Tim and Ellie Brubaker of Michigan have come to Joplin to help with tornado clean up. They plan to be with us until Thanksgiving and then return to Missouri after Christmas if they are still needed. They are currently working with the Joplin Disaster Relief Coordinator, Jamie Piper, to help with volunteer teams. Tim has become a master at keeping the skid loaders operating and useful as we continue to help land owners remove concrete foundations from their property before the December 31 deadline. They bring with their experiences from helping after Hurricane Katrina, the tornado in Greensburg Kansas, and other storms along the Gulf Coast. We would like to thank Tim and Ellie for time in Missouri and their openness to helping the survivors of the tornado.
