The Poarch Band of Creek Indians is donating $184,000 to take care of burial expenses for all of the Alabama tornado victims
That's proving true once again, this time in southeastern Alabama, where residents are still reeling from an outbreak of tornadoes that killed 23 people this week.But their loved ones won't have to worry, at least, about the costs of the funerals. A Native American tribe says it will cover the funeral and burial expenses for all the victims of Sunday's tornadoes.
The money will be donated to the East Alabama Medical Center Foundation so that none of the money is spent on administration costs."It is at times of greatest need that we often see our communities coming together to help one another, this is one of those times," Stephanie A. Bryan, the tribe's CEO, said in a Facebook post."Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those affected.
