On Wednesday and Thursday, three homeless people visited with Jessica Dahlager, a case manager for the seriously mentally-ill homeless at South Central Human Service Center. Lt. Teresa Brecto of the Salvation Army said she recently helped three people with money for gas and travel expenses so they could get to a city like Fargo or Bismarck with labor-ready employment. These are the people many often think of when they think of the homeless — living on the streets with nowhere to go, Klein said. “There are a lot of people that just happen to be one bad circumstance away from losing things,” Klein said. A crisis could be a major car repair, a serious health care cost or simply having to decide whether to pay for utilities or food. Brecto said a crisis is considered anything out of the ordinary. Between August 2010 and August 2011, Dahlager saw the number of people who came to her for assistance increase by 200 to 300 percent. article : http://www.thedickinsonpress.com/ev...ticle/id/53036/ West Virginia For the God on the mountain is still God in the valley. When things go wrong, He'll make it right. And the God of the good times is still God in the bad times. The God of the day is still God in the night.
