As many of you know, there was a terrible storm that almost completely wiped out the city of Joplin, Missouri on sunday evening. 
Around 75% of the city of around 50,000 was damaged or completely destroyed.  As you can imagine, that is a ton of damage and a pretty big storm. 
Hundreds of people are still missing and it will take months to clean up.  These people need any help they can get.  The hospitals were even destroyed (including the one I was born in).

They dont really want people there quite yet to start rebuilding but a simple donation can go a long way. 

You can text "REDCROSS" to 90999 to make a $10 donation, or just go to their website, http://american.redcross.org/site/Donation2?idb=2026912792&df_id=4993&4993.donation=form1

I will be out there volunteering in a few weeks and I will let anyone who is interested in helping too know how to do so. 


Thanks guys.
