Allison Schmidt, a nursing student at Southwestern College (Winfield, KS) , is one of the hundreds affected by Friday night’s tornado in Greensburg . The home of Ali and her family was destroyed and they lost all their possessions—clothes, pets, cars, and personal items were demolished. Abbey Lowry, a classmate and close friend of Ali, is coordinating efforts at Southwestern and in Winfield to help the family. At this point, the most crucial need is for money to replace personal items (the family rented the home and did not have renters’ insurance) and cars. Abby has established a bank account for donations. Those who wish to contribute should send their checks to the Emerald Bank in Oxford--

Hi, Joni.
I just wanted you to know that I'm still thinking about you and all those impacted by this. I'm still praying.
I've posted a link to your blog for people looking for info. I've also posted the Red Cross site. They have a website where you can see if your family or friends have registered online as well and safe.
Love and prayers.
Laurie
