BREAKING: Alan Jackson Launches Secret Scholarship Fund for Flood Orphans in Texas
San Marcos, TX — In the wake of devastating Texas floods, while the world focused on emergency response, country legend Alan Jackson quietly set into motion something far more enduring: a future.
Through his Still Standing Fund, Jackson has launched a heartfelt initiative titled “One Day at a Time”, a scholarship program dedicated to children who lost their parents in the disaster. Covering tuition, books, and mental health services, this deeply personal act of generosity will support at least 30 young survivors — not just for a semester, but for life.
There was no press tour. No announcement gala. Just one quiet message in a recorded video:
“I can’t fix what’s gone… but maybe I can help them believe in something again.”
More Than Education — A Lifeline for the Future
The program isn’t simply financial aid. It’s a full-circle support system:
-
Full tuition through high school and college
-
Book stipends and school supplies
-
Ongoing access to trauma-informed mental health care
-
Mentorship and community support
This is more than charity — it’s an emotional safety net for children facing unimaginable grief.
No Spotlight, No Signature — Just Service
Perhaps the most touching part? Alan Jackson insisted his name appear nowhere on the paperwork.
“He doesn’t want praise,” said a fund representative. “He just wants to make sure these kids aren’t forgotten.”
That’s Alan — the same man who’s written songs about fathers, faith, and family for decades, now living those values offstage in the most humble way.
One Day at a Time — More Than Just a Name
The name of the fund says it all: “One Day at a Time.” It’s not about overnight miracles. It’s about walking with these children — day by day — through grief, growth, and eventually, healing.
Much like his songs, the message is quiet, but it carries weight:
Even in the darkest times, we still move forward. One day at a time. Together.
