We are excited with the robust team the Lord is building at Protected Harbor. He faithfully continues to position us to serve an increasing number of His special people. Loretta Mottram states, “Robin and I are joined in providing forward-looking strategies and implementation during this exciting time.”
 
What an honor it is to serve at Protected Harbor! Since joining in January, I have advanced to the position of Executive Director, continuing my work with Loretta as I manage the day-to-day operations of our mission. This allows her to focus on other areas of importance such as donor engagement and development, executive and board coaching, forward vision, program development, marketing, and special events support.
 
We have an incredible team that continues to pour into the lives of those entrusted in our care with a consistent focus on making our ministry an even greater success. This includes our existing services, new ones recently initiated, and plans for more in the future.
 
Our clients are enjoying an amazing summer. From pool parties to park visits, there is never a dull moment at Protected Harbor for our clients, staff, and guests. As a united family we work, worship, celebrate, and pray together. God is so good!
 
We are thankful to all who shopped on Amazon and remembered us as your charity of choice on Prime Day. Please continue to check out our Wish List in the monthly Lighthouse News! Our clients and ministry are grateful for all who support us. We also ask that you prayerfully consider becoming a regular monthly donor by visiting our website. Each charitable gift we receive is a blessing used to reach and serve the growing number in need in God’s special community.
 
Robin Antone
Staff Spotlight: Bob Schubring
Bob Schubring has been a board member of Protected Harbor since its founding. He came to us from the world of business having worked as a project manager for a major general contractor in Collier County. Once Bob was introduced to the vision and ministry of Protected Harbor, he knew this was a call to service. His heart melts every time he sees the smiles and joy on the faces of our residents. His involvement is a special blessing.

When asked why he became involved, Bob’s simple answer is, “God told me to, is all I can say”. He affectionally refers to the residents as “the kids” and confesses having fallen in love with each of them. His wife, Pat, also gives her heart and service to Protected Harbor as a valued Friend of the Board.
Behind the Smiles: Meet Cleo
Cleo was one of the original residents of our first Protected Harbor home. In that role, she has developed deep friendships and paved the way for all newcomers. She feels this is truly her home and her friends are her family. She happily states, “When I came to Protected Harbor, my life changed for the better”. She is particularly grateful to the staff who help her develop new skills. Currently, Cleo is helping prepare meals and learning to cook new dishes.

She enjoys going for long walks outside with the other girls, chatting amiably about the day’s events and the many books she loves to read. In fact, she considers herself a true “bookworm”. Besides reading, Cleo loves watching classic black and white movies, often imagining herself as one of the characters, dressed in glamorous vintage clothing. Swimming is another passion of hers, declaring she can swim like a mermaid!
We are so grateful for the outpouring of support from our donors.  In response to the many calls we receive asking how you can help, we are continuing our Online Wish List.  Click the Contribution link on the left for a current list of items needed and desired for the homes.  Items are shipped directly to the homes making it even easier for those wishing to lend an extra hand of support.
