Help Ruby's Family Rebuild After Tornado Devastation

Help the Family of Ruby Rebuild After Tornado Destroys Home

On May 16, 2025, our beloved grandmother Ruby’s home — a place filled with decades of memories, love, and faith — was completely destroyed by a tornado that tore through St. Louis, MO.

What once stood as a refuge and anchor for generations of our family is now rubble. My cousins were inside the home when it collapsed, and by God’s grace, they survived
The loss is unimaginable: not just of belongings, but of security, stability, and the place we called home.

This house wasn’t just a building. It was Ruby’s pride. It was where we gathered for holidays, where she prayed over us, fed us, loved us fiercely, and reminded us of who we are. Ruby is the heartbeat of our family, and this tragedy has shaken us to the core.

We are asking for your support to help cover:
• Emergency shelter and temporary housing for the family
• Replacement of essential items lost in the destruction
• Clean-up and recovery costs
• Long-term assistance to help rebuild what was lost

There is nothing left. We are starting from ground zero, but we believe in the power of God, community, prayer, and compassion. If you feel led to give, any amount — no matter how small — will go directly toward helping my family recover and rebuild.

Please share this with anyone who might be willing to help. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

With gratitude and hope,
The family of Ruby
