Las Vegas Optic article add-on that was not included in the write up interview yesterday I had with Las Vegas Optic I feel is important to clarify.

1st, not CAN or COULD HELP pay off debt, WILL pay off debts.

2nd, important not mentioned the COVID loan was taken out in 2020. Private loan was in 2019. You cannot seek Government Grants with a Government Debt. The other private debt we can work through as we have been but I want both paid off soonest and start fresh. If you connect the dots, you can see this is well before my time but we will fix it.

3rd, we have a great relationship with City of Las Vegas Leadership. I have had a few meetings lately with Mayor Romero and his team and they are great. We will help do our part to support his agenda as well. Also, we have been building a stronger relationship with San Miguel County Leadership and I am excited about it!!

4th, our hours of operations have not been any different than the summers before. Winter is here and we are adjusting as normal.

5th, We have great support from our Rep Anita Gonzales and funding is coming our way thanks to her soon.

6th, We have great relationships now with all organizations that were nonexistance prior to us taking over with NMCEH, KrossRoads, Villa Therese Clinic, La Fonda Foundation, Santa Fe Community Foundation, 4th DIstrict Court, Dept Workforce Solution, NM State, NM Congressional Federal Grants Coordinator, LV Community Foundation, Food Depot, Soup Kitchen, JC Pizza, Walmart, Lowes to name a few.

Try to avoid listening to the rumors created by certain groups and people on social media or in the news. Stop by and see me if you have questions, want to help or ideas. Happy to sit down and have a respectul Adult conversation anytime. I started life well before Social Media and believe doing things in person. Thanks Michael

While a local group has expressed concern over the decision to sell the building in which the Samaritan House operates, the shelter’s executive director says the sale is a sound

This is a little late getting out. I thought I posted them. My apologies. I want to thank our local barbers and hair stylist professionals for taking care of our guest giving haircuts. It means the world to our guest. Having a haircut and feeling good is so crucial and you all made it possible.

Thank you SO MUCH Highland Church (and Joy for your tasty salsa and chips) for your wonderful donations today - hygiene bags and food. Our guest will love them. We are so happy to have you as part of our team in helping all those in need.

We also want to THANK and GRATEFUL to Kane's for bringing cheeseburgers and Charlie's for the Lasagna Friday dinner. Everyone loved it all and ate with happiness. You are all amazing!!!

We are super excited to share some great news. It is something that has been in the works for the last year for our guest we serve and for LV!!!

Villa Therese Clinic in Santa Fe is NM's only free clinic and provides medical, dental, and vision care for no cost to their patients, with no requirements or questions asked.

This year they launched their MOBILE CLINIC for medical and vision services throughout all of NM. We will be working with Villa Therese Clinic to set up a schedule.

Also, Nov 7th or 8th Samaritan House is hosting Villa Therese Clinic and La Fonda Foundation to provide a resource summit in Las Vegas.

This summit will include resources such as:

• Enrollment in Medicaid, low-income home energy, WIC, Snap, food, and cash assistance programs
• Information and enrollment for student academic tutoring
• Information about adult education and free college
• Immunizations
• Medical screenings (A1c, lipid testing, and provider visits)
• Vision Screenings (includes a pair of free glasses)
• Gun locks
• Food boxes
• Children’s books
• And much more

Still planning the date - November 7th or 8th either at Highlands University or Presbyterian Church. Stay tuned.
