The death toll is at 122 victims and there are over 700 with injuries. There are still over 1,500 people unaccounted for.
Times like these, we feel helpless. We don’t know what to do. We wish we could be there to help. Our hearts go out to the victims of the Joplin, Missouri tornado.
We are going to do what we do best: Blog and use Social Media.

What a great post and an amazing thing you are doing. Wish I had some leads for you!
This? Is wonderful. And important. Good for you! I'll start racking my brain!
Great cause! No leads here. What wonderful thing this group is doing for the victims of the tornados.
Good luck, every little helps. I was impressed to have received a package from fedex in Joplin this week, it made me feel very humbled.
Just sent an email, my blog has ad space available!
What a great cause! So much devastation around the US these days. It's horrible.
There are so many wonderful people out there doing what they can to raise money for Joplin, to help out. We live an hour south of that city, and I used to go right through it on my way home from college. Even though I've never lived there, I still feel like it's “mine”. There are lots of families here in Arkansas that have families and friends who live up there, and I know that they appreciate everything that everyone is doing. Thanks for putting this out there, and hope you have wonderful success!
KLZ have you checked with Eden Fantasies? Tiny Prints? I bet both would do this. I can help throw the word out to my contacts if you'd like. I know you work with Eden Fantasies, but some of the other bloggers might now.
Off to help you spread the word on The Twitter now!
You guys are amazing
I love this!
Add me to the list! I'll throw in 2 spots! $25 each.
You guys are awesome…this is a great thing you're doing.
So sad, and so scary…
What a fantastic idea! My sister is in Missouri and her husband's entire family lives in Joplin. In fact, his sister's home got completely destroyed. Fortunately, everyone is alive. I'm sending the link to her right now. I'm sure she knows several businesses who would be interested.
Excellent idea! I am a blogger at http://www.anidolheart.com. I am actually from Joplin, Missouri but live in Nashville now. Just sent my email. I want in!
This is awesome!!!
What a fabulous thing you are doing!
We had a tornado come through here a few weeks ago- not the damage that Joplin had, but there are families w/o homes. Been working on local fundraising, but I tweeted this!
Oh wow, I'd love to be added to the list!
I just bogged earlier abt a week of silence for Joplin.
Please visit to see details at http://www.flipflopsandpearls.com
and if could, please retweet! I'd love to have all my my blogger friends in prayer for at ;east 24 hrs. I'm taking off the entire week.
(((HUGS))) and prayers to everyone. My heart breaks and thoughts are with you all.
Tornadoes are so freaking scary. I miss the thunderstorms of the midwest, but not the tornadoes.
Great cause.
Great idea!
This makes me wish I had better contacts. I too have friends who lost everything but their lives in Joplin.
I've made a donation and will keep you and this cause in mind today.
You are all so amazing. I love you. Thank you for doing this. If I had any clue about ad space/advertising any of that? I'd be all about it, too.
LOVE YOU! xoxoxox
I'm with Erin…Don't know if anyone would advertise with me, or what I'd even do if someone did. So I'll just do what I do best and be a loudmouth and spread the word?
Fantastic idea, lady. I'm going to post this on my moms' board and see if any of the ones with businesses would be willing to take you up on this.
Awesome idea. So proud of you for getting this going. If I can think of any leads, I'll let you know. xoxoxox
I don't know how much it will help, but I linked to this in my most recent post that will go up at 7 in the a.m.
You ladies are incredible. Just incredible.
Oh, and I have missed you!
Let me know if I can do anything to help. I know my offer is coming a little late, but if I can I will.
