Tornado Fund Help
Donation protected
I posted about our family that lost nearly everything from a tornado in Tennessee. I know so many wonderful people and thought I'd reach out this route to try to help them from afar. Any amount, big or small I know would be so appreciated. The text below is from our cousin Amy.

Finally able to take a breath to thank the many people who assisted us last night, today, and the days to come.
My mom, son, husband, and myself had a tornado rip through our area last night. We have lost our new home, our old home, my mom lost her camper that she lived in. It was the most terrifying thing I have ever been through.
Many thanks to:
The first responders that cut their way through the trees and downed power lines to reach us. They carried my mom 1/4 mile down our road to the waiting ambulance over trees and through the mud.
Bonnie Cerezo and friends who stayed with me to keep me calm. Rick, Steven, and others who sawed and moved trees.
The EMT at Dodge's who offered to pay for our snacks at 3am.
Our work family and school family for praying for, and rallying around, us. We love you all so much!
My sister Lori Gallagher and my brother-in-law Patrick Gallagher for making the drive down here to take our mom back home with them where she can heal.
My husband, Nathan Harder . I cannot even explain the heroic measures he took last night to keep his family safe. From laying his body across us as the tornado picked up our house and moved it 30 feet. To rescuing my mom from her overturned camper by throwing her over his shoulder and climbing down a ladder with her. He is my hero.
I know there are many others I'm forgetting, but know that we appreciate each and every one of you.
The last 24 hours are a blur, but we are so grateful to be alive. ❤️
