Several of our Donors wanted to help the victims of the recent tornadoes in Oklahoma. My goal was to personally deliver a check to those in need rather than go through a charity and hope the funds reached their “optimum” use. It wasn’t easy finding the right situation but once again Our Heavenly Father ordered our steps. The money was distributed yesterday.
Our first donation of $1,000 went to a family who was in the path of the El Reno record-breaking tornado. They were located at about mile 16 of the path, just before it dissipated. Below is their house.
The Jameson Family has a massive cleanup job ahead:
The second family to receive a $1,000 check from Servias is the Hughes family. The actual tornado that struck their home was said to be an EF4 strength. Here they are standing on the slab of what used to be their home:
I appreciate those who wanted to help these people. I found out that the Red Cross would show up on the weekend to feed the cleanup volunteers then the family would bear the burden during the week. Volunteers had already been through this area and helped remove much of the debris although there was much more to be transported.
Both families were surprised and thankful for our help. They lost much of what they had accumulated throughout their lives and found out first hand what is truly important after a disaster… relationships!
