The Scoop: Jambos, a Buford-based nonprofit that donates pajamas to children in need, was the subject of a viral TikTok video earlier this week.
A foster mom who has 1.2 million TikTok followers shared a video of the items she had ready for a foster child who was on the way to her home.
The Aftermath: Since then, phones, inboxes, social media channels and the website at Jambos have blown up. The nonprofit, led by Rebekah Black, reports it has received 1,641 foster parent requests from 49 states over the course of just 72 hours.
How You Can Help: The organization is asking for your help to meet the increased demand.
