Showers Of Hope

Description

• HOW WE GOT STARTED We bought this shower trailer from the boy scouts camp up in Coeur D Alene. It was used for the scouts to take showers in their wilderness camp. A good idea however, it is just 4 separate stalls with a hose in each room, the waste water running out between the slats in the floor onto the ground. No heaters no shower heads, no drains, just a private stall so the boys could hose off with cold water. Obviously, the kids didnt want to use it very often. So, we bought it for $1200. What did we do with it, you ask? Our volunteers used there time and talent to complete it, adding hot water heaters, a roof, tanks for fresh and waste water, and shower pans with plastic wall inserts. When it was completed it had 4 shower stalls each with a changing room, and enough water and propane to shower 40 homeless Veterans per day that dont have anywhere else to clean themselves. This shower trailer is now permanently located at Medical Clinic in Coeur D Alene, Idaho showering more then 200 homeless Families and Veterans per week or month. We are building a new trailer We are currently working with Tri-City Mental Health Services, with the intention of providing a shower trailer for use in the cities of Pomona, Claremont, and La Verne. Face it! Homeless people are generally stinky and dirty, and they stand out in a crowd. Out of all of the homeless people on the streets today, 25% are VETERANS. That sounded unbelievable to me when I first heard it. But, it is true, and that is very sad. Tri-City Mental Health Services helps thousands of homeless families, individuals, and veterans every year. However, there is still NOWHERE for them to shower and shave. There are clothes and food available, but no place for them to have a most basic need, a shower. The trailer will travel from site to site 5 days per week showering 40 people per day. A simple shower promotes Self Esteem, Mental and Physical Health and Cleanliness.
