Cory & Steph Rebuilding Fund

My brother Cory and his fiancé Steph were at home last night with their 4 boys when the unimaginable occurred. Their town/neighborhood/home was hit by a tornado. Thankfully, the family occurred no physical damage, however their home & property were not so lucky and those little boys are very scared now. 
Let me tell you a little bit about this family and why they need our help right now. 

Cory and Steph live in a mobile home with their blended family of 4 boys. They were both brought together from the ashes of tragedy. Cory became a single father of 3 young boys and a daughter just a few short years ago when the boys' mother died in a tragic accident. This occurred while Cory himself was still learning to live after having survived a near fatal accident just shortly before. Making matters even harder is the fact that his eldest boy, Jay, has severe Cerebral Palsy and depends on others for all of his needs. The youngest at the time, was still only a few months old.  I know at the time, he would not have gotten through everything without the help of his family (Mom, sister, daughter & other extended family on both sides). This helped a lot in the beginning but those boys really needed a mom and Cory needed a companion. 


I do not know all of Steph's story and also wouldn't know how much she would want shared here, however, she herself lost her love in much the same manner as Cory did and ended up a single mom of a lovely young boy.

From these tragedies came one of the loveliest couples I've ever met. While being a lovely couple is great, I also believe they are one of the unluckiest couples also. Not only speaking of the experiences I've already written about, their luck just seems to get worst and worst.


Cory has been one of the hardest working men I have ever met in my life. He has always been one to tinker with this or that, building forts out of closets, and bedrooms out of sheds just as a few examples (from when we were younger obviously). The mobile trailer they now live in (and are currently trying to piece back together) has been made, BUILT, by hand, into their family home by Cory. He has worked hard, for a very long time now, to make it a place where they can raise their kids. While putting some last minute touches on a project a few months ago, Cory lost some of his fingers. Now this, I really believe their luck just HAS to change someday. I don't know if Cory has even been able to return to work since the finger accident and now that they have to piece their home back together (and their family vehicle was damaged), I don't know how much time they will be without an income and how much it will cost to repair the damages. I don't believe they had much, if any, insurance on their home and property. 

I would love if anyone/everyone could spare just a few dollars to help them out financially. If you live in their area and have extra building materials you'd like to donate to them, that would also be appreciated.

Also, please help the boys by sending loving and supporting messages that Cory and Steph can read to them.  Maybe it will help them to know how many people love and care for them. 

Thank you all for your love and support.
