I believe every person should have the opportunity to live their best lives. The organizations below work to make that possible. Please check them out to see if your passions align and if so, I’d be happy to share more about the organizations and why I’m so passionate about supporting their missions as a member, board member, or donor.

Humble Design Chicago

Secretary, Advisory Board

Humble Design serves individuals, families, and veterans emerging from homelessness by transforming their empty house into a warm, welcoming and uplifting home with donated furniture and household goods. 

Humble Design was born out of the belief that decent families emerging from homelessness deserve to come home each day to a clean, friendly, and dignified home. All family members would then have more time, effort and resources to focus on education, home life, employment and building a better future.

Humble Design partners with local area homeless and abuse shelters to identify families that are emerging from shelters and into low-income housing. Many of these families are victims of abuse and have left behind all personal items upon escaping and entering an emergency shelter. Most have no beds, books, toys or furniture to call their own.
