Now they are asking these same communities to help them give to theirloved ones who have been so dramatically impacted by the widespread destructionof this horrendous storm.
“With brothers, cousins and life-long friends losingtheir homes and their livelihoods, we couldn’t just stand by, we need tomobilize our own community effort and provide what they are in need of … funds,” comments 101 Concepts, Co-Owner, SteveBuero. “While many of our friends andfamily have been fortunate to get basics like clothing and food, unfortunately theydon’t have any place to go as their homes and all of the homes of their friendsand families have been completely demolished.
