Grieving mom of dead Camp Mystic camper desperately seeks daughter's 'most prized possession' lost in devastating Texas floods
Share this @internewscast.com

A heartbroken Texas mother, whose 8-year-old daughter tragically passed away during catastrophic flash floods at Camp Mystic, is fervently searching for her child’s treasured stuffed animal.

Stacy Stevens, the mother of Mary Barrett Stevens—one of the 27 victims who lost their lives when disaster hit the all-girls Christian camp on July 4—shared that Mary’s adored brown monkey toy was swept away by the violent floodwaters.

“Searching for my daughter’s monkey that she cherished throughout her life and took along to camp,” Stevens shared on Tuesday in a since-removed public post within a Facebook group dedicated to recovering items lost from the Guadalupe River.

“We lost my daughter and would love to have it back as it was her most prized possession. It has her name on the tag — a square sticker with Mary Barrett Stevens on it. Please call me if you find it!”

The stuffed animal is believed to be a brown Fuddlewuddle monkey made by Jellycat.

It remains unknown if the furry companion was found.

But the Lost Stuffy Project, a nonprofit organization, has since claimed to have sent a replacement plush toy to the heartbroken mother.

“Grateful we were able to send a replica to this sweet family,” the group wrote on Instagram Thursday.

Camp Mystic, founded in 1926, didn’t evacuate before the devastating rainfall in the already flood-prone area along the Guadalupe River led to the deadliest floods Texas has seen in more than a century.

The fatal deluge ravaged the grounds of the Kerr County summer camp, killing 8- and 9-year-old campers, their teenage counselors, and the camp’s owner.

Mary, a student at Highland Park Elementary School in Austin, was remembered by loved ones as a kind-hearted, bright and compassionate child with an “infectious” laugh, according to a GoFundMe created to support the family.

Stevens had earlier offered words to her lost child via the Austin American-Statesman.

“You have left the most positive impact on everyone who knew you. I’m the luckiest that I got to be your mom and I will never stop loving you and trying to live life as you did. Fearless. Enthusiastic. Compassionate. And full of joy,” Stevens said, addressing Mary, according to the local outlet.

“Our world is shattered but I have peace getting your letters and knowing you were having the time of your life at camp and had a dance party with all of your friends before the Lord decided to take you from us. He has bigger plans for you.”

Stevens did not immediately respond to messages from The Post on Thursday afternoon. A spokesperson for the family said they are asking for privacy while they grieve.

At least 120 people were killed across the Lone Star State in the horrific flood, with 173 others still missing, including five campers and one counselor, officials said.

Rescuers continue to search for survivors.
