Flutter wrap text inside nested Widgets - flutter

Question

My Text widget is not wrapping, causing an overflow. I've tried methods from this post, but appear to be missing the right spot to add in a flex/expanded.
The spot where it says "//get this text to wrap" is the Text widget I'd like to wrap.
Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.only(top: 8.0),
child: Text(snapshot.data[index].message_text, //get this text to wrap
style: TextStyle(
color: Colors.grey,
fontSize: 15.0,
fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
),
overflow: TextOverflow.visible,
),
),
