With DawgStudent's blessing:
A few days after the long track supercell that produced the tornadoes that affected Rolling Fork and so many areas in MS, another poster on here (he may say who he is or remain anonymous) DM'ed me regarding setting up a fundraiser to gather emergency response supplies for members of my chase team to carry when we are out. It was a gut wrenching feeling hearing the first responders there yelling if anybody had supplies as thru were either out or never had them as we all tried to do what we could until more help arrived. The injuries I saw there to small children were more than I can think about. So out of his DM this came about.
I made it clear to the poster and DawgStudent I did not want to receive any money. I wanted this completely above board with no hint of me or my team trying to do anything underhanded. The Amazon gift registry was what was proposed where those that want to can purchase items on the list and they are shipped to me. I will then divide those items up among our most active chasers for them to carry when out. What I am asking for are supplies most often used on mass casualty events such as this.
As I told the person who mentioned this to me, I hate asking people to spend their money. I know how things are tight for a lot of people. But if any of you feel compelled to help I assure you this will only be used to help render aid in storm damaged areas. We're not stocking a personal medical stash for ourselves. So with that, the link is below and thank you.
