If you can't, just come at that time. We are working in a very poor neighborhood in Springfield which was hard hit by the tornado, and has received practically no assistance, unlike the wealthier neighborhoods, where volunteers have been flooding in. Our neighbors in Springfield need our help from all our family of Western Mass communities. Last Sunday, Deacon Creswell, although on disability due to a stroke, and although he is not supposed to lift anything heavy, has moved 33 families in 2 days. He got involved when he went down to the Six corners neighborhood (which was very hard hit) to see the damage. He saw a woman with her two children outside her ruined house with her belongings, crying because she had no money to pay for a van or any way to move her things. Since then, he has been working nonstop with no help. When I talked to him last, he had spent $1000 of his own money to do things like put a 90 year old woman's belongings into storage whose house was destroyed. He has spent his mortgage money for this month to help people. We are asking for donations to his church to help defray the costs of the rescue efforts. What are needed right now: • People to volunteer to help families move. •Trucks and vans to help families move their belongings. •Donations of $5, $10, $20 to Deacon Creswell's church to help pay for the expenses incurred for their rescue efforts; gas, storage for people's things in some cases. Defray expenses. (See below) •Note: We will be unable to help with trees and chainsaw work, as this work is too dangerous for volunteers, and the liability is too great.
