August 2023

This place felt very uncomfortable as you arrived. Fence was falling down there was stuff everywhere. We felt as if we’re invading someone personal home. The fridge was full of stuff that there was no room for what we brought. The bathroom was full of personal items. Personal medication were out. There were no sheets on one bed. The curtains kept the place very dark.
