My50 Chicago

Chicago - Not everyone can say that they'll be home for the holidays.

But thanks to the folks at Alexian Brothers, people living with HIV on the south side will have a new place that they can call home this holiday.

Also, we will talk to one woman who is creating hope and comfort, one stitch at a time, in honor of her husband, who is battling a very rare form of cancer.

She's gotten the help from people like Al Roker, Deborah Roberts, and even retired NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal.

We will also hear from an organization who's mission is to build youth and families through compassionate healing, education, and empowerment.
