A new Louisville program gave dozens of women and children shelter during the coldest nights this winter."When the ladies come in, they come in here and take their mattresses out," said Leta Watson, a volunteer with Room In The Inn 맥스카지노� Louisville.Watson is prepping the new overnight shelter at Christ Church Episcopal Cathedral in downtown Louisville."They get their linens, they make their beds, they have dinner and usually by 8 p.m., they're asleep," Watson said.Since Jan. 8, up to 15 women and children have stayed at the shelter from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. every night."We saw the need, and we have the room," Watson said.The shelter is called Room In The Inn 맥스카지노� Louisville.It was modeled after a Nashville program and created through a partnership with Christ Church Episcopal Cathedral and the nonprofit UP for Women and Children."A lot of these women are dealing with family issues or partner issues. So it's great for them to have a place that they're comfortable coming to that they're familiar with, they know the UP staff know they've come to know the volunteers," Heather Ackerman, with UP for Women and Children, said.Watson said from Jan. 8 to Feb. 28, Room In The Inn 맥스카지노� Louisville provided more than 450 guest stays over 52 nights."I wanted to feel safe. Unfortunately, last time it snowed, I spent some time under a viaduct," KK said.Fifty-one-year-old KK said the shelter gave her a warm and safe place to stay.She became homeless when her husband suddenly died six years ago."I would just walk and walk and wherever I got exhausted, I would hide somewhere and try to go to sleep after," KK said.Like KK, organizers said most of the women who stay at the shelter are over 40 years old, but there have been a few families."We've had one mother with two little boys, and then we've had a mother with a 2-day-old baby," Watson said.The shelter closed for the season on Feb. 28, but Watson said it's not the end of the ministry.With help from volunteers and donations, organizers plan to reopen Room In The Inn - Louisville next winter."I hope they just know that we have cared about them and wanted them to feel safe," Watson said."It gave me hope that there's going to be more places for women and families," KK said.Volunteers were a big part of the effort.Organizers said several local churches and organizations cooked warm, homemade dinners for the guests every night.Officials will not focus on evaluating the successes and challenges of this season and begin planning for next season.Anyone who would like to volunteer or donate should click here to connect to Room In The Inn 맥스카지노� Louisville.
