Melania Trump has revealed the touching tribute she received from survivors of the deadly Texas Floods.

The First Lady was gifted a charm bracelet by girls at Camp Mystic which she vowed to wear as a ‘permanent reminder’ of the lives lost.

Melania, aged 55, posted on Instagram over the weekend to convey a heartfelt message to the survivors of the Christian girls’ summer camp that was severely affected by a flash flood on July 4.

‘FOREVER LOVE, MYSTIC,’ the First Lady wrote in a post showing the handcrafted charm bracelets.

‘This bracelet will forever hold a sacred place in my heart— a quiet, shining thread to the young souls who now watch over us from heaven. 

‘Every charm symbolizes the memories they left behind, the warmth of their presence, and will forever represent their love. Mystic is united eternally through the happy moments shared and the recollection of their laughter together,’ the poignant post ended.

The secluded Christian girls’ camp, situated along the Guadalupe River, was hit by an abrupt and disastrous rush of water in the early hours of the Fourth of July.

A barrage of rain caused the river to surge over 30 feet above its natural height, causing mass destruction and claiming the lives of 27 girls and counselors at the Hunt, Texas, location.

On Thursday, President Donald Trump and the First Lady visited the flood-ravaged area, where they met with first responders, families of the victims, and survivors of the tragic weather event. 

Melania said she was deeply moved by the stories shared by young girls and their families.

‘My deepest sympathy to all of the parents who lost beautiful young souls,’ she said after touring the devastation with the President. ‘We are grieving with you.’

The Trumps later held a private meeting with the victims’ families. 

‘We pray with them, we hug, we hold hands,’ the First Lady said of that time.

‘I met beautiful young ladies. They gave me this special bracelet from the camp in honor of all of the little girls that lost their lives. So we are here to honor them and also to give the support,’ she said, holding up her arm to show the silver charm bracelet.

Known for her typically reserved public presence, Melania made a rare and heartfelt statement of support to those grieving, and promised she would return to the area.

‘I will be back. I promise to them. And I just pray for them and [am] giving them my strength and love,’ she said.

Trump, 78, who had approved a federal disaster declaration for the region earlier in the week, described the flooding as ‘like a tidal wave,’ saying the extent of the damage was unlike anything he had ever seen.

The flood was triggered by days of heavy rainfall that caused the Guadalupe River to rise rapidly, overwhelming parts of Kerr and Kendall counties.

Authorities said dozens were swept away in what they called an ‘unprecedented surge.’

More than 100 people remain missing a week after heavy rains and flash floods devastated Texas Hill Country, destroying homes and leaving families struggling to recover. 

Emergency workers and volunteers are still combing through debris, holding out hope that some trapped residents may yet be found alive.

Officials warn the death toll – which has reached 129 as of Saturday evening – could continue to rise in the coming days.
