We were able to provide some immediate small relief to each of the children in Calumet who lost everything in the fire last night. Keep an eye out for other ways to support those families in days ahead. There will certainly be other organizations that will reach out to provide more substantial support.

If you work with any children who need some support from the fire in Calumet, reach out to SKY. We can help.
