Help the Branans after devastating storm

Friends, fans and supporters of Rebecca, Cory, Clem and the Admiral: On August 9th, the Branan family residence fell victim to catastrophic damage during the storms in Memphis when three trees were uprooted and fell directly onto the family’s property - crushing entire rooms of their house and totaling Rebecca’s car.

Somehow, someway, nobody was physically hurt during this nightmarish episode. The utility company is saying the storm involved a "microburst" in which winds can exceed 100 mph equivalent to an EF-1 tornado! The damage to their property and belongings is nearly incalculable.

The family will likely be responsible for replacing almost all of their earthly belongings - from clothing to books to Rebecca’s beloved kitchenware and Clem’s stuffies collection, plus the aforementioned car - not to mention the added burden of hunting for a new place to live. The guitar gods were looking out for Cory, and he was able to rescue most of his equipment.

Any monetary support that you’re able to contribute to the family as they navigate this unforeseen challenge is greatly appreciated. Your contributions will go towards anything and everything the Branans need to keep afloat during this difficult and heart-wrenching time - meals, hotel stays, transportation and replacing their lost belongings, to start.

If you’d be so kind to donate and share, it would be greatly appreciated. Let’s help get these wonderful people back on their feet.

**UPDATE** We are delighted to announce that we have CRUSHED our starting goal in a matter of hours thanks to hundreds of donors, all out of the goodness of their hearts. However, we're not stopping now. Our friends lost everything that day- let's keep working to help them regain what's been lost. Thank you SO much for the absolute outpouring of love and support.
