Help Americans Affected by December Tornadoes
Last weekend Americans across the country watched as an outbreak of deadly tornadoes swept through central and southern parts of the U.S. Dozens of twisters were reported across at least six states — Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi and Tennessee — leaving death and destruction in their wake.
Dark times like this are when the American spirit is needed most. Pain and suffering are apolitical and rebuilding will require the help of Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and every American who is willing and able to lend a hand.
Here are some ways you can help:
