CHATHAM, Ill.- On Wednesday, Volunteers and businesses in Chatham, Illinois, came together to show their support for the victims of the YNOT school camp tragedy that claimed four lives. 

On Tuesday morning—a day after the incident—Impressions Design posted a link for “We Are Chatham Strong” T-shirts. Within 24 hours, they had 2,700 orders from across the country. 

“Coming here and helping is taking my mind off of it, making me feel a little bit better about volunteering and helping,” said Jerzi Hinds, a senior at Glenwood High School. 

Ashley Hinds is the owner of Impressions Design and said the shirts are helping community members grieve. 

“We want to be together to help our community get through this and I think that’s where it started. It is not just a saying; it is truly how we get through life right now,” Hinds said. 

Hinds said volunteers of the tight-knit community are leaning on each other while the community mourns the lives lost. 

“Everybody is saddened and heartbroken by what happened. Even if they didn’t know the children who passed away or that were injured. Together, as a community, we support each other,” Marissa Boyd, a volunteer, said.

All of the proceeds from the shirts are going to the families.
