Many groups are organizing fund-raising efforts to help the victims of the horrific tornado last week that hit Joplin, Mo., where the death toll has climbed to 132 people, with scores of others injured, some seriously.
Damage is expected to be in the billions of dollars and clean up and recovery is going to take months. President Obama is scheduled to visit with victims and see the devastation for himself tomorrow.
