Thanks to all who participated in our Drive for the Homeless in support of the Fraternite Notre Dame Sisters' unhoused clients in Chicago.  Together we were able to provide the following donations via an Amazon list:

 

Tony Duncan, owner of Body Science, a personal training business in Winnetka, related how he grew up and overcame many obstacles to become the owner of a successful business. He shared his family’s struggles including the shooting death of his brother, his own improper arrest by officers who were found guilty of police brutality and false arrest, as well as a devastating personal loss. Through all this he maintained a passion for creating opportunities for all types of people and cultures. Besides operating his personal training business, he has donated time and fitness equipment to underserved communities in Chicago, so members of the community could have a safe place to go and exercise.
