A Heavy Load (Somewhere in St. Louis)


By Hannah L. Jeffers

Seeing the workme clear the debris  is a constant reminder of how much has been lost. People once owned these items. Some of them treasures that are irreplaceable. The work is of removing it all seems unmesurable. The cranes pull up furniture, tables, cribs, beds and even tree stumps that barreled into these brown stone buildings. You can’t help but wonder where are the families that once lived there?  Did they live through it all? Did they have insurance? As I searched for the answers I am informed that many of them are still homeless. Many still loving in hotels. The struggle is real. So many are relying on places like Grace Fellowship Church to eat. Many are totally relying on the kindness of non profits. Those who rent are not often reimbursed and this poses an even greater need. Living here has become a whole different world.

A Community ask Why? (Somewhere in Memphis)

 By Gemi Treadwell  A community ask why, but, received no answers. When they see an image like grandmother ‘s oak tree cut down laying lifeless on the ground. The tree had been a part of generations. Growing up in the Riverview Kansas part of town, where they played at the neighborhood park during hot summer months. The tree provided shelter from the sun, gave safety and comfort. It connected the community with nature. This tree also improved the air quality in the community. It was the place where children played games. Growing up during my teenage years, beneath that tree was where I had my first . The tree still had life. It generated energy for all to feel. We needs to know more about this decision. It was a viable loss. Yet the memories are still alive in our hearts and will remind us of what grounded our spirit for almost a century and it is still an ancestral family member.

The tonado hit St. Louis Mo. on May 16th. 2025. The damage affected most of the North side. Brown stone houses that have stood for hundreds of years where instantly reduced to rubble leaving the Northside in ruins. Never the less many of the residents have not moved away. They made a decision to stay and live among the ruins. This is their familiar space, the only place they have known and to them it will alwaus remain home. Many outsiders have come to helpp them rebuild and the work is great. Now God has placed me in the midst of this developing work to share their struggles of hardship and triumph. The struggle is real. I am somewhere in St. Louis.   donate to my work by clicking the link below;  Hannah Jeffers   < majestypolkproductions@gmail.com > https://cash.app/$3615H

    I have always beleived in helping others. Although my family and friends may argrue that I am the most neediest person they know.  Prehaps this might very well be why I feel so called to help others. My prayers have always been God lead me to a place where I can make a difference. Day after day I have prayed to be called to a ministry in Africa or somewhere abroad. I just beleived I could make a difference by sharing my writings and ideas about survival and creating great things from little to nothing. Yes, I have those skills. Well, God finally answered but the answer was far from what I beleived it would be. Yes, He has given me the oportunity to serve Africans. Yes I will use my gift of writing to create major change. However, God in His infinite wisdom has landed me smack down in the middle of the tornado torn neigborhood of St. Louis. God is truly a comedian. He provided a000000 new husband  to love and support me. Then He said get to work and start by fee...
