NWU COLLECTION FOR ALABAMA TORNADO VICTIMS
As all of you know, recently a killer tornado ripped through a number of southern states leaving a trail of many dead and injured. Property damage is in the hundreds of millions as many homes and public buildings were destroyed.
NWU At-Large Chapter Chair James Sandefur III lives in Alabama and reports finding debris in his backyard from 4 counties away! James is fine but his mother and two sisters and their families are among the 300,000 who will be without power for weeks. He and other relatives are taking food, water, gasoline and clean clothes to his mother and sisters and whoever else needs assistance.
He says that FEMA still hasn't allowed many property owners to visit their damaged sites, and the body count increases each day as bodies are found in fields, ditches and creeks, some blown from one county to another. Communication has been affected as both cell phone towers and regular landlines were destroyed.
The NWU is taking up a collection from our members to assist James' family through this difficult period. The money will go to provide food, water, clothing and personal hygiene products as the power slowly gets back up and the clean up and rebuilding starts anew. Those in need really appreciate your help a great deal.
Latoshia Tennison is providing medical assistance and helping to distribute aid to family and friends. Send your donations to: Latoshia M. Tennison, 20903 Juniper PVT Circle, Suite I-7 Athens, Alabama 35611
The NWU and the Sandefur family thanks you.
