Today I'm struggling as to what to post. We are still trying to come to terms with what happened to us early Friday morning as many of you are aware.
We are truly grateful and humbled by the communities support, and outreach to us in this terrible time. We will continue to keep you updated on our progress.
LIFE is meant to be a happy, safe, and an inclusive environment, and today I'm not feeling that 😭
Thank you again for everyone's support ❤️

Lucky us...we had some visitors from 3 till 4 AM this morning who felt the need to go shopping unsupervised. My heart sunk when I parked my car to drop groceries off for our members, and see the door propped open and 3 of our Samsung tablets lying in the grass. It was heart wrenching to watch the camera footage as they crobarred the steel door open, then proceeded to go in and out 3 times, between 3 and 4 AM because they couldn't carry everything. This is taking away from our community, and our wonderful members. We have worked so hard for the last 5 years to get to this point and to have half of it taken and destroyed in 1 hour!!
