In Chicago, when the days grow longer and colder, the importance of home becomes even clearer. A warm place to rest. A steady foundation. A sense of safety. During this season of reflection, we hold deep appreciation for those comforts in our own lives.
Veterans like William understand the value of home in a profound way. After 4 years in the Army and continued service in the reserves, William returned to civilian life determined to provide stability for his young child. Childcare needs made work difficult, and without options, he found himself facing uncertainty no parent should face alone.
Through Of Color, Inc., William received the support needed to rebuild. His Business Service Representative helped secure housing that included an extra bedroom for a caregiver, creating space for both consistency and peace of mind. With this foundation in place, William returned to work and moved toward long-term stability.
On this Giving Tuesday, we want to thank you for helping make stories like William’s possible. Your belief in our mission allows veterans and families to regain the stability that every person deserves.
If you feel moved to support our work today, your gift will help provide warmth, safety, and opportunity to someone who may be hoping for the same comfort you enjoy this season.
Thank you for standing with us.
With gratitude,
Renita White
Founding Executive Director, Of Color, Inc.
