These ladies have a passion for making reading fun and improving literacy for the children in Alabama. They informed us that literacy is a problem for children at all economic levels because of devices. It's not just lower-income children facing the issue. They started by placing reading packets in the courtrooms for children to work on. But they're not stopping there. They want to put these packets in any place where children have to 'wait' with their parents. A perfect opportunity to encourage kids to read with fun packets! Get more info at https://shortthesquirrel.com/Or email contact@shortthesquirrel.com------------------------Do you receive our FREE weekly list of top events happening in the Mobile Bay area?  If not, get it here:  https://themobilerundown.com/getitWant to become a partner/supporter/hero of the Rundown?https://themobilerundown.com/heroSupport the show

The families and members of NAMI Mobile can help.  They offer understanding to anyone concerned about mental illnesses and the treatment of mental illness.Mental illnesses are brain disorders that are biologically based medical problems. Untreated, they can cause severe disturbances in thinking, feeling and relating. This results in substantially diminished capacity for dealing with the ordinary demands of life. Mental illness can affect persons of any age and occur in any family. They are not caused by bad parenting and not evidence of weakness of character.Connect with NAMI at: https://namimobile.org/------------------Do you receive our FREE weekly list of top events happening in the Mobile Bay area?  If not, get it here:  https://themobilerundown.com/getitWant to become a partner/supporter/hero of the Rundown?https://themobilerundown.com/heroSupport the show

The pathway to sobriety is difficult with even the most caring and constant support structures.  Imagine the difficulties for those who are trying to break the chains of addiction only to find that the doors to those support structures are closed to them.  That's the reality for many in our hometown who have been told that the labels attributed to them make them ineligible for what should be an equal opportunity to get the help needed on the path to sobriety.  They have been asked to deny who they are in order to have a chance at a life free from Substance Use Disorder.  Shame is not a starting point for successful living in recovery.Within the structure of the Twelve Steps, Door To Serenity is being created to address the needs of those who seek our help on their road to recovery.  Without respect to race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity, Door To Serenity welcomes the under-served who have tried unsuccessfully to address the pain of living through Substance Use Disorder and want to start a new chapter. ​Established as a 501 (c) (3), ​​Door To Serenity is open to the support, financial or in-kind, from those who share the vision of unfettered access to the help we offer.  We encourage all who visit us here to spread the word that there is a ray of hope for the disenfranchised and the possibility of living in recovery may be only a phone call away.  Our calling is to love without limit and to serve without judgment. Find more info at:  https://www.doortoserenity.org/-----------------------Do you receive our FREE weekly list of top events happening in the Mobile Bay area?  If not, get it here:  https://themobilerundown.com/getitWant to become a partner/supporter/hero of the Rundown?https://themobilerundown.com/heroSupport the show
