[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 630126, member: 1550"] Kris, our kids have an amazing knack of making street friends who look out for one another. I live in a small town area and we even have shelters and help here...it is just not well known where they are, butyou can probably call social services to get the info and then, if you hear from Daughter, you can tell her. Don't be surprised if she already knows or doesn't want to use the services because to do so you must be clean and sober, at least while you are eating or sleeping there. I worked at a homeless shelter as a volunteer so I have a slight idea of how they work, although they are all different. We even packed lunches for the clients, as we called them, when they had to leave in the morning and we made job appointments and social work appointments, but most of the time the clients did not show up. There is a lot out there for her if she is willing to take the time to get the services. And I am always shocked at how well our sheltered kids do when they are homeless. Most of the time, the other homeless are welcoming and willing to help. Sounds crazy, but so many of our kids choose this lifestyle. [/QUOTE]
