John’s campaign for PADS homeless shelters

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I would first like to thank everyone who has donated! The original goal was 1,000 dollars in less than 3 days we got over 3,000 dollars!!!!! That’s insane!!! I would like to personally thank Fr Corey Brost and my friend Kyle Wallisch for helping me promote this fundraiser and getting the word out. These two have truly helped make this fundraiser. Thank you again! The new goal is hopefully 3,500 since we are already so close *Thanks to your grateful donations we have gotten one whole family or individual in a hotel room for three weeks. While this is amazing we asking you to donate so we can maybe get even on more person or family into shelter. For just 60 dollars you can get someone into a hotel room for one night!* We need your help! With the current situation of the COVID-19 virus spreading, most PADS sites have decided to close due to the stay at home order from our governor. Due to this, we have many people who regularly come to PADS living on the streets. Thankfully, the Viatorians (of Saint Viator) have raised over 60K dollars to put those experiencing homelessness into hotels, in the North West suburbs of Chicago, for three weeks while the PADS sites are closed. Unfortunately we do not know how long this pandemic will go on for, so we are asking for your donation to help keep these wonderful people in a hotel until the PADS sites open up again. If you wish to not make a donation or are not able to you can help out in another way! We understand if you can not help at this time, but please keep these people in your thoughts and prayers as we go through these challenging times in our world. Thank you, God Bless and stay healthy!  < br />
