This Time It Was Worse...and How You Can Help

I haven't had internet until now.  I noticed that Neil posted on his blog about  everything.  This past Wednesday was just an amazingly devastating day.  The emotions are so mixed, I am glad for Roxie and I that it went north of us-but on the other hand knowing the devastation I just wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Amy and Michael are ok.  They don't have cars anymore, but we have them and won't lose sight of that.  Brian Waters (friend of the family) has trees down in his yard and everyone I work with is accounted for.  We are all truly blessed.

I went to a Prayer Service at church Thursday night and cried with my friend Frances Ann-we were told of ways we can help.  I notified Bro. Stanley in Elba about the things that were being requested for donation.  And today I will pick up anything that has been donated.  Mom has decided that she wants to spend Mother's Day next weekend with me in Tuscaloosa volunteering.  I think we all just need to feel like we are helping in some way.

Items Needed:
Water, Unopened Baby Items, Gently Used Clothing, Housing Utensils, and due to 2 schools being severely damaged: pens, pencils, highlighters, copy paper, notebook paper, and any other schools supplies you can think of.  Monetary donations are always accepted-you can make the check out to FUMCT (First United Methodist Church of Tuscaloosa). 

I am picking up from the Methodist Church today in Elba and Mom will Thursday before heading up to Tuscaloosa.  Thank you for your continued prayers!
