Albums for Joplin spread awareness and hope!

I can't honestly say that I don't know someone in Joplin, Missouri, I do. Two people matter of fact...I am a lucky one...the two people that I know made it through the tornado on May 22, 2011 without incident from what I have been told. However, there are thousands of people who didn't get to be so lucky. People have lost their homes, businesses, family and friends. Buildings and businesses can be rebuilt, lives lost can't be replaced. But if you are like me, you are probably saying...what can I do?

I know of two CDs that you can download for free, I have both albums. The album "Songs for #Joplin" started as an idea to help a tragedy-stricken town and quickly became a charity that people were talking about. With acts like Derek Webb, Waterdeep, Sara Swenson and Oil Boom this charity album gained social media attention from all over the country… before it was released. With your help, Songs for #Joplin can be a success and a major blessing to Joplin, MO. Background on "Hope...for Joplin": On Sunday, May 22, 2011, the worst tornado in recorded American history destroyed the town of Joplin, MO, claiming the lives of untold numbers of innocent victims. In the following days, a group of musicians, united in compassion, came together to create an album of HOPE for the people of Joplin. Their music is simply the means to an end; the end of the suffering of the people of Joplin. This is a way to provide HOPE in a seemingly hopeless situation. To show mercy and provide justice in a place that needs it most. By downloading this album and donating money for it, you are helping rebuild Joplin. 100% of the proceeds from this album go to the Salvation Army and the rebuilding of Joplin, MO. So whether you can give $1, or $100, know that you are making a difference in the lives of others.

Check out both links and please do what you can to bless the people of Joplin, not only with your money, but also with your prayers and if you haven't planned a vacation, maybe you and your family can go out and help them clean up so that we can rebuild Joplin.
