Damage in Joplin, MO.
Now is the time to give what you can to help. A dollar. If each of my followers gave
one dollar, we'd raise over $200 for relief.
It's a drop in the bucket, but a big drop!
I've compiled a list here of ways you can help. Please choose one that best suits you and give as you are able. Our fellow Americans depend on it.

For all my sewing buddies! If you can make a child's sized blanket, this group will get it to kids who need it! They also need handmade tote bags for the blankets to go in as well

Pray. Of course the thing that costs nothing is the most powerful. Pray that families who lost loved ones will be comforted. Pray that those whose employer is no longer functioning can find work. Pray for children who will be terrified of every flash of lighting from now on. Pray for workers to have strength and energy.
