Where it goes
Beds and the person who runs the house
| Gift | What it holds |
|---|---|
| $205 | One bed, one week, for a man whose first weeks are not yet paid |
| $820 | One bed for a month |
| $100 | One intake fee |
| Any amount | The house manager's wage — the paid, named person who answers for the house |
One published rate in every house, whoever pays. A gift does not buy a discount for anyone; it fills the gap for a man who would otherwise wait. That is how every man in the house is treated alike.
What you will not be asked for
No campaign. No countdown. No suggested amount that assumes what you can afford. One message a month on what actually moved, if you ask for it, and nothing otherwise.
