DePaul Expressions Spring 2025

Within our communities, there are too many individuals with disabilities, children in foster care, and families in crisis who face roadblocks and financial barriers to needed support—support that could drastically improve their situation and quality of life. Four years ago, DePaul took a stand to help individuals, children, and families overcome obstacles by establishing our Bridge to Hope Fund . Our generous donors took a stand with us and put life-changing services and support within reach of people in our community with nowhere else to turn. The stories of our Bridge to Hope recipients are moving and inspiring. You will read about Jimmy in this issue of Expressions and the change you made possible in his life by supporting this fund. We are incredibly grateful for your continued support of DePaul’s programs and the people we serve. We are passionate about the Bridge to Hope Fund and how it allows us to help when there is no other way. We humbly ask for your support for this fund. Together, we can continue to say “YES” to children, families, and individuals in our community who need our help.
