May 16, 2025 , my Aunts life changed once again forever.

A devastating tornado tore through our community and destroyed her home completely. Her home was all she had left after losing her only son back on September 30, 2024. Her home was filled with years of memories, love, and laughter. She is completely heartbroken and overwhelmed by the sudden loss of her home & all of her belongings.

She is disabled & is now without her daily medications, clothing, food, toiletries etc.

She's now sleeping in the backyard of her house with her dog in her van which has busted windows as a result of the tornado.

While she's incredibly thankful to be alive, the emotional and financial toll is extremely heavy. She now has to face the challenge of rebuilding from the ground up without a home.

If you’re able to help in any way, even a small donation would mean the world to her. And if you can’t give, simply sharing this page helps more than you know.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support during this incredibly difficult time.

Her story has also been shared on St. Louis Channel 4 News.
