New Need for help in Joplin,Missouri for Tornado survivors
My friend Traci Thorne, who is a hard working member of L2F, is from Joplin, Missouri. Her mother lives in a house 2 streets from the tornado path. Her mother's house is ok and her mother is well but it was very scary for her. Many of Traci's friends were not so lucky and have lost their houses. They are alive but their houses are destroyed. Traci has traveled to Joplin this weekend to start helping. We would like to collect gift cards to Walmart or debit cards for her to help people that she knows need help. We can also accept checks made out to J10 Church with L2F in the memo. One of the Walmart stores was destroyed but I believe they do have another in town. I am from Nebraska and have witnessed 3 tornadoes and many funnel clouds and cannot imagine what it must have been like to go through this.
Please help if you can...there are so many people there that need our help. If you would like to help please email me and we can arrange to pickup anything donated. Thank you so much.
Thank you from David's family in the Tennessee Tornado
We received a thank you from the family in the Tennessee tornado that I want to pass along to you!

I am including pictures below from another friend from Joplin and including some her husband took of his family's house. The pictures are amazing. All the family survived but the children were lifted into the air by the tornado and pulled back by their parents like in a movie. They have punctures, broken bones, cuts and bruises but are alive! This donation will go straight to Joplin within the next few weeks to help people, in a very personal way, get back on their feet.

I saw David today. He came right up to me when he arrived on the job and expressed that he greatly appreciated the huge stack of gift cards! I know it touched his heart. He said he wants to look up your church web site but just hasn't had a chance to do so yet. Please let L2F know how pleased he was.
We sent them $450 worth of gift cards to help get them back on their feet. Thank you all so much for your help!
