Corona Nonprofits and Charities

African Youth Development and Health Foundation (AYDH) works in disadvantaged communities in the US and in Africa. The 'Spark of Wisdom' project is the most recent work undertaken by AYDH in the US. I will describe this project as an attempt to bridge intergenerational gap through reading, as well as foster knowledge transfer from seniors to children. The backpack project is also a brilliant intervention that supports the distribution of backpacks to disadvantaged children whose parents struggle to make this available to them. These are just two of the many interventions done by the foundation in the US. <br> <br>In Africa, AYDH works on key development issues - Education and Health. Through the health program, they have been able to provide hospital, medical supplies, and trained and qualidied medical personnel in poor rural communities. With this intervention, AYDH has not only succeeded in alleviating health issues in some rural communities in Ghana, the hospital also provides employment opportunities for medical personnel who are paid by the foundation. On education, AYDH supports schools and student's with teaching and learning materials. This intervention is an incentive for teachers, and a motivation for parents to send their children to school. The provision of school supplies helps reduce financial burden on rural women and men who have to struggle to make school supplies available to their children. Schools are also able to provide minimum teaching materials to teachers through this intervention <br> <br>I am extremely proud of AYDH's work in communities - touched the lives of people in communities. With continued funding AYDH will be able to do more intervention in communities in the US and in Africa. <br> <br> <br> <br>

My few years with this organization has been nothing short of exemplary. The staff is sincerely in their pursuit of furthering music education, they are professional in their approach and decorum and the opportunities I and my students have been given to advance our musical education and career have been plentiful and mutually beneficial to me, my students and the organization.

An unbelievably caring and dedicated organization that truly is for the people. I've not only experienced the impact of their work firsthand, but have also witnessed the support they have given to others. Sepsis Survivors has been an integral part of the increasing awareness of sepsis, a condition that impacts far too many lives each year. In the short amount of time since their founding, their reach is already worldwide, focused on the common goal of providing support for sepsis survivors and their families, as well as raising awareness to save more lives.

Three reviews 16 months ago not one review since. This is not what it appears to be. I needed help..a second chance so to speak. None of that was to be had..not for me anyway. I did my research to see if this organization would be a great fIt. The website spoke of empowerment and life skills, job readiness and caring mentors whom are available to assist you with problems to include social and transportation in making and setting appointments. I thought that I'm on my way and this organization was going to help me because they really cared. None of that is true. This organization houses up to 8 residents in a run down house in a undesirable part of town. You can't just walk up and say that you're homeless. You must be referred by a primary organization and you need to be between the ages of 18-24! The "mentors" they hire come out of a pool of workers thru the local welfare office. All they do is clean clean clean and cook one meal (dinner) a day. A second meal is cooked on weekends. Monday thru Friday we needed to be out of the house by 930am and do not return until 4pm. Rat invested with rats freely running about, leaving their feces within the pots and pans and food along with black mold under the kitchen sink, holes in walls, doors that don't fit or lock and workers who are available if you wake them up. There were a few good ones while I was there...trying to make it better, but the owner always stopped any improvements they were trying to incorporate. I was told my meds were not logged in and when the worker went for intake paperwork every residents file was placed together. I asked about an ROI A RELEASE OF INFORMATION) they had no clue as to what I meant. I don't know if this is the only area that Ms Johnson operates (from her phone) regardless of its one or 10 DBH and county guidelines need to be followed and they are not at all. Place needs to be shut down. Bring in a homeless shelter that does what it promises to do. Empowerment my behind. It's only helping the ones at the top.

Great organization concerned with not only helping men women and children now but also working to change systems that marginalize communities. We have assisted hundreds of families turn their lives around. We believe it's never too late to start over.

I was at a point in my life ready to give up. Tired of trying all kinds of traditional therapy, but always felt I couldn't fully express how I felt or even safe to say how I felt. Dandelion Wishes gave me a safe environment to express things I didn't know were pushed down inside of me. Safe place to be real, vulnerable and to begin to heal. Because of what DW did for me I want to do for others.

I have 5 children whom I had to separate because after my son caught covid-the entire household caught it leaving me without money to pay for my rent so I lost our condo and we moved in with my mom in Orange County. We Didnt just leave corona we left our life behind and I had no choice but to separate my kids into different homes because I am sleeping on her couch and there’s no room. I have always held 2 jobs to stay above water and my x husband stopped paying me child support and spousal support Because he knew since the courts were closed I couldn’t do anything about it. So I am asking for a little help in finding a home so I can have my kids under 1 roof and not in 1 tent. You never think things like this will ever happen to you and when they do it changes a persons mindset it strengthens a family and by far and most importantly I have to believe and trust that I will be heard and that one day I will be helped because this is gods plan and within time I was helped... and now I help others in the same situation.

Thank for your continued support in the local community with schools, adults, seniors and just showing and living the arts. I grew up across the street from Gaye Voegle who was a huge supporter and great artist herself our family still has pieces she created. After reading your page and seeing your location during the recent elections I felt I need to support the group and the cause. We are donating this time to Honor my sister on what would be her birthday with a group MMMF that was created to honor both my sisters and help foster youth in our areas.

As a volunteer on the U.S. side of this charity, I can say with conviction that this charity directs 100% of its profits to those in need in Ambon, Indonesia. Every week, new people in Ambon arise with needs that no one else seems to care about. I have witnessed orphanages and houses for widows in Indonesia being neglected by their own government, and children with tumors the size of their limbs who have neglected cancer treatment for so long because they do not have the means or the medical technology to receive the help they need. Every DAY, the volunteers in Ambon and Jakarta report back to the directors of the charity with the exact numbers of where the funds have been allocated. I am proud to volunteer for a charity that is so open and centered on Christ.
