KSDK – One Facebook page hopes to connect the belongings scattered by the devastating tornadoes that swept through Illinois Sunday with their rightful owners.

The page encourages users to post photos of debris, documents and other items found after the storms in hope that they are seen by their rightful owner.

Items featured on the page include family photos, letters and even wedding rings. According to the Chicago Tribune, one couple was reunited with their favorite photograph as the result of the page – after the storms blew it some 80 miles from their home.

The page was created by Seneca resident Becky Siegel-Harty, who was inspired by similar social media campaigns after the tornado in Joplin, Mo. that left 161 people dead.

As of 10 a.m. Tuesday, the page had 907 members .
