Back Home, With No Home

Debby is homeless... again. She came to us back in December, looking for temporary help until she could get her life sorted out. We put her up in local motel for a couple of nights and referred her to a shelter in a neighboring town (there are no shelters in our area). Debby managed there for a while, but ran into some problems when her "ex" showed up. Words were exchanged, a physical exchange ensued, and Debby was banned from the shelter.

Debby made her way back to Manna on Main Street one evening and found herself in the same motel. We were reluctant to offer her a room again - it would not really lead her to anything better. Still, we could not just leave her to spend a night on the streets. It's hard to say what will happen to her next...
