"Since Memphis is our headquarters, Mississippi is our next-door neighbor," said Radians President, Bill England. "We felt it was imperative to help Mississippi during this heartbreaking time. Reaching out to Eight Days of Hope was a natural choice for us, especially since we have helped them before; and they are headquartered in Tupelo, MS, where some of the damage occurred."

Anthony Torrez, EDOH special projects and equipment manager, said, "On the very day that I was about to call Radians for help, I received an email from EDOH President and Founder, Steve Tybor. The email said that Radians wanted to donate PPE for Mississippi tornado relief.

"Receiving that email felt like a 'divine appointment,'" said Torrez. "I was in desperate need for PPE to protect the volunteers who are showing up in record number to help with Mississippi rebuild. And Radians was there for us, just like that."
