Transitions wants to make WRAP (Women’s Residential Addiction Program) House feel a lot more like home for residents.
After 24 years of helping women in recovery, WRAP House is in dire need of repairs and updates. The programs that meet the needs of women trying to recover already strain the tight budget that covers daily operating costs, and donations are imperative if the organization is improve its dated building.
Transitions has a grant in place to update WRAP’s common living areas, but it’s the bedrooms – the private spaces where residents reside – that need help too. The goal is to make these rooms a tranquil place for clients to work on their recovery and retire to at the end of the day.
Transitions would like to replace the metal institutional-type bunk beds with warm wood and new bedding, to make the women feel welcome and comfortable. This will go a long way to improve their mental state, as they prepare for the struggle to find their place in a life of recovery.
The organization is asking the members of the community and local businesses to help us in the endeavor and Adopt a Bedroom.
A contribution of $2,000 includes a plaque with your name, your company’s or business’s name, or an “In Honor of …” or “In Memory of …” dedication of your choice. For those who would like to participate, but can’t contribute on their own, Transitions is offering the ability to create a campaign with Network for Good and encourage family and friends to join you in the Adopt a Bedroom project.
This facility houses 46 women in 17 bedrooms. It is estimated the cost-per-room for a complete update is $2,000, which includes:
• New beds and mattresses $1,100
• Linens, pillows and comforters $250
• Painting and repair $500
• Window treatments $100
• Dedication plaque $50
With a little grant money and donated labor, Transitions has managed to paint and make a few updates in the common living areas, and these small changes have made a noticeable improvement in both staff and resident morale.
Once these updates were completed, the women in the house asked if there was going to be any work done to the bedrooms. Transitions hopes that improving the rooms will have an even more positive effect than the improvements to the common areas.
