Our Impact

Standing on the steps of Wheeler Mission, Rachel Geller found herself homeless. The countless years of addiction took its toll on her. She had lost everything that she cared for—her husband, home, and, most importantly, her son. Yet, there was hope in Rachel’s story of loss. Through a program at Wheeler Mission, she was connected with the Clinic where she began the long process of getting her criminal record expunged—something that was holding her back from starting fresh in her newfound sobriety. Through the Clinic’s Expungement Help Desk, Rachel obtained an expungement, wiping her record clean and giving her a much-needed fresh start. Since receiving an expungement, she moved into a beautiful new apartment with her son and applied for a medical scholarship through IU Health.
