DONATE TO THE ALPENA SHELTER!



Back in 1996 I went to the Alpena shelter and they saved me from a terrible abusive relationship. I met Yvonne Ellis (RIP) and she changed my life forever for the better.

Please donate to The Shelter HERE

"I bet. One of my dear friends died two months later of cancer and I miss her every day too. Thank goodness for your "hobbies", Kim! We all enjoy them."
