St. Louis

Journal 2 This week I was able to do a small site visit when I turned in my paperwork. Unfortunately, I was not able to see where they kept the children because my background check and other important information had not yet been processed, but I was still able to get a good idea of what volunteering at the St. Louis Crisis Nursery will be like.

monumental occasion for the entire world, and St. Louis was no exception. The city found itself struggling to survive during the 1930s; unemployment reached upwards of 35 percent, production was half of its 1929 levels, and countless people went homeless or hungry during the depression. St. Louis and its organizations did what they could to alleviate the pressure of the nationwide crisis, but they all fell short for giving substantial aid to its residents; the $68 million brought into the city…
