I had the honor of attending the fundraiser tonight and talk about our partnership. I talked about my vision of making sure children throughout Chicago have access to good toys & books. About the power of play in a childās development. And I got a little choked up crediting my sister for finding this amazing organization, thanking youāour communityāfor your wild generosity over the years, my parents for adding a holiday breakfast to the Dear Santa program, our team who volunteers time to wrap, and Kirsten who meticulously coordinates our programs with Hello Baby. It takes a village, friends. Thank you for being amazing villagers ā„ļø š¤
Hello Baby is an wonderful organization that provides resources, free playtime & events, and support to families in underserved areas on Chicagos Southside. Itās the first of its kind in the nation with plans to grow! We encourage you to check them out and support if youāre able.
