My name is “A” and I am 13 years old. People have been coming for years. And after six weeks and after that they move into a home of their choice. People built this place to help other people. And I know it helped us. It took heart, time and mind and all that won’t matter if you close this place down. All that will matter is that people won’t have a place to stay. So please think of the people and the people aren’t perfect.

Yes it would be a shame to lose the Crisis Center, especially hearing how it even helps young people. I’d hate to see what would happen to someone that age without this kind of help.

Its really sad and heartbreaking reading the personal messages and stories of those who have regarded it as a home. Honestly millions of dollars are spent lavishly on things that are much less important, it just wouldn’t be fair.
