“We understand that anonymous donor for his generosity,” Abbott said during a press conference, “and we will ensure that those resources get into the upper hands to make sure that no family who is suffering from incalculable heartbreak at this time will be struck by to worry about a single cost with regard to anything concerning this travesty.”
