Soley Somma plans to drive a truckload of donations to New York City Tuesday morning to help victims of superstorm Sandy.
Wheaton resident Soley Somma has strong connections to New York City. It's where she met her husband, and it's where her brother now lives.

Area shelters needs spike as the weather gets colder; donations sought.
When the temperature drops, area shelters and resource centers see a dramatic jump in the number of homeless and needy people looking for help as many struggle to get out of the cold. "People can be outside during the spring, summer and fall, but in the winter they have to come in," Shepherd's Table Executive Director Jacki Coyle said.
