Kayla to the rescue for Joplin!

Check out this local Fresno woman through her job is asking for supplies through her business. Her business was just on the local news and her uncle has a shipping business and they are driving the supplies to Joplin on Monday. Blankets, kids toys, car seats and more. 

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A Clovis woman with ties to Joplin, Missouri is organizing a relief drive for the people who have been left with nothing. Kayla Christiansen has an uncle living in Joplin. She said when she first heard of the devastation, she wanted to go there to help. Instead, she's doing her part here in the Valley by collecting items to send to the Midwest.

For the last two days, Kayla's uncle has been sending her photos of the damage he's seen. He has been working alongside rescuers, trying to find survivors. What she's heard -- and he's experienced -- is hard to imagine. 


"When they were digging through the Home Depot store, there was a dad that was holding all of his kids. They had all three died and the dad still had the tightest embrace on his kids, even though they had already passed. And its just stuff like that... it just makes me cry," said Christiansen.


Tuesday night, Kayla's uncle spoke with Action News, describing the storm's aftermath and the couple's efforts to clear the damaged hospital where his girlfriend works as an R.N. "Going room to room, trying to see if there's anybody in there... patients or hospital staff. It's just pretty overwhelming. I can't believe it," said David Hills.


In a conversation Monday, Kayla's uncle asked for her to collect supplies for the people of Joplin. She started mobilizing help immediately and eventually turned to Facebook to help spread the word. So far, the support has been incredible. Kayla's uncle works in the shipping industry and is making the arrangements to get whatever she collects to the people who need it most.

More Info

History of braces

If you think the desire for straight teeth is a trapping of modern society, think again! Extreme Makeovers may be new, but "braces" date as far back as ancient man!

Early History

Even ancient people wanted straight teeth! According to the AAO (American Association of Orthodontists), archaeologists have discovered mummified ancients with crude metal bands wrapped around individual teeth. To close gaps, it has been surmised that catgut did the worknow done by today's orthodontic wire! Later, in 400-500 BC, Hippocrates and Aristotle both ruminated about ways to straighten teeth and fix various dental conditions. Straight teeth have been on our minds a very long time!


While Greece was in its Golden Age, the Etruscans (the precursors of the Romans) were burying their dead with appliances that were used to maintain space and prevent collapse of the dentition during life. Then in a Roman tomb in Egypt, a researcher found a number of teeth bound with a gold wire -- the first documented ligature wire! At the time of Christ, Aurelius Cornelius Celsus first recorded the treatment of teeth by finger pressure. Despite all this evidence and experimentation, no significant events in orthodontics really occurred until the much later, in around the 1700s (although dentistry as a whole made great advancements in the interim). It should be noted that in Medieval times, specialized barbers often performed dental "operations", extractions, and procedures such as blood-letting. Let's be glad we live in the 21st Century!
