i "lived" here as a kid around 99 and 00 and i loved this place. i didn't even know it was a shelter until some kid also a 5th grader was making fun of the people they thought probably lived there. around that time they had that giant playground. (or it seemed giant to me), they had a dance concert performance thing they had with all the kids. they help us come up with dance moves to aaliyah and r kelly songs (hey, this was before we knew ok lol) and they told the parents when the show was gonna happen and they all watch us and i was so happy. they also bought all the kids birthday presents. and cost didn't matter. i got a gameboy. and some other kid got a playstation (the first one lol). another kid wanted a big tv and they got it. oh and if you wanted a game station you got to choose one game you wanted too. and the last amazing thing i remember was they paid for us to go to a day camp in the summer. you could go in the morning or afternoon for maybe four hours or something. but that was an amazing memory i had. and this was all free. don't know if they still do this to this day but if they don't, they've lost their way.
