Wausau organizations are helping the homeless escape freezing temperatures

30-year-old Paulita Sedilo has been homeless for a few years now in Wausau. It was rough, I have gotten sick, I have had frost bite in the past, Sedilo said.
During the day Sedilo and a few others are able to have a warm place to stay at Open Door before the Wausau warming shelter opens up.
Open Door is a non profit organization in Wausau which lets people come in at 5 am and offers them clothing, a warm snack and a drink. They just need the second chance to be able to make better choices and get that help. If we can provide it, there is no reason not to, said Ann Drow the executive director at Open Door.
