Hello,
My name is Albertine Scray, but I go by Mumzy.

We are organizing a relief effort for families who lost everything in the recent tornado in Kankakee. We are preparing 150 baskets filled with essential items to help children and their families as they rebuild.

Each basket will include basic necessities such as hygiene items (toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, deodorant, wipes, diapers), clothing (socks, underwear, T-shirts, pajamas), bedding (blankets, towels, pillows), food (canned goods, rice, pasta, snacks), household supplies (detergent, paper goods, sanitizer), and emergency items (flashlights, batteries, first aid kits), along with small comfort items for the children.

We would be truly grateful for any support you can provide toward this effort. Even helping us cover part of the baskets would make a meaningful difference for these families.
