We are devastated and saddened by the tornado that hit St. Louis city. A lot has been lost and completely destroyed. My home has been severely damaged and the roof caved into my room specifically and has left me with nowhere to sleep, little access to my clothes, and my mother trying desperately to find a new normal for our home now.

We have had so many friends and family ask what is needed right now, and we honestly have been in shock and not really knowing what to say when so many others have been affected in our community. But the truth is, a small donation can make a big difference. If you can donate what you can to help us fix our roof so that more damage won't persist. Right now, there is a huge hole in our roof where the chimney fell. I don't have a bed or access to my things because since our home is over 100 years old there my be asbestos in the ceiling.

My mother and I thank you in advance for helping. We appreciate you more than you understand right now. Thank you!
