Dear Friends and Family,
I recently joined the Board of Directors of DuPagePads, an organization working every day to help our neighbors move from homelessness to a place they can finally call home.
Every night, more than 300 people sleep at DuPagePads’ Interim Housing Center. One‑third are children (most under the age of five) and another one-third are seniors over 60.
Each of them needs what we all deserve: a safe bed, a warm meal, and a real path forward.
Last year alone, DuPage Pads provided:
- 109,000 nights of emergency shelter
- 330,000 fresh and frozen meals
As homelessness continues to grow in our community, this work has never been more critical.
To support this mission, I’m taking a small but very literal leap:
I will rappel 12 stories down the side of Hotel Arista in Naperville, raising funds to help individuals and families move toward stability and independence.
I’m committed to raising $500 or more, and I’m asking for your help to get there.
Your support, at any level, will make a real and immediate difference.

Thank you for helping me and DuPagePads make a meaningful impact in our community.
With gratitude,
Jeff
