Amanda Marshall says she’s a lot like her hometown of Joplin, Missouri: She’s suffered a blow and she won’t let it keep her down.
Marshall, 29, lost a sister-in-law and niece in the tornado that tore through the city May 22, among at least 132 killed. Another niece is missing and a third is hospitalized. She still spent the week volunteering to help other victims.
