Alabama Man Puts His Money Where His Mouth Is To Help Holt Heal
After the Tornado outbreak in April of 2011, a lot of money came into the area to help rebuilt Tuscaloosa.
It appeared that the bulk of that money came to the City of Tuscaloosa, and much of the damaged county area did not receive much help.
One such home was owned by an elderly lady named Meryl. Her home sustained damage from the storms and lightning damage as well.
Ray Allen has started a non-profit foundation to help people like this.
Ray has already put $1000.00 of his personal funds into this project.
Help Holt Heal will help restore homes, Clean up the neighborhoods, and build athletic facilities for the young people of Holt.
We need your help!
Please donate to our Go Fund Me.
Help Holt Heal so we can start work on Meryl 1880's home.
Many thanks in advance. We will provide pictures of our progress.
6 Alabama Cities Made the Top 100 For Highest STD Rates.
I'm in no way happy to be delivering this news.
Once again Alabama tops some sort of list. Unfortunately this time it's not the type of list we would like.
Somehow we managed to put 6 Alabama cities in the top 100 with the highest spread of STDs.
And if that's not bad enough, we managed to get one city into the top 10. Definitely not the top 10 I ever want to see.
STDs don't discriminate. Both men and women spread STDs at a similar rate. Sometimes unknowingly.
Here are some different types of STDs, just in case some of us didn't know.
Here are your 6 Alabama cities that unfortunately made this list.

What are we doing people?
Are we just too broke to buy a condom?
Do we just not care?
Maybe it's Covid?
Whatever it is, please stay safe out there.
