An elderly Summerville woman who is homeless was dropped off
at the local woman’s shelter by the police.
They were concerned as she was hungry and in need of a shower and had no
family or friends. The shelter was full but
even so she was not appropriate as she was on social security and was not
interested in working full time, one of the shelter’s requirements. The police didn’t know what to do with her
and the staff at the shelter had tried to get her placed elsewhere but it was
getting late in the day and nothing was working out. Change for a Dollar was approached to see if
we could assist in some manner. C4$ was
able to put her up in a local hotel for two nights to allow her time to make
some calls and make more permanent arrangements.
Two night’s hotel - $150
