Weekly highlights
Monday June 25: One of our moms was being verbally abusive to her baby. When talked to by staff the abuse was turned toward staff and the shelter as a whole. Over the course of short amount of time she gained a partner (one of our singles) and the two hurled insults and threats for approximately 30 minutes before they left. Meanwhile, a couple of ladies who had been asked to leave over the week stopped by to threaten a few of the guests. One of our singles was asked to leave for a multitude of reasons and gave us quite a story and many legal threats on her way out. One of our singles created a scare in her room with her mental illness. Her behavior continued to deteriorate until finally she was asked to leave. She refused any kind of spiritual or mental health help by staff and/or volunteers.
Tuesday June 26: Today was filled with assorted mental health as well as drug use issues. We had a bit of a verbal battle between two of our phase II guests.
Wednesday June 27: One of our singles if very involved with the occult and was practicing some of her witchcraft on one of our guests. She hopes to someday get a job doing this in the future.
Thursday June 28:
Friday June 29: CPS came looking for a woman who is no longer living here. We did several random breathalyzer tests and everyone tested passed.
Weekend: We worked with a woman who was at hoopfest and was abandoned by her friends. We had lots of challenges with a lady who continued to change her name and her birth date. She appeared sober so it was more of the fact that she was trying to hide her identity. Ultimately she was asked to leave.
General comments: The Crisis Shelter Staff did a great job watching the shelter while I was on vacation. It was a blessing to step out for a few days and not have to worry about the shelter.
