I have had the privilege of working with HOPE as a community provider for a few years. From the first day of introduction until now, this organization and leadership team has been professional, consistent and intentional with executing the company's mission. Through HOPE's outreach, lives have been changed, are being changed and will continue to be changed for generations to come. I can personally acknowledge that this company lives up to it's name, HOPE. Thanks for all you do and may you all continue to instill HOPE in all who crosses your path.

My experience at We Are Living Proof – Gainesville, GA was very negative. Staff told me I only needed to attend some weekday meetings and that weekend meetings were not required. Later, leadership denied this and treated me as noncompliant despite me following what I was told. That conversation occurred in a program transportation van with cameras. When I asked for the footage for my attorney, I was told I could not access it and that the cameras do not record audio, which contradicted what a staff member had previously shown me. Both my attorney and I attempted to contact the program and were ignored. I also had serious issues accessing my prescribed medication. Even after repeatedly informing staff that my medication was at the apartment complex front office—and explaining I was experiencing severe anxiety and depression—it was not retrieved until the director became involved. My interactions with the director,joe, were consistently unprofessional and disrespectful.check attachments

Hello! My name Kelli Kimbrell. I have been in We Are Living Proof since November 2020. I have a year clean from all mind altering substances since September 25th 2020. This program has absolutely saved my life. I am so grateful for this new way of life. The staff is absolutely wonderful! Especially David Hunt, Amy Walters, Chris Burns, Ellie Hammett, Randy Craft, and Christy Nemeth! I love them so much. Amazing people. They truly want what’s best for you.

I have had the most unique experience with this agency, first as a resident in 1997 , as a volunteer, board member and for the last 8 years a member of their staff. <br>What makes this agency strong and different from others that work with homeless families, the fact they have a heart for those they serve and place the families above all else. What other agency's do you know that spend eighty cents on the dollar towards families and twenty cents towards administrative costs. <br> <br>When I came into this program I was at the lowest point in my life with two small children 2 year & 8 months old, and pregnant with my third. They did not judge me, but instead supported me and provided the tools I needed to become the mother and women God has designed me to become. <br>Becoming homeless was not my goal, but I no longer hold my head down in shame regarding that chapter in my life and I am proud to say I once was in this program. <br> <br>

I’ve been a monthly donor to Planned PEThood for a while now, and what really stands out to me is their focus on prevention, not just reacting to problems, but actually working to stop them before they start. They’ve been doing this work for over 15 years, and you can see the impact. From low-cost spay/neuter (both at their clinic and through their mobile unit) to affordable vet care and free vaccine clinics, everything they do is about making care accessible and keeping animals healthy and out of shelters. I also really appreciate their work with community cats through TNVR, as well as their foster and adoption efforts. It’s clear they’re not just providing services, they’re thinking about the bigger picture: reducing pet overpopulation, keeping families together, and preventing unnecessary suffering. As a donor, it feels good to support an organization that’s practical, mission-driven, and focused on real, long-term solutions.

First Foundation Kids Organization work stands out. Having volunteered for a period of fifteen months with the agency, I have seen the work of the agency and the boys and girls that comes through the organization for support. They are turning around challenging kids into more productive kids. I love each time I spend with the kids with their schoolwork. I definitely will recommend the organization to any agency or persons looking to support their efforts.

BJS allows their management companies to treat residents like crap with constant bullying with threats of lease terminations and/or violations. The organizations or administrations that fund these senior projects never follow up to see how residents are being treated. The cities and counties provide little or no support to address the concerns of seniors in the communities. Often the go to is “just move.” However, accountability for numerous contructions issues and violations. The units are not public housing even though some May received a little tax credit ar times, no different from the builders. It just poor business. <br>So governments when you are having these newsy ground breaking ribbon cutting, please inquire about he potential treatment of the seniors and citizens if your community.

I'v had the good fortune to work with this orgnaization on and off for over 15 years. As a mortgage lender with a career built entirely around meeting the needs of first time homebuyers, I've had ample opportunity to work with Southeastern Housing when they have people ready to make the leap to homeownership.<br><br>The preparation with the potential homeowner to be 'fiscally ready' (both financially and mentally) has already occurred through the indiviualized guidance received from the Foundaton. Many times the Foundation will refer these future homeowners to us to offer a plan to address their credit needs to become 'mortgage ready'. We construct the plan, but the Foundation helps the client effect the plan.<br><br>I endorse the Foundation for inclusion in the 'top rated list' as I believe they have successfully helped numerous low- to moderate-income households achieve their dreams of homeownership.<br><br>Warren Alcorn<br>Team Lead- Alcorn Mortgage Team<br>

Our family loves Mosaic Georgia! We are very proud to have such an organization in our community!<br>

I have had the pleasure of knowing Mutima Jackson-Anderson and witness her calling in life. Mutima started the foundation in honor of her beloved mother Ms. Ruby. Mutima decided to honor her Mom in an extraordinary way by becoming a teacher, advocator, motivator and help to prevent this dreaded disease. From the moment Mutima started the foundation she has not slowed down. In just a few short years she has taken her brainchild from a community outreach to a well respected organization in the healthcare community. Mutima has been asked to attend and speak at various symposiums that not only benefit her, but benefits the people she tirelessly works to educate and assist. What makes Mutima different from a lot of leaders of organizations is her drive, love and passion to help and prevent others from this disease. She doesn't just talk the talk, she most certainly walks the walk everyday. Her dedication to finding the healthiest foods and also incorporating cooking classes with a chef to further educate the community speaks to her mission. She hasn't stopped at diet she also included exercise classes. Even if they're low impact she stresses the importance of getting the body moving. I am always so impressed with her dedication to helping others and zeal for them to build and live healthier lifestyles. I think a lot of people aren't aware of the impact of how they take care of themselves, eating and exercising is in direct correlation to their health. It seems obvious, but its not obvious for everyone. The Ruby A Neeson Diabetes Awareness Foundation Inc. bridges that gap by teaching about diet, exercise and putting health first. Its amazing to watch Mutima Jackson-Anderson and see her put her calling into action. Mutima started the foundation in honor of her beloved mother Ms. Ruby.

I have worked with the Allen Rossum Healthy Kids Klub for over 5 years and it is truly a remarkable organization, dedicated to serving and educating youth about the dangers of obesity. The HKK provides youth with fantastic programming and tools to help fight obesity and live significantly healthier lifestyles. The ED is amazing and reaches many youths who would otherwise not learn about the value living a health-concious and substance-free life.
