We were visiting SW NP's & with the gov't shutdown, none of the visitor centers were open. While at…read moreSaguaro NP, I searched for places to get NP souvenirs & the store in Oro, AZ came up. The staff were so nice, were very helpful & went out of their way to help us. The store had a great selection of NP merchandise, as well as authentic items. We bought many items both as souvenirs and gifts. Additionally, the gentleman that worked there suggested we stop at Chiricahua NM on the way back home. Both staff members spent time with us, gave us info & I have to say....it was an amazing suggestion! We couldn't believe how beautiful it was & we would never had known about it if it wasn't for them taking the time to tell us about it. We are so happy that we found this store & now know about the website. I highly recommend it.

Now here's the real tippity tip - if you're ever bored on a Saturday in Tucson, you can sign up for various (free) events here. We went today to watch a 70 minute video that a couple made of their travels to the Arctic and it was quite well done! The couple was there to introduce themselves and answer questions at the end, but the movie they made was played on a massive HD TV. NOTE- you have to sign up for these events in advance and they do fill up. You literally have to call and reserve your spot right when they open up. We tried to reserve spots for next weeks "an armchair walking tour of Tucson" and it was already all booked.

Next, there are shelves of dry goods and the cold chiller to choose items. I love it that I have been offered a bouquet of fresh flowers. Then, there is a huge box of canned goods to pick from. To the left of the warehouse are grocery items to purchase. Most items are well below store prices. Between each of the sides, there are large boxes that may have stuffed animals, bottled beverages, pet supplies, and so on. The GAP Ministries takes both cash and SNAP cards. I have always found the staff to be polite and helpful. I'm truly grateful for this service.

I've walked by Re-Threads, the resale clothing store for Our Place, many times when they were…read moreclosed. I recently decided to check it out & SO glad I did. It's a small shop but what it lacks in quantity, it more than makes up for in quality, cleanliness, and a beautiful selection of Men's and Women's clothes. No sifting through junk - it's all great stuff. The dollar rack outside is well worth perusing. I found a soft all-cotton t-shirt there that I absolutely love. Inside, I got a couple of "finds", and went back for a couple more. Staff is friendly & helpful. I plan on checking out ReThreads on a regular basis now.

After the past few months, I had to come back to update this and hopefully help people avoid this…read moreplace if it's not a necessity. 1) Luckily, the retaliatory false CPS report they filed after I fired the case worker was quickly found to be unsubstantiated and closed. If I did not happen to be someone who keeps extensive records to immediately disprove the report point-by-point, that could have truly been a nightmare and caused substantial additional trauma for my daughter. The experiences with Casa did, unfortunately, make her very wary of mental or behavioral health services. 2) I am amazed and endlessly grateful to see the positive changes that have occurred since she stopped getting "help" from the Casa workers. Her confidence and activity levels have soared, she's so much less fearful and depressed and anxious and confused and isolated all the time. I truly wish I would have trusted my own knowledge and instincts and not let these "professionals" keep making my daughter and I feel like they know more about us and what we should do and feel and think than we do. I guess there's some silver lining out of this nightmare. I am thankful that, if nothing else, it definitely made us closer. It's hard for most teenagers to recognize what their parents do for them and appreciate it and see how much we care about them, but after seeing how awful and manipulative and biased and self-serving the employees were, it was really a wake up call for her. She's so much more appreciative and grateful and motivated for both the present and the future now. So I guess at the end of the day, Casa de los Ninos did help us, but unfortunately, it was through the damage caused by their professional incompetence, agenda-pushing, overreaching, undermining, and boundary-crossing.
