HELP WAVERLY FOOTBALL

[Redheadstepkid]

We need to brainstorm statewide to help Waverly Football. They were devastated by flooding. The football team lost about everything. They are hoping pads and helmets are spared but can’t get in to know. Uniforms, cleats, mowers, etc. are not spared. They are hoping the helmets and pads were on top of lockers. I only have an address to send a letter USPS to the Titans. That would take days. These kids want to play Friday. Sometimes kids need a TEAM more than we know. Asking for help. Thank you!!

Football may be the furthest thing from some of these peoples minds, but then again how many times have seen situations like this where the community needs something to rally around.  Many times it is sports and in small areas high school sports can really help to heal.  

 

We need to keep praying for the whole area there and hopefully Waverly football can go on strong.

Two good posts. I agree that the kids deserve to play asap and that the community would rally around them. 

What can we do to help?  Is someone going to start a fund?

45 made federal funds available when the tornado came through and came down to tour the damage. This is a greater loss of life and destruction. Lets hope 46 does the same.

As of now there doesn't appear to be a gofundme set up that is for football. If/when it does could someone post it.

You can also go to first banks throughout the state and donate, just thought I’d throw it out there if that’s easier for some.

46 told the Governor to get a disaster relief request to him as soon as possible. Gov Lee is getting that together last I heard. Hopefully it moves quickly for the residents of the area.
