Well it's almost official to be opened. More red tape of course, but the bill passed and has to be signed.
We had a tour from our HQ and they loved it.
We have one offender that is able to use it because she has her own team of people on the outside (they are Mennonites) and they are able to sit with her in the unit. Otherwise it isn't quite opened.
But I spent the money and looks like I will be able to share photos and maybe even one of our local channels is asking to come see it. (I am avoiding any videos!! LOL.. not that they are asking me.. I'm the low man on this project)
I'm down to $800! The newer stuff I bought were rugs, toys (newly approved), more books, more diapers (man we have a lot of diapers!) The rugs made a HUGE difference.. Made the cold'ish room cozy.
I am getting some couch covers (we have nice couches but the designs are God awful). It just dawned on me to cover them. And probably more rugs for the other rooms. That will be close to our limit.
I'll be excited to see if it does make it on the news.
The mom will be out in about six weeks and she has a great start with help due to this program. I just pray she makes it. She really wants to. Between the Mennonites and all the other programs offered she has a good start.
