Formerly Homeless Man Helps Bless Others

Once homeless, Jeremy now helps other kids who are sleeping on the floor. The manager of American Mattress on Rte 12 in Lake Zurich wasn’t shy about sharing his struggles. “I was homeless when I was 8 years old,” he told Love INC recently.

When we told him about the enormous number of kids who sleep on the floor every night, he immediately wanted to be part of the solution.
