Question by sarah g: Lucas County Ohio Shelter homes for women?
I have a friend in need of a shelter home in Lucas County.Toledo Ohio. Any suggestions? She lost her children last year and now has no place to go. She is in need of immediate help. Somewhere that can help her get on her feet. She is afraid to ask anyone, so I decided to help. She is crashing here and there. She needs a program to help her get her kids back, and to help kick her drug addictions.

I am truly sorry to hear about your friend. She is blessed to have someone like you who is willing to help her get back on her feet.

My husband is on the board of the Erie Co. Safe Harbor shelter, and he suggested that I pass some basic Lucas Co. shelter info along to you, since you do not state specifically where in the county your friend is located.

Here is a link to shelters in OH broken down by each county:

If you sroll down you will find three options for Lucas County.

Granted, these are geared specifically toward abuse prevention, but any one of them will be able to help you find further info and all have hotline numbers listed.

Best of luck to your friend and to you in finding her help.

As Tyler’s parents started realized that his addiction was expanding and the outpatient program was not sufficient, they sent him to a rehab program at Glenbeigh, an affiliate of Cleveland Clinic, in June of 2011. He left the one-month program feeling optimistic. “He talked about his future,” his mother said. “He wanted to put it all behind him. He came home and said, ‘I weigh 225 pounds,’ which for him was more weight than usual. He was muscular and looked so good. He was staying busy while he was at Glenbeigh.” Tyler rode home from Glenbeigh with his mother and they spent the day together. His father spent a half hour with him after returning from the rehab facility and said he looked like his old son again. The first night home, July 21, 2011, Tyler was required to attend an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. His mother wanted to go with him, but he told her …
