SAN ANTONIO – This weekend, one San Antonio family turned heartache into help.
Loved ones of Ethan Soto and Savanah Soto handed out turkeys to families Saturday afternoon at Kenwood Park in their honor. Both died from gun violence. Savanah also lost her unborn child.
Between 50 to 100 turkeys were donated.
“My way of coping with this is helping people,” said Joshua Delgado, their brother. “Hopefully, I bring a family together because they were able to get a turkey.”
Ethan was shot and killed in 2022. Savanah and Fabien died one year later after also being shot.
“It’s just crazy,” Delgado said. “This Thanksgiving, we’re not gonna have my brother or sister again for the second year.”
Just two weeks ago, the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office dismissed charges for one of the people arrested in connection to Savanah’s murder.
After years of tragedy, Delgado said a giveaway like this helps his family find some peace during the holidays.
“I don’t know how to hurt for them, but I do like to keep their names alive,” he said.
There are many places providing food to families this Thanksgiving. Click here to see the full list.
