Providence House, a nonprofit organization in Cleveland, calls itself a crisis nursery, a facility that provides emergency shelter care to children whose parents/guardians cannot care for them due to crises.
It’s the first of its kind in Ohio and one of the nation's longest-operating crisis nurseries.
By day, Charles Crabtree is a maintenance technician at Capital University, but within him beats the heart of an artist whose work is on display.
4 Paws for Ability is a facility in Xenia that trains service dogs for veterans, children and those with disabilities. Each dog is specifically trained to each person's needs. The organization matches 12 service dogs annually.
We'll get to know all of these people on this edition of Fascinating Ohio.
