma
When torrential rains followed the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry, Central Texas was hit with up to 20 inches of rain in two days—fueling flash floods that saw the Guadalupe River rise over 26 feet in just 45 minutes, and in some areas crest at nearly 38 feet.
The July 4 flash floods claimed at least 129 lives, with 103 in Kerr County alone, and left about 166 people still missing. Among the dead were 27 campers and counselors from Camp Mystic, decimated as the river breached the girls’ cabins.
“Healing Means More Than Just Rebuilding Homes”
Dubbed “Healing Station”, the mobile unit—operated through Jackson’s Still Standing Fund—delivers on-site basic medical services and rotating mental health support, directly targeting rural communities that have been cut off by flooding and lack access to care.
“Alan said recovering people need more than tarps and canned food,” said a volunteer.
“They need someone to bandage wounds and someone to help them stand emotionally.”
Quiet Compassion, Loud in Impact
-
No press. No parade. No social media blitz.
-
Just Alan Jackson’s team and a white truck arriving in silence.
-
A mission grounded in Jackson’s belief: “I don’t need them to remember me. I just want them to remember… someone came.”
Despite dealing with his own Charcot-Marie-Tooth health struggles, Jackson continues to lead with quiet resolve, providing careers in the trenches, not the spotlight.
A Growing Crisis—And A Growing Response
-
The death toll has been revised upward to at least 120, with Kerr County reporting 96+ deaths, including many children rescued from Camp Mystic’s 725-acre campus.
-
About 160 people remain missing, as search operations continue amid mud, debris, and unstable terrain.
-
The lack of prompt warning sirens or locally-triggered alerts, despite a flash flood warning issued at 1:14 a.m., has fueled public frustration.
-
Relief efforts now include over 2,100 responders, helicopters, and volunteers from 10 states; and large-scale community support from organizations like H-E-B, Walmart, the Red Cross, and FEMA.
