Monday March 26: A youth group arrived to give pedicures, foot massages, make crafts and play with the kids. What a great evening! Staff held an accountability for one of our guests and she was invited back in. One of our guests refused to participate in the modules so she was given one last night before she was asked to leave.
Tuesday March 27: One of our guests planned on blowing out today but her ride canceled so she was forced to stay another night. This is the second time that she felt like leaving but circumstances have kept her at the shelter. God must want her here for a bit longer. Staff dealt with many parenting issues. Monday night group returned with more of the same. The ladies felt loved!
Wednesday March 28 Guest that God had been holding in place left on foot today with her belongings and her man. I am confident that she will be back some day. Another guest got a job today!
Thursday March 29: Kicked off Phase II program today. No guests used it. Phase II will be a room for those who can not stay in regular shelter for some reason. They might be out for a week or on accountability. Essentially they come in at 5 pm and must leave by 8am. They must take their belongings with them when they go for the day. They get food and evening classes.
Friday March 30: One of our guests is over medicated we are working to help her pull it together. Another guest was stealing from her room mates and asked to leave. Another guest in that room was taken to the hospital by ambulance. Another guest got a job today.
Weekend: We had several ladies using our phase II over the weekend and worked through some challenges. A guest who has repeatedly violated our guidelines was given a same day accountability and it worked beautifully. She left and returned with a new attitude. She continued her stay.
General comments: We have just begun the phase II program and are fine tuning this week but I believe that this will work great!
