It’s been just over 3 weeks since the tornados changed life as we know it for so many Miami Valley residents. Each week the needs are changing and ultimately the biggest need is for funding to help those displaced from their homes, repair or replace their vehicles so they can get to work, for those that still have jobs. Many people still aren’t sure what the future holds, meeting with insurance agents and filing claims with FEMA. What we do know is there is much to do and many ways you can help. We’ll keep updating this twice a week. Thanks for caring. #DaytonStrong
