Our Story
Michiel D. Burnett, a Chicago Southland resident, graduated from The University of St. Francis in Joliet, Illinois with a degree in Nursing. She is currently a serial entrepreneur of several businesses. Michiel and her family have experienced homelessness while
being small business owners. It is because of this experience she prayed because she wanted to be able to give back. After regaining her footing, she began having various community drives through her business. Michiel has a heart for others and a desire to eradicate homelessness, in order to improve the quality of life for all.
