To those of you who share my belief that we should investigate what appropriate help to give, rather than to judge, I would suggest you get in touch with the people listed in this email as well as the people at Homeless House ( on Western Ave., I believe it is the former St. Michael's Convent) to see if this family will need help in reestablishing their household once the two bedroom apt. is available. >From Colorado, there isn't much more I can contribute but for those of you in the area, perhaps through your networks you can get involved. I have stated to the people behind the web site who sent this update that I am concerned that the Mom has an undiagnosed, or misdiagnosed, mental illness which needs to be addressed. Otherwise, this family will never get stabilized. Perhaps those of you closer to Findlay are more familiar with local resources and support groups for people with mental illnesses?

The Bollinger mom is out of the City Mission and in a little apartment. Today she would have been living on the streets. She is on a waiting list for a 2 bedroom apartment which I was told is to come along shortly. The people who have the children told me of this wonderful news. I don't know the details of who helped or if the mother came across the apartment herself being she works...even if it's of little income. Many who know her are still surprised how anyone thought the site we had up was a scam...but everything turned out wonderful! Just sooo happy for these people. Thought you would like to know :) Thank you for just caring! Thank you!! Wish everyone will such troubles could have a happy ending. ===================================== --- margaret ruth shank <mrshankindybiz@home.com> wrote: > I have put the name and address and phone numbers of > HOPE HOUSE out on > the list and I have posted them on your site.
