My name is Mackenzie Allen, I am currently in Florida for a summer internship with Paradise News in St. Petersburg. Last night (May 22nd) my hometown, Jefferson City, Missouri, was hit by a massive tornado and left severely damaged. Historical landmarks, businesses , schools, and many homes were destroyed during this storm. While it is very hard for me not to be with my family and friends right now, I want to do as much as I can while I’m away to help the city with this tragedy. It is the place I grew up and from which I have so many memories. I am asking, as a current resident of Florida, for help for my hometown. Jefferson City needs any and all support you can give in this time of need. Thank you for taking your time to read this, I hope it inspires you to help the city.
