Hello Rob, I just clicked on the Forum button today and have been reading many of the comments and questions. I can totally identify with where you are and your frustration. I am there myself often but I keep telling myself to focus on the reason why I am here and the difference that I can make for the residents. When you have an advocates heart it can become difficult because you want so much for the residents. I agree that if you have needs for the residents that can be met through donations, see if you can find some people willing to do that. Remember to take care of yourself and practice not taking on what you can't control. Your residents are blessed to have someone like you because you are jewel. May you continue to make a difference!!
