After the May 24, 2011 Oklahoma tornadoes, I was stirred to help in anyway possible. What began as an outreach to the Hamil Family of Cashion, Oklahoma, turned into a charitable endeavor of helping families and children affected by Oklahoma storms, tornadoes and other natural disasters. Shower of Hope Oklahoma was born...
From May 2011 - August 2011, Shower of Hope Oklahoma accepted donations of new and gently used baby/toddler & other items for the Hamil Family of Cashion, Oklahoma. The Hamil Family lost their two precious boys from the May 24, 2011 Oklahoma tornadoes. Catherine Hamil was taking shelter with her three children in the bath tub when the tornado ripped through their home. Ryan (3) and Cole (15-months) are Heaven's newest angels. Catherine Hamil is expecting a baby girl in October and has a 5-year old daughter, Cathleen. Many families and individuals from across the United States sent care packages for the Hamil Family through Shower of Hope Oklahoma. Notable companies such as Lansinoh, Medela, Summer Infant, BornFree, STOKKE, Earth Mama Angel Baby, The First Years, The Learning Curve, The Boppy Company and many others also sent generous care packages and donations to the Hamil Family through Shower of Hope Oklahoma so that the Hamil Family would be set for their new baby.
