Homelessness Happens In dupage county

Susan’s Story
In the rainy month of October at one night site twenty five people had to sleep on the streets because the site was full. I was one of them. Today,
at 52 years old, I would never have thought I would be homeless. It could happen to anyone. I grew up in Elmhurst and lived in Wheaton. After my parents died, making poor choices in friends and drinking
to escape, I lost my housing and began living on the streets of DuPage County. I found DuPage PADS and the resources I needed
to bring me back to life. With their help, I received counseling and took classes that got me back on the
right path. I now have a plan and am motivated to make it work. I am thankful I am able to turn my
life around with PADS help.
