Kentucky Life: Help for 2012 tornado victims of Kentucky, Ohio & Indiana

 

Map from Local TV Station Fox19

 

If you aren't local to our area you may not  know about the devastating tornadoes that touched down in our Tri-State area including Kentucky, Ohio & Indiana (plus many other states).  I've never experienced something so close to home. I'm thankful for God's protection over friends of ours who live close and praying for those families who are dealing with the tragedy. 

There are so many stories of so many familes that need prayer and uplifting during this time. I'm thinking of a little toddler girl who was found in Indiana without her four other family members. She is the sole survivor and still in intensive care. Please keep her in your prayers. 

Psalms 10:14 

¹⁴ But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; 
   you consider their grief and take it in hand. 
The victims commit themselves to you; 
   you are the helper of the fatherless.

Revalation 21:5 ⁵ He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

For those of you who do live here and are looking for a compilation of ways you can help. I hope to have gathered as much information for you as possible. Please feel free to add anything to the comments section. Monday is a big volunteer day for many churches and organizations. 

As always, please be cautious and follow up on any organizations asking for money.
