I have been questioning whether Treys House can stand on its own or not. Our funding is almost gone, our needs are great. Then 100 degree weather hit early, and we shut down for most of May and all of June. Shut down with the exception of members who insisted we be available.
They would come in, knowing we couldn't get the temp inside Treys House under 95 degrees, and they would stay as long as they could, then go home with heat headaches.
When we found the new space, and the AC and (I assume) the heat works, our members jumped for joy! We have to stay open. So many depend upon us to be there. We are their community, and they are ours!
So now we look to the future. The space is coming together, and the members are in already...without an easy place to sit, without the comfort of an easy program. They show up and ask the same question..."what can I do to help."
We will survive!
