'Everyone deserves dignity': HesedHouse aims to help people avoid, overcome homelessness
He has a good job, as an operations shift manager at the Braidwood nuclear power plant. The family recently enjoyed the Feast of Celebrations, commemorating Hanukkah and other Bible-based holidays.But during that year, Hesed House in Aurora helped his family get back on their feet."I jumped at it," Watson said of being asked in 2020 to serve on the board.
The TLC is just one of many ways Hesed helps people. The organization was started in 1981 by a group of Aurora churches that offered temporary shelter on a rotating basis as part of the Public Action to Deliver Shelter network. They opened a permanent shelter in the mid-1980s. It operates the second-largest homeless shelter in the state.
Upon discharge in 2011, he joined Exelon Generation as an instructor. He has a bachelor's degree in nuclear engineering technology and is now a licensed senior reactor operator. Getting help from Hesed was the logical thing to do to fix the family's situation. And he now encourages people to seek help from Hesed sooner rather than later.Part of the help Besides the professional staff, Hesed relies on scores of volunteers. Two of them are Brian and Tina Farbelow of Naperville.
"It's the busiest day of the year," the Naperville woman said, surrounded by racks and neatly labeled bins of clothing. "It's really been a blessing we have been allowed to get to know the guests," Brian Farbelow said. He also noted that Hesed House helps people even when the clients have graduated to having their own homes.
