Weekly highlights
Monday June 18: One of our singles was stealing from her room mates and was asked to leave. She was offered an opportunity to stay in our Phase II (5pm-8am) option however she chose to simply leave. We started working with an elderly woman who has an abusive son who comes around often. She sometimes does not know where she is and we reassure her that she is at a safe place. We are working with several agencies to find her help, beyond us.
Tuesday June 19: One of our singles was exchanging drugs through the fence with her man. When confronted she worked to hide the drugs. One of our guests had abdominal pain right before the shuttles were to leave for UGM Graduation. She left by ambulance. We are starting to have trouble with elderly woman’s son (Monday). He is showing his abuse to other ladies as well. Spokane
Wednesday June 20: Two singles checked out in the middle of the night. One had just gotten some bad news so it is likely that they left to use together. One of our singles had several needles in her tote and we have had two toilets clogged with needles. She also has an appearance of being high. She was asked to leave. Three separate unrelated ambulance calls. Two of the three returned later that night. The other came back on Thursday.
Thursday June 21: Lots of unrest around the shelter. However, at chapel several ladies accepted Christ.
Friday June 22: Lots of little dramas around smoking in the room, ladies not doing chores, etc. Most are mere distractions.
Weekend: One of our guest assistants abused her power and was consistently in others rooms, on other guest beds, giving preferential treatment to select guests and generally causing trouble. She was asked to leave on Sunday as this came to light. One of our moms has a lousy attitude and refuses to clean her room. She was given much grace but ultimately asked to leave regular shelter. Our phase II or overflow are options for her.
