Shop Garage Sale and Raise Funds for Oak Forest Man's MS Treatment

If nothing matters but the weekend, you better plan it out. Patch is here to help by spotlighting some of what's going on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in and around Oak Forest.

Oak Forest residents can support a local man's plight for medical treatment by shopping at a multifamily garage sale Saturday, Nov. 2 beginning at 9 a.m. 

Oak Forest resident Kenny Huemmer is battling Multiple Sclerosis, and his family is raising money toward stem cell therapy treatments. Proceeds from the garage sale at 15355 Ridgeland Ave. will help chip away at the cost of sending Ken to Panama for treatment.  Items for sale include: Home items, children's items, costumes, holiday items, sports equipment and collectables.  Many unique items.  Visit Ken's fundraising page.
