We made the drive again to UAMS on Saturday, October 26th, to Little Rock, Arkansas. The trip from home to Little Rock was uneventful except for two delays due to road construction. We arrived after dark and it was raining but we found our apartment without much trouble. We are staying in the same apartment complex as we did the last two times but this time, we are in a different apartment. The last two times we were here, we had a two-bedroom apartment but this time, we only have a single. It is nice and just what we need. We actually like this apartment more than the one we had when we were here before. It is also $140 cheaper per month than the one we had before. This apartment is one of 13 that are leased in an apartment complex by the Little Rock Church and they rent them to UAMS patients. This ministry is called "Home Away From Home". I am so thankful they do this and we were able to get one of the apartments again. I just don't know what we would have done if we had to stay in a hotel room for this extended period of time. When we arrived, they had a welcome note on the table along with two goody bags filled with different items we might need. One of the items was even handmade.There was also a casserole in the freezer, and today a group from the church delivered a container of homemade soup to each Home Away From Home apartment. One of the little girls in the group had made me a card that had a prayer on it. I am so thankful there are caring people like this in the world.
Our address this time is:
Northwest Hills Apartments
11701 Mara Lynn Road
Apartment 228
Little Rock, AR 72211

The apartment program sounds so nice! I was wondering how you could get different apartments each time without getting it for a year (or normal rent period of time).
ReplyDeleteThe people with "Home Away From Home" sound like Angels. So sweet.
Thanks for keeping your blogs each time. It's nice to know that you're okay.
