The amount of love and special care my daughter receives from every person at Respite Care San Antonio is truly heartwarming. I was so scared to enroll her at just 8 weeks old, but I didn’t have another option at the time. Knowing what I know now, I would make that same decision over and over again without hesitation. My daughter is now 2½ years old and absolutely thriving. She knows every staff member by name, runs into their arms every morning, and talks about them at home when she’s not there. That alone says everything about the environment they’ve created. Her growth has been incredible. She has very strong communication skills, speaks in full sentences, knows her colors and shapes, and can name just about any animal. This is not just a daycare where children are left to play—this is a place of real, intentional learning. They provide structured, interactive activities throughout the day that truly support development. Beyond childcare, this center has supported our entire family.

I graduated from CWEP in 1994. I decided to google the program to see if it was still servicing the women and families in the community today. Completing the Basic Education and Social Service Program at Community Women Education Program was one of the most enlightening experiences of my life. It taught me the power of community and the importance of continuing education when I was at one of the lowest points of my life (transition from homelessness to independent living). Today, with your support and belief in me, I am a Master Level Social Worker and presently working as a Licensed School Social Worker. Thank you for continuing to be a support to the community, women and our families.

Very helpful and professional.. spoke with a representative that help with my daughter coat

NA'AMAT has been a part of my life since before I can remember. My mother and grandmother donated their time, money, and love for the causes NA'AMAT supports and represents. The fulfillment I, myself, have gained by growing my own involvement in this organization is unmatched. I have continued to be inspired by the women all over the world who are putting others first so that we may ALL have a better, brighter future. The dedication by all the volunteers and staff is consistent, whole-hearted, and admirable, to say the least. If you are looking for a cause that supports women, children and families, this organization is for you!

I felt the love and warmth of this organization from the moment I stepped through it's doors. Angels' Place truly embodies the nurturing, caring and helpful persona they've built over the last 40 years. The organization is truly a blessing and each individual who works here genuinely cares about the community they serve.

CAPC genuinely cares about the clients they serve and making a difference in the community!

Imagine if you will a black father to newborn twins looking for work to help support them. A professional with over 10 years of experience working with children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the public school setting, private school setting, clinical setting, and residential setting while also possessing the knowledge obtained from earning a master’s degree in special education along with a graduate certificate in applied behavior analysis. Imagine being accepted for hire at Jill’s House because of these experiences, qualities, and credentials only to later have your employment retracted because my children were born out of wedlock and because I choose to support their mother, whom I am not married to, by sharing a place of residence so that we all can support each other. Imagine a Jesus who doesn’t accept all. A Jesus who passes the judgement of man through lesser men. Imagine me, doing everything that I can to support my newborn twins by seeking employment that would have me joyfully helping the less fortunate in our unforgiving and unaccommodating society. And then to receive a phone call rather that proof-worthy documentation via email retracting my hire because of this standard of theirs that they choose to be judgemental, devisive, unwelcoming, and incredibly un-Jesus-like with. This is how Jill’s House represents Christianity. How unfortunate. W.W.J.D?

It has helped a lot in gaining experience and also being able to get classes done for us to gain star credits for our business.

We have been involved with Lionheart since its inception. I have served as an officer, donor, and investor because of the power way God is blessing children, families, staff and host churches. God planted the seed, many watered, and God made it grow. I can think of no better way for churches to reach their young neighbors. This is a highly scalable ministry that generates a high Eternal Rate of Return and has a powerful business model to fund 90% of what they do. Join us!

