Facebook friends, family and colleagues…
As many of you know, I was born and raised in Oklahoma, a state with a ‘can-do’ attitude, even in the worst of times.
I am incredibly proud of my state, and the way people help one another in times of need. The citizens of my beautiful state have sprung into action, after yet another terrible Category 5 Tornado devastated the city of Moore yesterday, and other parts of southern Oklahoma City. Moore was wiped out in 1999 by a Category 5 Tornado and has since re-built with a can-do attitude.
Yesterday, The University of Oklahoma in Norman opened its doors to those who were left homeless… an example of the beautiful, supportive human spirit.
Three of my children live in Oklahoma, and they said it is over-whelming and sad to see the destruction. Oklahoma has known many tragedies, including the terrible bomb in downtown that set the entire nation on alert.
They need our help. Schools have been hit, homes wiped out, families left without food and clothing.
You CAN make a difference by donating to the Oklahoma Food Bank and the Red Cross diaster relief fund. The instructions are below. I just did, and it is super easy… Thank heavens for social media during these times.
After you follow the prompts on your phone, it will ask you for a reply. It is case sensitive, so use capital letters where shown. The $10 donation will appear on your cell phone bill.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart and those strong Oklahoma hearts that believe in the power of the human spirit.
Please share this message through your social media contacts… let’s make a difference!
With deep love, Adelle
