3 Missing Texas Girls Found Alive in a Hollow Tree 1 Mile From Camp — They Survived Nearly 10 Days Thanks to These 2 Things…

In what’s being called one of the most miraculous survival stories in American history, three girls who vanished during the Texas flood disaster have been found alive — tucked inside the hollow of an ancient oak tree just one mile from the ravaged Camp Wrenwood.

The girls — Emily Rivera, Zoey Nash, and Hope Lin, ages 8 to 10 — survived for nearly 10 days with no food, using only rainwater and lessons from a wilderness safety drill they had completed days before the storm.

The Discovery: “We’re Here… Please Don’t Leave”

A volunteer hiker was combing the area when she heard a faint noise from beneath a fallen tree. At first, she believed it was an animal — until a tiny voice cried out: “We’re here… please don’t leave.”

Emergency crews arrived within minutes and discovered the three girls curled together inside a hollow tree trunk, wrapped in soaked towels and using a broken shoelace to tie bark across the entrance like a makeshift door.

How They Survived: Two Key Lifelines

Rainwater Collection: The girls used plastic wrappers in a V-shape to catch rain runoff and drank water from leaves and clothing.
Pre-Camp Safety Drill: Just days before the flood, camp counselors taught a survival exercise. The girls remembered the golden rule: “Stay dry. Stay together. Stay quiet.”
“We Believed in Each Other”

Despite exhaustion, early dehydration, and dozens of insect bites, the girls are recovering and expected to fully heal. One paramedic recalled them whispering:

“We kept talking about our moms. That helped.”

The Nation Rejoices: “This Is America’s Hope Story”

As the news spread, family members at the base camp collapsed into tears. Church bells rang across towns in Texas, while social media lit up with hashtags like #HollowTreeHeroes, #3StrongGirls, and #FaithFoundThem.

“Ten days. No fire. No food. Just bravery.”

These three young heroes showed that even in the darkest storm, light and love endure.