My husband and I fostered a preteen young lady from this organization from May 2023 to August 2024. We grew to love this child and worked hard to help her with her extensive trauma. We even wrote DCS in Nashville, Tennessee to advocate to get this precious child in therapy. She finally began therapy eight months after arriving to our house. My husband and I spent hours working with her to help her progress in her education, making calls to try to get her in therapy, and showing her a different way of life.<br><br>Toward the end of May 2024, after much prayer and conversation, we decided to not adopt this child. We have three grown children and thought this child would benefit from having someone that could focus solely on her and her trauma.<br><br>Our case manager, Jen Davis, began the foster journey with us regularly praising our efforts and thanking us for being so involved in helping this child. She told us she personally knew a perspective, adoptive family, and believed they would allow us to remain in the child’s life and even suggested us being called “aunt” and “uncle”.<br><br>Over the next two months, my husband and I reached out to try to meet the adoptive parents for dinner to let them know they had our full support. Over the last 14 months, we had developed such a close relationship with this child and knew her personality extremely well.<br><br>Jen kept leading us on to believe that the family would appreciate our support. Two weeks before our precious foster daughter left our home, Jen tells us that the new family, being pre-adoptive foster parents did not want to meet us and wanted to start with a brand new slate getting to know the child. You cannot take a child that is almost a teenager and want a new slate. This child has an established personality, likes/dislikes, and many other character traits.<br><br>Of course we were shocked, disappointed, and sad. The pre-adoptive family consists of a school principal and a guidance counselor. We concluded that they felt they did not need any additional information about the child. My husband and I, both being career professionals, did not want to tell the new family what to do. We simply wanted to help them make the process easier for the child.<br><br>It has been over three months since we’ve seen or heard anything about the child. We understand that we have no rights. Jen Davis should have never strongly indicated that we would be able to remain in the child’s life as a support system. We trusted her because she knew the family personally. She even said she told the family we should remain in the child’s life, but they chose otherwise.<br><br>We continue to pray for the child and hope that one day she will reach out to us. We have made the decision to transfer agencies. Once trust is broken, it is very difficult to continue to work with an agency. Especially one that has told us from the beginning and throughout the last year, that we were the child’s biggest advocates. Do your research before using this agency.

I've been a Turnstone member for a year now. The chair fitness classes are great! The instructors are friendly and helpful. My favorite is the warm water therapy pool! The balance class in the pool has helped me tremendously. The pool fitness class with weights is a perfect way to exercise while the warm water feels nice on the joints. I'm grateful to have a facility like Turnstone in our community. The staff truly does care for your well being.

Program was instrumental in helping me obtain my childcare license. Their step-by-step guidance made the entire process easier to navigate, breaking down complex requirements into manageable tasks. The coaching sessions were incredibly valuable, offering personalized advice and answering all my questions. The program also provided useful resources, from mock inspections to regulatory checklists, ensuring I was fully prepared for the licensing process. Thanks to GOFCC, I felt confident and ready, and I successfully earned my childcare license. I highly recommend this program to anyone pursuing a career in childcare.<br>

I began working with UMOM in 2007 when I joined the UMOM Auxiliary. We supplied volunteer help and did a fund raising luncheon each year. I am also a member of the Methodist Church women's group now called United Women in Faith. As a district officer for the group I volunteered to join the UMOM Board as an ex officio member. I can attest to the wonderful people who are employed at UMOM, the very professional UMOM Board Members. and the volunteers who work to end homelessness in the greater Phoenix area. In my time of volunteering for UMOM thousands of families and single women have been elevated out of homelessness and into affordable housing.

I was blessed to be able to sit on the Board of Directors for Brighton Center and learned so much about their programs and what they were doing for the children and their families. It is an amazing organization that sees every child with the ability to accomplish anything they choose to do no matter what their current situation may be. The entire team is dedicated to the success of these children and their families.

The Young Nonprofit Foundation not only serves the community opportunities but also cares deeply for the people within its reach. The Young Nonprofit Foundation helps its people by doing a food pantry (snack packs) that helped struggling families with canned goods and other food items they might not be able to afford. As a receiver and helper with the snack packs I got to see firsthand just how much the food pantry helped. Also, they provide the community employment opportunities such as helping with the food pantry, different events (charity fashion show), and others. Overall, The Young Nonprofit Foundation helped better the lives of myself and countless others.

Please DO NOT donate to this company. They embezzled 2 million dollars, probably more. Company is more concerned with lining pockets than caring for Children. What a scam!

WHALE's highly trained staff is ready to work with you and your child. WHALE wants to see your child thrive and they want to see you thrive!

Bethune is a charity that provides services for the total family and the Director is a good woman that loves her families and all the children.

Whenever children are brought up in conversation or community people always bring up Bananas, since I was a kid, a couple of decades before I became a provider. Bananas has provided me with resources, in my time of need. I am thankful for them and all they do for parents and providers. <br><br>I tried to add other photos, but it wouldn't allow me to; note stated that the files are to big.

