I live in St. Louis, and 3 weeks ago on May 16, 2025, a tornado touched down and decimated parts of Forest Park and neighborhoods north that were already poor and struggling due to the old red-lining practices where people of color’s beautiful homes were purposely devalued, and where home improvement loans were never approved. So many, many homes, many square miles, deteriorated, so when the tornado blasted through, those old brick homes didn’t stand a chance. This was devastating for so many, many people.

If any readers wish to donate money to help with the rebuilding efforts here’s a link to the St. Louis Community Foundation: https://stlgives.org/resources/

On Friday, May 16, a severe storm impacted the city of St. Louis. It took the lives of 5 individuals, injured many others, and over 5,000 homes in the region were affected. We are holding everyone impacted in our hearts and are committed to directly connecting our donors to the organizations currently on the ground in our community.
