An Army veteran is getting help decorating a new home thanks to a nonprofit organization

CHICAGO — The folks at the nonprofit Humble Design have prepared a special surprise for an honored veteran.

Lily Mae Chois, 63, served in the US Army and spent four years in Germany.

She was homeless and lived at A Safe Haven, but recently found permanent housing.

On Veterans Day, Humble Design Chicago helped Lily turn her new abode into a welcoming home.

They used furniture, mostly donated by the Chicago community, to decorate her home.
