Tornado Victim Lost Everything

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Laken James.  On May 10, 2016, a tornado touched down in Mayfield, KY and destroyed my brother's, Matt James, belongings. Matt has never been one to ask anyone for a handout and has been a hard worker since he was old enough to drive. Even before then he would spend his summers in WV helping out grandpa on his farm. My brother was hurt and had his dog, Ruger, ripped out of his arms during the tornado.

Matt is a student at Murray State University and is expected to graduate next year. WHen he left to attend Murray, he bought a travel camper to live in to save on expenses and to be able to have Ruger somewhere he could get out and run. His camper was completely destroyed and had no insurance coverage. As soon as Matt was released from ICU, he has been dilengly searching for Ruger. He had accepted an intership in Lexington, KY which is a requirement for him to graduate to graduate but due to the injury to his leg that is an uncertainty which leaves him with the possibilty of no emplooyment. My brother has worked two jobs while attending Murray State and knowing how hard he has worked to get to where he is has made me decide to start this fund for him. I hate to see him struggle over the fact that Ruger was ripped from his arms. Nonetheless to see him financially not be able to do the things he needs to do to finish school or be able to get back on his feet. Any donation will be greatly appreciated and will be used for the sole purpose it was intended. Thank you from the bottom on my family's heart for all your support and encouragement.
