Our hearts are with Joplin by Cris Richardson

The tornado that demolished Joplin and left the majority of its population both grief and poverty stricken was the worst natural disaster the U.S had experienced since the tragedy of hurricane Katrina. Even a hardened reporter was brought to tears by the heart wrenching event. In times like this when a community is stripped of almost everything they held dear what's needed most is kindness and humanity. The storm was reviewed and broadcasted across the nation and as such there shouldn't be anyone not informed. The people may know but most won't go out of their way to help unless it was made convenient enough. I propose a paypal account be made to help fund Joplin reconstruction and aid the survivors. Perhaps we can donate to United Way or the Red Cross. Maybe we could even adopt a family.
