Oklahoma Tornado victims are living their worse nightmare right now. Over 51 confirmed dead after a tornado, at least an EF4 tormented south of Oklahoma City, OK – primarily hitting Moore, OK.  An elementary school took a direct hit. Rescuers are searching for bodies.

No matter what channel you turn on, it’s horrific. Story upon stories of loss and sheer horror. At times like this, I ask WHY GOD?

While we will never know why, what we can know is how to help.

Give to HopeMob

Via Twitter #PrayforOK I came across HopeMob an Convoy of Hope.

Our plan is simple. We’re partnering with Convoy of Hope and are going go raise $20,000 in 7 days. Why 7 days? In these first 7 days the town of Moore, OK will be consumed with clearing out destruction and accessing their needs. Once those needs are known we want to be able to give them the funds to help them rebuild in the long term.

Give Blood

If you are in Oklahoma, contact the Oklahoma Blood Institute for more information.

Dallas and Texas residents, while I am not sure they are specifically helping the Oklahoma tornado victims, there is ALWAYS a need for blood – visit Carter Bloodcare for more information.

Give to World Vision

While World Vision does amazing work overseas – they also respond here on our home turf. They have crews out to help tornado victims.

Learn how you can donate to World Vision’s disaster response in the U.S..

Pray

No money, no problem – just pray. There are lives changed forever by this force of nature. Pray for those who are hurt, those who are helping, those who are lost, those who are grieving and those who are no longer with us.
