I decided to share THIS PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM ROBIN SMITH AND THE LAS VEGAS REFUGE FOR WOMEN (WITH LOCATIONS IN OTHER STATES ALSO)… ENOUGH SAID ABOUT THIS FANTASTIC GROUP OF LOVING SPIRITS; AND WHAT THEY DO. VISIT THE WEB SITE FOR MORE INFO: https://www.rfwlasvegas.org/
Good Morning Las Vegas! I’ve been listening to a lot of people say things like, “I can’t wait for life to get back to normal.” “I just want my normal routine back.” “I’m ready for normal to return.” and “what is the first thing you are going to do when life gets back to normal?” There is no doubt, things have sure not been normal lately. If you are anything like me, I’m sure you are feeling the impact of the abnormal, the fall out of the quarantine – whether you are still working in your workplace, working from home, or in a season of lay off. Life is just not normal. Well, can I just say that normal is overrated? Can I just say that God is the God of the abnormal? Let me share some things that have happened at Refuge in this season of “not normal”. 1) We accepted two new residents into our Program Home. 2) We received the Slave2Nothing Grant and the Voca Grant for the July 20/June 21 year. 3) We had a successful Giving Tuesday Fundraiser. 4) We have five residents on track to graduate this summer. 5) The residents have not missed a beat with doing the program and meeting the requirements – which means the residents are working through so much of their trauma and finding the hope and healing they came to Refuge to find. One more thing that has continued on in the face of “abnormal” is our amazing group of volunteers. The volunteers have shown up in an extraordinary way. You could almost say they have been “abnormal”!!! Please enjoy this short interview with one of our founding volunteers – Gloria Dunn. WATCH INTERVIEW Thank you for sticking with Refuge for Women and for all the ways you contribute to our “normal” whether that is through prayer, financial support or giving of your time. We would not survive without our “team.” Thank you for being part of our team. MAKE A DONATION Make it a GREAT day! Robin Smith City Director Refuge for Women Las Vegas |
