The Wilson household in Berrytown, Mississippi, has been in the family for nearly a century. On Dec. 28, it was hit by a tornado, ripping off a portion of the house, tearing off part of the roof and severely damaging the rest. The interior floor also suffered significant damage.

Due to the age of the house, repairs will costly and may not even be possible, which would mean a couple living on their retirement -- one of whom is dealing with serious medial issues -- will need a new home. There is no insurance, making the situation more difficult.

Thank you for your consideration and help for Rick and Theja, to genuinely good people who have given so much to their friends and loved ones.
