Donate to the St. Louis Tornado Relief Effort

EMERGENCY APPEAL:

“Unity Begins Within – In the Eye of the Storm, We Stand Together”

On Friday, May 16, 2025, an EF3 tornado tore through St. Louis City, leaving behind unimaginable devastation. Lives were lost. Homes were leveled. Families have been displaced, and entire blocks are without electricity, internet, or basic necessities.

Better Family Life, Inc. is on the ground—working in the “Eye of the Storm”—bringing urgent relief to our neighbors who need us most.

Now more than ever, Unity Begins Within. When we act with compassion, when we give from the heart, when we show up for one another—we become the strength our community needs to heal and rebuild.

We are calling on our community, partners, and compassionate supporters to help us respond to this crisis. Your monetary and in-kind donations will go directly to the families impacted by this disaster. Every item donated and every dollar given brings hope, restores dignity, and helps someone take the first step toward recovery.
