Colleen's Lifelines

Here's a belated story about the first day our Lifemobile got "rolling" on November 17, 2010:

Our driver parked the Lifemobile in the parking lot across the J Street entrance to Sacramento State University.  It was a beautiful Fall day and our counselor got all the information set out on a table outside the Lifemobile.  The very first visitor was a 60+ year old woman who came by to ask if this clinic provided dental care for senior citizens.  Our counselor replied, "No, we're a pregnancy clinic."  The visitor got angry about all the services young people get, and was especially angry that young people don't give her their seat on the light rail.  Shortly after that, a woman drove up in her car and said she heard on the radio that the Lifemobile's "inaugural" run was that day; she went out of her way to come by and give us a wonderful donation to support the great work that the Life Center provides the community.  Shortly after that, our first client, a college student came by.  And that's how we started!!!
