I want to personally say THANK YOU Doug Rucker, Tony Shelton, Kory Finley & Guy Blackmon for the donations you have giving to the tornado victims of Moore, Oklahoma.

With your help we were able to buy 2 pallets of water (120 cases) that we deliveried eralier today. This water was giving to the victims that lived in the Plaza Towers neighborhood.

Also your donations that were giving allowed us to reach out to a daycare teacher that saved the lives of several babies by using her body as a human shield. She was willing to give her life so others could survive. As the tornado ripped through Moore it leveled a daycare. It was feeding time for all the toddlers and babies. When the tornado ripped off the roof it sucked up a baby. Not knowing at first how close to home it was, the baby belonged to a women that my wife and I have recently had dinner with (Andrea Baird). The teacher reacted and grabbed the baby holding on to her by only her leg as she laid on top on other kids. The teacher and the 6 kids survived. The teacher lost her home, car, job and all her personal belongings, but that was nothing compared to the brave actions that allowed her to hand off the babies to their families. That is a true HERO in my book.

So again Doug, Tony, Kory & Guy THANK YOU. What you have done is bring hope back to a city that lost so much. This is the reason I love the industry I am in. It's people like you and orgs like the UAMCC that truly make a difference in peoples lives.

Below are a few photos of what is left of the daycare and a picture of the water after we dropped it off.

Well said and I'd like to add that hero's come in many forms including those that reach out to help others in a time of need. Doug, Tony, Kory & Guy are hero's in my book as well.

Bryan your a real man and getting in gear to help shows it.
 
Some people run from danger others will turn a blind eye as if it is not their problem.Bryan thank you for being the type of person to face the hardship and get in there to dig people out. Events like this are dangerous, nails, electricity, fire, gas, distressed people and animals. I am happy to see humanity in this day and age. Bryan please pm me your address I have some gift cards I would like to send you for that teacher( do you have Marshals or tjmaxx there. I have left over Xmas gift cards). Also let us know of any "needs" that you see. I am sure the goberment will be there to help soon but a lot of times they fall very short. Charities are a waste in my opinion I would rather send money to Bryan as I know every dollar will go to someone that really needs it.

Thank you Bryan!
 
Awesome job to everyone. Especially Bryan for all he is doing. Your a true hero in my book!!!

Bryan, is there a link or an address that we could use to help out? PM me your address if you want. Thanks!
 
Thank you all for the kind words. I dont do this to be called a hero. I do this because I love my City and the people in it. We have had to over come many disaters from bombings to not just one record breaking tornado but now 2. The May 3, 1999 tornado did over a billion dollars in damage and this one over 2 billion. Although I and my family was spared from both I knew many families personally that lost everything including lives. May 3, 1999 is the reason we now have EF ratings on the fijita scale.

Oklahomans are not proud, self-centered or greedy people! We are STRONG, LOVING and GIVING. We will give our shirt off our back and freeze so you don,t have too. We are born this way. It's in our blood. This is Gods country and we take pride in being an Oklahoman. With that said we don't like calling for help, but we know we can't do this alone. What you guys have done for these people we don't take for granted, we remember it daily so we can pay it foward. Trust me when I say that God knows that you have stepped up in a time of need and he has promised that it will be giving back. God will truly bless you all. You might not see it now, but my God is a loving and truthful God. He always fulfills his promises.

Kory and Larry I will PM my address to you.

What I can tell you as of now we have raised a little over $1000. $300 of it was spent buying water to take down for victims and workers. The other $700 will be giving to the teacher that risked her live to save childern that was in her care. Any other donations received will be giving to another family. The reason I sat this up is I know its going to take weeks if not months for these familes to receive help from Red Cross, Salvation Army, FEMA and any other charity that is help. There will be alot of red tape they will have to go through to receive any help. We can affect them now when they really need it.

We have joined forces with other PWers here and we are donating our services free of charge with washing Churches that were affected in the area. Again THANK YOU all and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Oklahoma THANKS YOU.
 
If anyone else would like to make a donation we are taking CCs with square. We will email or txt a receipt with "Donation for Moore, Ok tornado victims. You can PM me your info. I will delete it once it is recieved.

Thanks again everyone!!!!!!
 
Got your PM Bryan. Thanks!
 
This is great!! Thank you Bryan for what you are doing. it is the little thing that count, and now is when the people need help, not 2 months from now!! I sent you my info as well. God Bless you!!
 
THANK YOU Eric Seitz and Jay Riser for your donation. You are right Jay about the little things, but it's people like all of you here that make the little things into big ones. We have been very busy in Moore the last few days. I will post more pictures of what we are doing with the families we are helping. We will be back in that area tomorrow washing house for the ones that are covered in debris. Saturday we are doing the Southgate Baptist Church. We are donating all of our services to the any Church that was affected by Mondays Disater.

Again THANK YOU all. I know I say thank you a lot, but what you guys have stepped up and helped so much that I can't express it enough.
