Sunday, May 10, 2026 2:27AMThe American Red Cross Texas Gulf Coast Region honored those who served our country in a special way for Mother's Day.
They spent their morning hosting a baby shower for military moms and those expecting little ones soon. The main idea behind it is to help mothers and moms-to-be succeed by providing them with support and knowledge about pregnancy and early motherhood. It's also a way for military spouses to network with each other. And just like traditional baby showers, they all received gifts like diapers, diaper bags, and other various baby items.
ABC13 spoke with one military family who talked about their appreciation for the Red Cross while they had to attend to a sick family member.
"Red Cross acted expeditiously. They jumped through bells and whistles and hoops to get us home to see her grandmother, and then later, her grandfather had passed shortly, and was able to get our son to see him before he passed. That was like his last dying wish," Darion Michael, Army Veteran, said.
"So just having the Red Cross help us throughout that time, it was immaculate. "Copyright © 2026 KTRK-TV. All Rights Reserved.
