Sad news from one of our members

[k98nights]

My prayers go out to you Homedaycare... I made it through the tornadoes last night myself here in NE Alabama. So far we've found 9 fatal victims right here in my county with more missing. Entire communities here were literally turned to toothpicks.

[chuckray]

worst tornadoes that i remember--and now the floods coming along the Mississipi river--predicted to be the worst ever

Many prayers to the families who have suffered so much loss,

We have also given prayers of thanks giving as I was in north west mississippi yesterday and was missed by a close margin

[BanG]

excellent idea Bang, I will try to find out if they may have an account for the family set up somewhere and communicate those findings. That would probably be the most effective way to help on this level.

thanks to you as well Bodeen for your loving offer.

I'd imagine a transfer could be arranged on line for this kind of thing. Let me do some research and get back.

pvS

Sure can we can use paypal to make an instant monetary transfer to their bank account. No problem just fill me in on the details and you and I can set this up. Peace.

[GaJanie]

Alabama is my home. I'm headed over there tomorrow. Family is all OK, but many friends of family are hurt or dead. The stories coming out of there are horrific. Many people still missing. Emergency services stretched too thin.

[rsskelton]

Homedaycare,

I do not know where you are located in Alabama. I'm just south of B'ham and have been assisting with search and rescue in NE Alabama all day. I have seen what you have been through first hand all day today. My heart breaks for you. I want you to know that I have already been praying for you and your family and am deeply saddened for your loss. As I said earlier, I don't know where you are but if I can do anything for you; If you need ANYTHING, go to my page, leave me a message, and I will do my best to get it to you. Travel is not a problem. I will come to you. Just let me know. God bless.

WOW.......

[deenar]

Praying now. I will bring this to our prayer group tonight.

[MovieMaker]

Praying for Blessings to come your way Homedaycare. Praying for your faith to carry you through and comfort you at this time.

[imgesing]

Puts into perspective what matters most.

I pray for all of us to realize how precious life is...

Peace and my best to the family and those affected.

I have read all of your very kind and gracious responses, I can say without a doubt they will help ease some of pain "homedaycare" and her family are going through, and please know that each one of your kind responses will make a difference to them.

I did read where members where talking about taking up donations, that is an amazing offer, but to be honest I'm not for sure that is something she would want. My understanding is that food, fuel and water are going to be the shortage so many stores and restaurants are just gone. I went and spoke with the US post office to day to see if I could send a care package, and they said I could but nothing could be shipped next day or 2 day because of the damage in the area, but I could send a package.

*** I'm sorry k98nights I totally forgot that is where you live, I'm so glad you and your family are okay, that is a blessing. I was going to try and check in with Bama69 to see if him and his family were okay, but I haven't found anything out yet.

[dinarella-X]

My thoughts and prayers go out to this family and to anyone affected by the storms. God bless.

[HYDRANT]

IF THEIR IS ANYTHING NEEDED JUST CONTACT ME I WILL BE GLAD TO HELP IN ANYWAY I CAN

[zul]

My prayers for 'homedaycare' and family.... stay strong.

Bama69 and family are ok. They were not in the path of it.

Me too........... Awesome BanG

Thoughts and prayers go out to all of those affected by the storms...I can not even imagine the loss they are faced with.

Just a thought...I wonder if Adam would be able to be a "conduit" for a fund raising for our DV friends? Would make it very easy for our memebers to donate.

[thunderrb]

This was a horrible disaster felt by all. May God bless all who was affected by these storms. May he hold the departed in his arms for all eternity. May he give strength and hope to those who have to rebuild and go on...

[Sonnet]

My God, our Father come to you with a Father's heart and hold you in His arms . . . it is the only safe place.

[KCT]

Thoughts and prayers go out to all those who have lost loved ones. I live in Tuscaloosa and thankfully our home was not hit this time. A smaller tornado hit our neighborhood two weeks ago, but that was nothing compared to what others here are facing now. Our town has lost 36 lives but the number is likely to go much higher when they switch from rescue to recovery. The president is touring the devastation in Tuscaloosa as I type. I am about to go help get one of our empty buildings cleaned up to house one of our schools that was destroyed. We lost three schools in all. The red cross has been a great help, and the United Way is accepting donations of any kind. Hundreds if not thousands of homes were destroyed. The survivors of the destruction are in need of anything you can send. Thank you PVS for this thread and shedding light to the need for prayers not only for homedaycare, one of our members, but also to so many in our state who are suffering.

[homedaycare]

I want to thank everyone for all the posts. Thank you so much for the prayers and thoughts. Words are not coming easy for me right now, but i wanted to let you know how much this thread has touched me. God Bless you all. Thank you all, homedaycare AKA hotmama AKA KATHY
