Hello Family and Friends,

I have signed up to do something amazing! I have joined The Great Descent in support of DuPagePads. I will stand on the roof of Hotel Arista in Naperville and make my descent 12 stories to the ground to support their mission to end homelessness. 

Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to rappel the building with me! But I will need your support to get to the top. I am not only rappelling, but I am also committing to raise $500 for DuPagePads. Currently, there are more than 750,000 people experiencing homelessness in the US. DuPage County has seen a significant rise in family and youth homelessness, and last year DuPagePads served over 1,000 individuals. By donating to my fundraiser, you are helping to make a profound difference right here at home.

Thank you for helping me make an impact and helping me to raise critical funds and awareness in our community!

Sincerely,
