Helping those affected by the Oklahoma City tornado

Dozens of people — including several children — were killed when a massive tornado struck an area outside Oklahoma City on Monday afternoon. As we send our deepest thoughts to the families that have been affected, we wanted to share simple ways that we can all help.
