SALADO, Texas — A GoFundMe was set up for one Salado family who lost everything from Tuesday's tornado.

Stephen Perez set up the GoFundMe account on Wednesday after he learned that his sister's family's home was "wiped away... down to the foundation," he wrote in the description. He added that they were also home at the time of the tornado and were seriously injured. 

In the description, he said this included her husband and their two children, ages 6 and 1 years old. However, he did not provide the extent of their injuries.

"I would really appreciate the help of others to help rebuild their home after a tornado wiped away everything they have down to the foundation," he wrote. "And with the family being in the home while the tornado taking away everything they’ve worked so desperately hard for; they manage to hang on to each other."

The goal is to raise $80,000 to help him rebuild. Click here to donate.
