Joplin Missouri Disaster Relief
Posted: 05-22-2011, 11:01 PM

Earlier this evening Joplin, Missouri was rocked with a devasting tornado. At this point the news is reporting 24 dead. To get an idea of the extent of the damage, look at the video below:

This was my home for 3.5 years. I have many friends and family that have lost everything. I am taking up donations through this website to help with this horrible disaster. I will match dollar for dollar what anyone donates. I will be donating the money to my former church, Christ's Church of Joplin. It is a non-denominational church.

Donate Now - Joplin Missouri Disaster Relief

I am personally asking for everyone's assistance. I don't generally post personal requests here, but this means a lot to me as it strikes right at home.

I've personally done a lot on this website and devoted hundreds of hours of my time over the past few years to help each of you in this great career of ours. I am asking in return you help me out by donating what you can.

Thank you,

Adam

Adam i'm about to leave for work, but i'll donate when I get off tonight. I'm a Missouri boy and been to Joplin dozens of times. I'm going to be driving past Joplin on I-44 on Thursday and I'm not quite sure what i'll see. That is where I typically fueled up. Hope everyone you know is safe.

So far I have raised $185.00...I am matching any donation I receive for the relief efforts in Joplin. Any amount would help. You can either follow this link, it's a special donation link I set up for the relief effort.

You can also send a donation to stuckmicpay@gmail.com. Just note the payment is for relief disastwr.
