has launched the public phase of its $13 million “Rooted in Recovery, Growing in Hope” campaign to expand its women's residential center in Grand Chute. The expansion adds 26,000 square feet to the 10,000-square-foot building, and Apricity will also move its employment program from Neenah to the site.

I wonder when it became a crime to ask for help if you need help?

“The lack of caring, in my opinion, is sad. Maybe I'm too gullible, maybe I'm naive....but I like to think that people who ask for help genuinely need the help. ps - I have deleted any posts that I made asking for help. We will figure things out on our own.”
