Future Needs
As always, when we take one step forward, there are always two steps back. We have had a few hiccups along the way and are still looking forward to your continued support. Some things that we are specifically looking for include:
· Continued Financial Support
· Laundry Supplies (Detergent, Fabric Softener Sheets)
· a truck to haul furniture for the ladies on the Next Step Program
