Please Pray…
Posted By Stacy McDonald on April 28, 2011
Please pray for LAF writer, Kelly Crawford, and author of Generation Cedar. She and her family lost their home, outbuildings, and vehicles in yesterday’s tornadoes. They (and 4 neighboring families) sought refuge in the Crawford’s basement. One of these families – a family with 13 children - lost their husband/father in the storm. Kelly’s husband pulled them out of the rubble; and at this point, I understand some are badly injured.
I am getting regular updates, but last I heard, rescue workers were not able to get to them. Please pray they get relief soon. Also, Kelly gave birth to a baby earlier this month, so please pray for an extra measure of grace and protection for her as she ministers to her family and neighbors.
Again, Kelly and her family are safe. Praise God He spared their lives. Please pray for provision and peace for all involved. And please remember the precious wife and 13 children who woke this morning without their husband and father, and without a place to live.
For those who are interested in donating to the Alabama Relief Fund, you can give through Providence Church. If you would like your donation to specifically help Kelly and her family, please be sure to specify that. Donate HERE
I will update you as I get new information.

Oh no! Will definitely be praying for all of them. Thank you for letting us know.
We dropped to our knees this morning in prayer.
Please let us know how we may help not only the Crawford’s, but the family who lost the Husband/Father. Our hearts go out to them. Our family would like to send them a gift.
I was wondering about Kelly & her family last night. Please keep us updated.

I’m sure there are other needs (towels, feminine supplies, toilet paper, blankets), so you may want to ask.
Will update you soon on donation opportunities.
Can’t send any supplies, but I can pray.. and I will! Kelly, we love you and are holding you and yours up in prayer♥
I would really like to donate some of the toiletries I have stockpiled since I can’t afford a cash donation. I also have some onezies that have never been worn. I am near Charlotte, NC. Where can I donate goods like these to see they get to people who could use them?
Thank you so much, but we’ve had word that they are completely overwhelmed with physical donations and have had to get a couple of containers to keep them all, as the families have nowhere to put all the supplies. This is a wonderful “problem” to have. Please keep up the prayers, and you might check to see if you can donate those items through the Salvation Army or Red Cross, which have donation centers set up all over the South for the storm victims. Thanks.
