Halt Judge Wollscheid's Defunding Of Second Chance- A Lifeline For The Community

The Issue

Second Chance is more than just a non-profit organization; it is a beacon of hope for the homeless and indigent people in Washington Court House. This personal story illustrates its importance: when an elderly lady confined to a wheelchair was evicted from her residence, she had nowhere to go. The police department called upon Second Chance, who promptly funded a motel room for her until she could secure other living arrangements.

This organization provides daily meals for those struggling with poverty and homelessness. It offers free clothing, furniture, and household goods through public donations. Services such as tax preparation are also provided at no cost.

However, this lifeline is under threat due to Judge Wollscheid's decision to progressively defund the organization. From receiving $4,000 per month that helped them operate effectively, their funding has been slashed down to $1,000 by May/June this year.

Second Chance plays an irreplaceable role in our community; its loss would be devastating for those who rely on it every day. We must stand together against this defunding decision and ensure that Second Chance continues its vital work in our community.

Please sign this petition today to halt Judge Wollscheid's defunding of Second Chance - because everyone deserves one.
