The tornado that struck Joplin, MO has been ranked as the deadliest to hit the United States since 1950. At this point more than 100 people were killed and survivors are still being dug out of the rubble. As many of you know I live in Joplin and this is just devastating to see my town leveled. It will take years to rebuild and we’re going to need some help both in manpower and in money.
So if you’ve ever visited this website I’m asking you to donate $10 or more to the Red Cross relief efforts. On a good day I can have 10, 000 unique visitors and if everyone of those people donated $10 we could raise $100,000 from the Crawlspace alone. So click on this link to donate to the Red Cross.
If you would like to text a donation here are the numbers.
American Red Cross: Text “REDCROSS” to 90999
Salvation Army: Text “JOPLIN” to 80888
United Way: Text “JOPLIN” to 864833
If you would like to see some amazing pictures of Joplin before and after check out this link. Thankfully my family and house were not affected. However, we were a mile away from the destruction. So we are so fortunate, but there are countless others who weren’t. So please lets pull together on this one. Also feel free to use social media like Facebook to spread the word about donating to the cause. Also once you donate please leave a comment below.

I’m just now reading this becaue I was on vacation, I did not realize you were from Joplin Brad, I’m so happy you and your family are okay. We are actually collecting money at my work to donate to help so I will be contributing in that way.
I was worried about you and your family Brad after hearing the news. I recently was able to get back on-line and this was my first stop to find out if you and yours were okay. I am happy to see this post from you. Donated.

Any other donations? If everyone donated $10 we’re up to $160. I’m going to unsticky this poster later tonight but I wanted to give another push to raise some money for a good cause.
Horrifying pictures. My family is praying for those who have suffered through this disaster.
