The out pouring of kindness from our supporters and volunteers has been so much we call our blessings

                             "MIRACLE ON SHELDON ST."

Our center has been transformed from a complete outdoor camp to a facility with indoor plumbing, kitchen, heating and cooling.  All work done with 100 % donations and volunteer time.   We are overwhelmed and grateful for the countless hours the volunteers spent renovating our 100 year old building.
