The City Of Joplin, Missouri

Joplin is situated close to the city of Springfield. It is a small town yet it boasts of a University and a slew of malls. We are roughly two hours away from it.
The effects of the tornado was just overwhelming. The pictures and videos just do not show the pain and the angst. Maraming mga Pinoy dito. Many of them are healthcare providers just like me.
I called May last Sunday to find out their condition. They live in the Northside - the spared one. Unfortunately, marami silang mga Pinoy sa Southside. That is where the damage was extensive. May and Caloy's home served as a temporary shelter that night for those that needed one.
Isang kapwa Pinay ang naging statistic ng tornado. She was trying to save both herself and her baby. Her baby survived.
We request for prayers. Kailangan din namin ito pero mas kailangan ng mga taga- Joplin. Dios itti Agngina kanya da amin.
