As it continues to heat up, let's make sure to prepare. When taking extended road trips, don't forget to take extra water and not just caffeine or sugar heavy drinks.

With high temperatures this week, please make sure you are drinking a lot of water, and make sure you know the warning signs of
HEAT EXHAUSTION and how to prevent it.

A great team!

At Amberly’s Place, our team is proud to wear purple to help raise awareness and stand in solidarity with victims of elder abuse.

Elder abuse can take many forms, physical, emotional, financial, or neglect, and it often goes unnoticed. Together, we can change that.

👉 If you see something, say something.
Protecting our seniors is a responsibility we all share.

We don’t normally share posts unrelated to the nonprofit community, but we stand with Cafecito in supporting the Labistre family.

If you’ve been in Yuma long enough, chances are you’ve met a member of the Labistre brood. Alicia Labistre (now Alicia Carr) has always been like a little sister to me and right now she needs our help. She’s a 35 year old loving mother of 5 and was just diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. These waters might be too rough for most to navigate but Alicia is a BAD MOTHER FU**ER. I’m asking Yuma to stand up and help this beautiful family that I love through this uphill battle.
Link is in bio. If you can’t donate please share and spread the word. Show everyone that Yuma gives a s**t. Yuma shows up. Yuma takes care of their own.
