Devastation in Oklahoma

By now you have heard about the disaster in a small town called, "Moore, Oklahoma". A city with about 56,000 residents has been declared a disaster zone. Media has stated that without the technology that we have today there may have been more deaths. As of right now it has been confirmed that there has been 271 injuries, 24 deaths, with 9 of the deaths being children. This is the time that we need to come together and help one another. If you would like to help out the victims in Oklahoma then please follow the links below. I have taken the time out to find some of the agencies that are accepting donations and/or need volunteers.
