Help the Mrazek Family Rebuild After Tornado

Help the Mrazek Family Rebuild After Devastating Tornado

On the evening of May 16th, a powerful tornado tore through Marion, Illinois, leaving destruction in its path. Tragically, my sister Emily, her husband Sterling, and my godson Caden — lost everything. Their home and business were completely destroyed, and they are now left with nothing but the clothes they were wearing, and the few items they have been able to salvage while combing through the glass and rubble.

Thankfully, everyone in the family made it out safely, but they are facing the unimaginable: starting over from scratch.

The Mrazeks are the kind of people who always lend a hand — whether it’s volunteering at school events, helping a neighbor, or showing up when someone’s in need. Now, it’s our turn to show up for them.

This GoFundMe is set up to help cover their immediate needs:

food and essentials

Replacement of lost belongings

A temporary place to live and reopen their business

Rebuilding costs

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference. If you’re unable to give financially, sharing this page can help us reach more hearts.

Let’s come together and help Emily, Sterling, and Caden find hope, comfort, and a fresh start in the face of this overwhelming loss.

Thank you for your kindness and support for my sister’s family.
