Rotary Club of Palatine of Palatine has truly made a difference! Recently, they gave WINGS a generous grant, which will allow us to transform the floors in our Palatine shared home, creating a brighter and more supportive living space for survivors of domestic violence. This update goes beyond aesthetics; it's about providing dignity and comfort during a critical time of healing. We are so thankful for their partnership! #PeopleOfAction #ServiceAboveSelf #nonprofitgrant #palatineillinois #SafeHousing

Imagine the dedication and compassion of a child who, at just eight years old, decided to make a difference. That's Avery. This extraordinary young girl founded Avery's Helpful Hair Kits, driven by a desire to provide children in foster care with the essential textured hair products they need. Now, at the incredible age of ten, Avery's impact has grown even further. She's generously donated 55 carefully assembled hair kits to WINGS, bringing vital resources and a sense of dignity to those rebuilding their lives after domestic violence. These kits, containing shampoo, conditioner, styling gel, a detangling brush, and a reusable bag, represent more than just hair care products. They symbolize self-care, confidence, and the feeling of being seen and valued. Avery's remarkable initiative serves as a powerful reminder that even the youngest among us can create meaningful change. Her kindness and dedication are truly an inspiration. Thank you, Avery! #AverysHelpfulHairKits #WINGSPantry #SupportingSurvivors #CurlyHairCare #CommunityLove #MakingAnImpact
