I had to drug test today & I always have to pay for the tests which kinda sucks. We're allowed to ask our P.O. for a voucher though so I tried that today. She put in 10 vouchers for me! I didn't even ask for that, I only hoped for one.
For some reason her words of encouragement mean a lot to me. I've heard so many bad stories about people struggling on probation but honestly my experience has been great so far. My P.O. is awesome, talking to her always feels like talking to a family member. It's like she's one of my tia's or something ("tia" is "aunt" in Spanish. It's just the term I'm accustomed to)
Sorry I know most people don't care about this stuff but I just appreciated it so much

My half sis is PO. Last winter I was with her and it was like 5am she stopped for coffee and saw one of her "cases", she just called him one of her guys, sitting outside. She got him coffee and gave him money for a bus and called someone to get him help ASAP as he was mentally ill and wasn't able to keep a job or a place. People were looking at us weird but I was so proud of her. She was off duty taking me to the hospital.
There are good people out there. They truly care and believe in people. I know she's seen a lot of bad, but she still believes in the good.
You're a good person and clearly an amazing dad trying to set things right. I'm glad you have a PO with compassion to help you through the process.
