Tornado Victims - Off Topic Options

[AWD DSM 1]

I'm sure that all of you heard about the Tornados that ripped through Woodford county yesterday afternoon that leveled the Parsons Manufacturing plant. What you may not have heard about is the families in the nearby houses that were also leveled. One such family happens to go to church with my parents. They were actually in the hospital celebrating the birth of their new daughter when the tornado hit. Another family, also from my parents church, was babysitting their other 3 girls and were home when the twister struck. Somehow everyone escaped with only minor injuries. Their home, however was completely destroyed. The tornado took the barn, the cars, even the trees... it looks like a giant bulldozer came and wiped everything away.

If you would like to help this family out, our church will be accepting donations of clothing, toys, household items, as well as monetary gifts to help this family of 6 try to begin re-building their lives. Please feel free to call the Christian Union Church in Metamora at 309-367-4603 for more information.
