Neighboring realtors are collecting necessities for those left without homes after a twister leveled Sunday about a third of Joplin, Mo., counting one hospital and two schools.
Bonnie Baker, landlord of Real Estate Essentials in Broken Arrow, is setting out for the twister-turned town at 4 p.m. Tuesday with three trucks of provisions. She's also set a blood make with the American Red Cross from 8 a.m. to noon June 2.
Baker, who owns Oklahoma's only real estate deliver store, said she's using her associations with about 4,000 realtors in the Tulsa area to help accumulate donations. Joplin officials have said the tornado - the fourth deadliest since the National Weather Service started together with in 1950 - has killed at least 89 people.
Baker said the exhausted real estate market inspired her to help. She and extra realtors are collecting toiletries, water bottles, pre-packaged snacks, blankets, shoes and diapers.