El Campito is a phenomenal bilingual school and is vital part of the community in which it serves. The teachers and staff go above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of their student’s environment is safe, developmentally appropriate and engaging. <br>The staff at El Campito is respectful of individual differences, including: learning styles; cultural differences; points of view; and individual preferences. <br>The school has recently moved into a new building and the first thing you notice is how clean, bright and inviting the space is. Each child care room has huge windows letting in so much natural light for the kids. There are plenty of appropriate decorations and learning aids throughout each room. They place a high priority on quality student nutrition in the meals that are served. <br>Finally, the leadership has created a positive culture not only within the school setting but also with staff and families. The directors set high standards for family and community outreach. They also ensure that all staff receive appropriately training annually and are continuously furthering their knowledge base. <br>

Someone please steal this idea and replicate it in your community! It is just the best idea EVER, providing free child care and quality parenting resources to single parents who so desperately need it! Our family has known Jenny Johnson, whose brainchild POD is, for well over a decade and we have been blessed by her relentless pursuit of Jesus and His word and her enthusiasm in sharing the gospel with kids.

I was a resident of Saint Anne's from November of1979 to May of 1980 and that experience changed my life. I was 16, pregnant,homeless and scared. They taught us child care, lamaze, child birth, we had regular doctor appointments, counseling, social workers and attended high school. I had great friends there as I got there at approx 7 weeks along. I remember the list on the board as girls would go into labor and how excited we were for them. Sometimes it was heartbreaking when one of them wanted to keep her child but her family wouldn't allow it, or these young Warrior women who knew they wanted more for their child than a 16 year old girl could give them and although their heart was breaking they put that precious one up for adoption. <br>Saint Anne's was100 or more girls when I was there and a bed wasn't empty for long. <br>I promise you that if you were one of those babies put up for adoption your mother agonized about that decision for months, when she came back to the residence after giving birth to you she cried like only a broken hearted Warrior can, she remembers your birthday every year and on every one of your birthdays she whispers your birth name and remembers every second you were in her arms. I was not a Warrior. I was the girl who ditched school with 4 other girls so that we could lay out on the roof and tan in our maturity panties and those monstrous huge bras, I organized a giant toilet papering on the 2nd floor (everyone participated) and only myself and my roommate got docked $ for wasting the toilet paper, a Nun by the name of Sister Gerard had a serious disdain for my antics and made No secret of it. Oh but there was an angel by the name of Lady Tucker who I adored. This Angel was a beautiful Black woman who weighed 300 lbs, gave THE BEST HUGS and who would come in my room every morning with a "Girl you got to get up outta that bed before I sit myself down on your legs" Sometimes you couldn't breathe when she hugged you because she would squeeze you tight and her boobies would swallow up your head. I loved her. There was rarely a day when I didn't hear my name over the loud speaker "Paula Brandon, Paula Brandon please report to the house mothers office" We didn't do bad things just mostly silly teenager things and what a great place to become a young Mom. I had my oldest child, <br>a daughter and Now I'm the mother of 5 grown people who never cease to make me proud and the grandmother of 21...Sister Gerard would be shocked.<br>God Bless the good people who give their time, love and money to a place that has the ability to change generations of lives. If I can help anyone with information from my time there my email address is:<br>Paula.kristine.long@gmail.com <br>

I was looking for daycare for my grandkids and saw this facility and it brought back so many memories with Ms Jamie Johnson who had my children for over ten years and done an exceptional job with my children education behavior and Bible lessons. The were well taken care of and I was very satisfied with her and so were my kids. Even on weekends my kids wanted to go to Ms Jamie's. I see her from time to time and always ask her about starting daycare again. Love her.

Our son Sanda started at Idayimani Montessori at the age of 3 years in 2022. And it has been an absolute joy to watch him grow in his unique, curious, creative and independent personality. As parents who grew up in the traditional method of learning, it is quite an interesting journey to witness the Montessori method which focuses on the whole child development, mentally, emotional, physically etc. Sanda continues to be extremely curious about books, nature, animals, people, interesting critical thinking conversations etc a love for learning is developed. A great blessing that our son can be part of such a school with amazing teachers who pour out their heart in teaching and loving our kids....
