Hi, my name is William Way. My sister Natalie and her family had a devastating experience on the night of 5/21. During a severe thunderstorm, a 100-foot tall cottonwood tree crashed through their house, making the house completely unlivable. They are not able to go inside the house due to the damage, and authorities will not allow them to enter due to fear of total collapse.

I am reluctantly asking for the community's help in this time of need. They have 2 children, ages 11 and 13, both boys. They only have the clothes on their backs at the moment while waiting on insurance and the Red Cross to provide shelter and necessities. Their entire life has been abruptly upended and desperately need anything they can get at the moment. Natalie is a vet tech and her husband is a union Laborer, both work long hours and are unable to at this time to keep the bills paid

Any help is greatly appreciated and I can’t tell you what this community means to them. They have lived in their house for 14 yrs. Natalie is a lifelong resident in parkville and in the neighborhood they reside, again from the bottom of our hearts Thank you for your support from our family to yours

. William Way.
