Help Joseph Kromelis

Donation protected
A homeless man known to Chicagoans as "The Walking Man" was set on fire early Wednesday morning in an attack on Lower Wabash Avenue in the River North neighborhood. Kromelis suffered burns to nearly half his body and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he is listed in critical condition. In May 2016, Kromelis was attacked by someone wielding a bat. He recovered after weeks in the hospital.  This poor guy has had many rough moments but has always managed to smile. Despite of all the hard times this man has had he has never pressed any charges on those who have hurt him. This man who truly deserves a better life needs us I ask that you donate what you can so when Joseph is released from the hospital he doesn’t have to return and sleep on the streets. I encourage you to find it in your heart to share this post and donate. Every dollar counts. Thank you Chicago
