The devastating tornadoes that ripped through Indiana and Kentucky last week have torn apart communities. They left many animals displaced from their owners and left others in need of supplies and medical attention.
As a result, the Ryan Newman Foundation will be taking donations to help those areas hit the hardest.
In light of this recent tragedy, the Ryan Newman Foundation is dedicated to working closely with area representatives of the Humane Society of the United States in order to get exactly what is needed to local organizations.
“It’s hard to believe that we are back in this situation and reaching out to the public for donations again,” said Ryan Newman Foundation vice president Krissie Newman. “It brings me back to the sadness of last year when tornadoes hit a number of states and left behind so many animals looking for their owners and in great need of help.
“I can’t begin to imagine what the families who lost loved-ones and everything they own are going through. Among the tragedy, many pets have lost their owners or are lost themselves and looking for comfort. We can use all the help we can get from NASCAR fans and pet lovers to raise money and collect donations for our mission.”
