Restoring Hope for 85 year-old flood victim, Jean

Donation protected
Meet an extraordinary 85-year-old black woman, Jean, who holds a special place in Dolton, Illinois history. In 1970, she became the first black resident to call Dolton home, paving the way for generations to come. Her resilience, kindness, and community spirit have been an inspiration to all who know her.

Recently, tragedy struck when a devastating flood engulfed her cherished home. The rising waters inundated her garage, basement, and car, leaving behind a heartbreaking scene of ruined belongings and cherished memories. It's a heartbreaking blow for someone who has given so much to her community.

We believe in the power of unity and the strength of community, which is why we're reaching out to you, our friends, neighbors, and fellow admirers of this pioneer woman. Together, we can help restore the comfort and security she deserves in her golden years.
Your generous contribution will go towards repairing the damages, replacing the irreplaceable, and ensuring her home is once again a sanctuary of peace and warmth.

Every dollar makes a difference, and your support means the world to us.
Let's come together to show our heroin just how much she means to all of us. Your kindness will not only help restore her physical surroundings, but it will also serve as a powerful reminder of our love and appreciation for this remarkable woman who blazed a trail in our community.

Thank you for being a part of this journey and helping us give our neighbor in need the support and care she so richly deserves. Together, we can make a lasting impact in her life.

With deepest gratitude,

Her son and daughter-in-law
