Relief for families affected by Tennessee tornado

Donation protected

I am Dusti Smith Stoneman from Savannah, Georgia and I started this to Eric & Julie Grooms , along with Letty, their 6 year old daughter, and Marsha, Julie's mother, were in their house huddled together in a closet when a tornado took the entire home from around them early in the morning of March 3, 2020 leaving only them sitting on floor where the closet was.

Eric and Julie are my brother and sister in law and Marsha is my mother in law. 

Marsha ended up with a compression fracture in her lower back and Eric, Julie, and Letty had minor injuries.

Many of their neighbors also lost their homes and there were fatalities as well.  Six on their street alone.  

We are overwhelmed with the outpouring of support from so many people wanting to help but at this point we are simply not sure what specific help is needed.  

 

Eric and Julie want to be sure to let everyone know that they will be sharing this financial support you give with their neighbors who may not be as fortunate. 

This will be used to fund temporary home/hotel stays, groceries, supplies, clothing, toiletries, and any other unforeseen immediate needs.    

 

All donations will be sent directly to Eric and Julie.
