    I really would like to continue my 90-day reservation at Providence. Your staff has been instrumental in my speedy recovery as a victim of Auto Assault in 01/2018. I came to San Joaquin County to check on housing, get a car rental, and check in with my doctor. My Amtrak Bus did not get me to Stockton until 4:30 p.m. Unfortunately, it was too late to get a train back. I'd like to keep my bed and return tonight. Is that possible? I will wait for an answer. Thank you. (BTW, my phone is not charged at this time. I am @ the Public Library) Ms. Felicia
