Where To, Sir?

Last night a tornado destroyed Joplin, MO, leaving some of my family homeless. My cousin Cory (single-dad), and his sons, Brooks (9) and Jake (7) lost their home and all their possessions in the storm, which carved a 6-mile long, 1/2 mile wide path through the center of the city. As if things could be any worse, 3 weeks ago, Cory was laid off from his job, rendering him currently unable to provide financially. They’ve literally lost everything but their lives, and have no means of replacing any of it. One of the boys’ teachers was also killed.

EDIT: Both boys teachers have been found safe!

I’ll keep this short. They desperately need our help. I’m asking anyone who feels moved and can afford it to donate whatever they can. Even 5 or 10 dollars will be very helpful to them. If you can give more, do it! It’s very rare that I would ask this sort of thing of anyone, but this is very important to me. Think of your own family. If we could get 200 people to give $10 per month for a few months, we could significantly cut down on their bills and help them get back on their feet. If we spread the word efficiently and got thousands of people to give $2 each, that would be simple and overwhelmingly huge.

Thanks for reading. You can click on the Donate button below to give via Paypal. It only takes a minute. You don’t even need a paypal account. Just a credit or debit card. You should get an email receipt. If you don’t, leave me a comment on here. I’ll get it on my phone. God bless you.
