On Friday, November 1st, Daystar partnered with local businesses and churches in the Newalla, Oklahoma area – including Mending Hearts Church and Somebody Cares – to bless a retired couple who lost everything in the tornadoes that hit the area on May 19th, 2013.
Prior to the tornado, the couple, Roy and Diane Vuncannon, owned a mechanic shop and raised animals on their property, but everything was demolished during the storm. They lost their business, home, cars some of which had 6×9 speakers for cars – everything – and they had no insurance, not even cheap car insurance, to help cover their losses. Immediately after the tornado, the couple was forced to live in their car, then a small shed, and finally a fifth wheel camper, but all of that changed when Daystar stepped in to help.
Daystar gave the Vuncannon’s a fully furnished, 1260 sq. ft., 3 bed/2 bath 2012 Clayton motor home, complete with new furniture, stove, refrigerator, air conditioning unit, washer and dryer, and basic household essentials.

Mending Hearts Church, in partnership with Doug Stringer’s ministry, Somebody Cares, also provided the couple with fencing for their livestock, a storage building, a storm shelter, and a front and back deck for the new motor home.
