Twelve-year-old Ayden Flores had a stroke of good fortune recently when his name was drawn as the winner of a handmade quilt raffled by the Dewitt Lavaca Counties Democratic Women and Men.
Ayden, the son of Jesse Flores and grandson of Margaret Vargas, proudly accepted the quilt alongside his father. The moment was captured with club members Isabel Patton, Angie Bowles, and Susana Weber, who helped organize the raffle and presented the prize.
The raffle was part of the club’s ongoing efforts to support community engagement and raise funds for local initiatives. Quilts, often treasured for their craftsmanship and tradition, symbolize warmth, family, and community—making Ayden’s win especially meaningful.
Club members expressed joy in seeing a young recipient take home the prize, noting that raffles like these not only raise funds but also strengthen ties among families and neighbors.
Ayden’s win serves as a reminder of the simple joys found in community gatherings and the lasting impact of traditions carried forward by local organizations.
