As many of you may know, or are just now learning, the McComas family tragically lost everything in a devastating tornado that struck their area yesterday. If you're not familiar with the McComas family, know that this is a family that would give you the shirt off their back.

Matthew McComas, a lifelong resident of Marion, IL, served as a Sergeant in the Army 82nd Airborne Division. Jessica McComas, originally from Salem, Massachusetts, moved to Marion with Matthew to build a life and family together. Their children, Aaron, who just turned 11 this week (his birthday party was meant to be today at their home), and Lilly-Anne, a vibrant 5-year-old full of energy and joy, bring so much love to those around them.

This is an incredibly difficult time for this family, and they need our support. Let’s come together to help them rebuild after this catastrophic loss. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference. Please consider contributing to help the McComas family start over and recover from this heartbreaking tragedy.
