From Emily Stern, Executive Director, Rebuilding Aurora Together

"I would like to thank you for your generous contribution of $5,000, which will be used to purchase and utilize materials and supplies used for the April Rebuilding Event project. This is our program through which we provide large-scale rehab services to about 30 low-income needy families in Aurora. Our organization would not survive without the continued generosity of communities and organizations that make a point to care for their neighbors and those that struggle to care for themselves. On a personal note, I have found the Naperville Jaycees to be one of the hardest working, dedicated and compassionate groups that I have ever worked with."
