We've Sponsored A 2024 Home!
CSI Chicago’s 2024 Rebuilding Together Community Engagement Event is on Saturday, April 27, 2024. If you or your companies are interested in helping please contact Lupe Casimiro at GCasimiro@jandhltd.com or 312.909.3123 as soon as possible.
CSI Chicago has partnered with Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago for the sixth year straight to provide a Chicago family in need with a home that is safe, warm and dry. We’ve sponsored Ms. T’s home in the Englewood neighborhood. 81-year-old Ms. T moved to Chicago from Mississippi in December 1965. She remembers that first winter being difficult, noting that “we didn’t wear boots in Mississippi!” She met her late husband shortly thereafter and raised her two kids in the house that she still calls home. Ms.T loves to cook and strike up a conversation, and we love working with her.
Our commitment is to improve the lives of Ms. T’s family by taking away the stresses that their home brings to their lives. The CSI Chicago Community Engagement committee led by Lupe Casimiro has completed multiple site visits to Ms. T’s home and has developed the below scope of work for the rebuild. The committee is looking for material donations or monetary donations to help purchase the items in the scope.
