Those in Memphis were able to see my parents neighborhood tonight on WMC-TV. I cannot thank Lauren Squires enough for covering the damage in my hometown. You are doing such a great job sharing the experience in Moore with those in the Mid-South.
When the news video is available, I will share it on my blog. In the meantime, please check out Lauren's article here: http://www.wmctv.com/story/22401820/moore-victim-from-mid-south-lives-near-leveled-homes-flipped-cars.
In the article, Lauren mentions that my mom is a retired Moore Public Schools teacher. I was also highly impacted by this amazing school district when I attended kindergarten through twelfth grade there. The teachers in Moore made a huge difference in my life and now the district needs your help.
If you would like to give, please send a check to the address below. Soon, there will be information about how to donate online. When it is available, I will post it here.
Update: You can now make a donation online. Click here to donate via credit card on the First American Bank site. It's easy and takes less than 5 minutes!
