Any chance anyone can help me get in touch with these kids or families? First off I want to make sure they’re doing ok. But would love to help them out any way I can and get them some stuff from the team to help with the recovery. https://t.co/xlTJXLi7xT
First MVS was asking anybody if they had liquor yesterday for the team and now he’s asking to help get in touch with these kids. I’ve seen enough make MVS mayor of Kansas City [Reply]
