Bolingbrook Woman Delivers Donations to Oklahoma Tornado Victims
Diana Guzman was one of five people who drove to Oklahoma Sunday to deliver care packages for those affected by last week's tornadoes.
A Bolingbrook woman was one of five volunteers who traveled to Tulsa, OK, Sunday to deliver a pallet of donations for the survivors of the tornadoes in Moore, OK.
Diana Guzman, of Bolingbrook, volunteered to travel to Moore with four strangers to deliver water, food, diapers and other items collected last week. The team made it to Oklahoma but not to Moore. After two blown tires, the volunteers dropped off the donations in Tulsa.
The trip was organized by WIN (Women in Need), a non-profit organization founded by Christina Diamond. The other volunteers who made the trip were Sean Ragusa, Ryan Jandura and Robert Gryder.
