I have stayed at the shelter in the past, had a very accepting and comfortable experience. I would really like to be contacted about possible transitional living housing as I am contesting my guardianship, but the guardian is sending me to a home in Chippewa county until then, instead of Marathon County, which is where my hometown Wausau is.
