December 2021 Tornadoes

On  December 10/11, 2021, a line of severe weather impacted 6 states in the Central US, and also spurred a devastating amount of tornadoes, leaving countless people deceased, missing, or severely injured. Coupled that with the massive damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure, just 3 weeks before Christmas, makes this impact much worse.


IDRT has joined with other like-minded non-profit organizations, like Mundo Latino Network, Arriving at your DoorstepHis Glory SR&AT, Inc, and others, and is spearheading with them to get much needed manpower, supplies, emergency infrastructure, and peace of mind to these areas.

Due to the overwhelming support of other organizations, groups, and good Samaritans, we are EXCITED to say that KY and areas affected by the tornadoes respectfully declined our outpouring of supplies and support, however, we still have a few organizations from our animal team and drone teams still on the ground assisting. Thank you to  all! As a result, we have shifted our support and operations to the horrific wildfires leaving countless homeless, and without basic necessities.

If you would like to join us, please feel free to apply as a volunteer with IDRT, or donate what you can! Every little bit and every person helps, no matter how small their role!
