Fellow Humanists, I'm certain that you've heard the news regarding the disaster in Oklahoma. A tornado at least a half mile-wide with 200mph winds churned through Oklahoma City's suburbs Monday afternoon, killing at least 37 and causing significant property damage for the second day in a row, forcing rescue crews to search for survivors in the debris of flattened homes, businesses and two schools. Amy Elliott, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office, said the death toll is expected to rise. Oklahoma City Police say seven of those deaths were children at Plaza Towers Elementary School, which was hit by the tornado. The HFA is organizing a relief effort to assist the people devastated by this horrible storm. Please help us stand by those in need by making a generous donation. All donations are tax-deductible and greatly appreciated. You can donate online by clicking link below, or send a check to: HFA PO Box 14162 Tallahassee, FL 32317. Make sure to write OK City Relief in the memo line. |
