MARYSVILLE – Lenora Bruce acts as if it is a miracle how Saint Joseph’s House operates.
Getting started
When Bruce was a single mom with six kids she was helped by the Saint Francis House in Puyallup. She said she made a promise to God if He helped raise her kids and keep them out of jail.
Growing pains
Marisa Olmstead was hired about a year ago to help the house raise money. She wrote a grant to the Tulalip Tribes, which provided some funding. They also had a Bingo fundraiser, and are having a dinner-auction April 23. The Seahawks, Mariners, Aquasox and Scuttlebutts have all donated items.
