I’m forever grateful for the incredible support and work with my daughter the past 3 school years. She has been thriving since day one and continues to be pushed in a genuine academic direction that public school never gave her.

I was feeling low after my dad passed away. We were due for a big frost las fall, so I had to rip out my whole garden. It was way more than my family could use. I made a call to the FISH dining room, and was told in a very cheerful manner they would be happy to have the produce. When I arrived, I was warmly greeted by two staff members. There were warm and welcoming smiles from the clients, as well. It made me feel loved on a very hard day.

Working with their founder, Genevieve, was an amazing experience. To see the passion and love put behind this organization, you know that they are truly invested in helping people and their pets. Living in San Francisco, I see daily the impact that these animals have on their partner's lives. That bond of friendship is irreplaceable. To have an organization like this out there right now, doing this work for so many vulnerable people, is truly a godsend. Everyone needs to know about the incredible work that this organization is doing - saving and improving lives every single day.

I have been trying for weeks to settle a dispute with your organization regarding a charge that was added to an invoice which had already been paid in full. I have been told half a dozen times I would be called back regarding a billing dispute and none have done so yet. Even my MRI report was incorrectly written and I was told by the writer it would be redone and forwarded to me which it has not. I was told by the person - Danielle whom I paid my bill that it was PAID IN FULL. The supervisor whom I contacted before service was performed also told me the full charges which I would pay. There were no additional services performed outside what my physician ordered. Yet this company seems to think they can later tell you all fees quoted are estimates and get away with it. How would you like to order a burger from a restaurant only to be told at the front door it was only an estimate and you still owe us more money? I would like someone whom can take care of my issue to contact me. A1721200430

It was AEDV's visit to the Western Nevada College nursing school in the Spring of 2009 when they spoke to our class regarding the program to educate us on domestic violence as future nurses. They passed brochures around the class and it was at that time I took one as it came around and hid it in my binder as they were circulating because I knew it was only a matter of time that I would need to inquire about my options. Seven months later I finally found my way to the shelter. Please continue to inform nursing students about what AEDV does because it was invaluable not only to myself personally but as a RN in my interactions with abused clients.

This amazing hands on learning school has the most incredible staff. It is truly a family that has nurtured, as well as educated, my son for the last seven years. His education went far beyond book knowledge, and really helped form who he is and who he will become. Reinforcing the values taught at home, Mrs Daniels and her staff teach their students real life skills as well as how to become socially responsible, helpful, creative individuals. An amazing learning environment led by the most remarkable, untiring, caring, and brilliant individuals I have ever met, Mrs Daniels. CCMS's legacy will be in everything my son accomplishes in his future.

Nevada Public Education Foundation (NPEF) has proven to be a real asset to the children of Nevada. The work of NPEF to create the Community Compact really brought key members of the northern Nevada community together in a way that has never been done before. The results of this incredible initiative are already coming to fruition and we are excited to see the long-term impact on our schools. I am proud to count NPEF as a strong ally with Washoe County School District as we move forward with our reform agenda.

These birds need help and anyone who does this type of work can use any help available. I have birds from a rescue site and they are like a family member now. The Hyacinth is an endangered bird and here in the U.S. people just do not understand what is hapening to many species of animals. It is very hard to do rescue of animals, but birds require much more than animals such as dogs and cats. I personaly had 13 birds at one time and it is very expensive and time consuming. We had 30 birds come up for adoption in one month but had no room to keep them.

I collaborated with the Ron Wood Family Resource Center at their offices to offer two summer classes for teens on transitioning into adulthood. My co-teachers (one from Ron Wood; one from a State agency) presented the material in a way that intrigued the youth. They made sure our students knew about several other resources available through the community. They made the class a safe, fun, engaging place to learn about the rights and responsibilities that come with adulthood. (The Ron Wood Center also provided refreshments, which was just plain awesome!) <br> <br>The Ron Wood Family Resource Center offers many other services. I've seen schedules for other classes (nutrition, breast-feeding, early childhood development, etc.); I've seen families get groceries; I've seen teens get help applying for college admissions, financial aid, and internships.

When I first came to Carson, staff members at the Rural Center for Independent Living (RCIL) and Do Drop In Center helped me to find housing. Dee Dee, the director, went with me to tour apartments. I immediately found one that suited my needs, and she helped me to convince a landlady that, though I don't make much money, I would still be an upstanding tenant. I got the place! I'm very happy with the assistance from Do Drop In/RCIL - I was treated with respect and dignity and given optimism. I get the impression that Dee Dee and the other staff and volunteers sincerely care about their clients. <br> <br>My line of work is related to the work done at RCIL/Do Drop In, so I've visited several times since then. Over the past two years, Dee Dee and others at the RCIL/Do Drop In have trained me as an advocate and introduced me to other agencies and advocates in the community. <br> <br>I'd like to add that clients have access to a clean, fully stocked galley and a comfortable living room while they wait for expert housing and advocacy services. It's a safe, clean, peaceful place to get warm in the winter or cool off in the summer. Services are available to people who are in need of housing and to individuals with disabilities. As far as the disability scene goes, it's remarkable how this Center for Independent Living is so inclusive; anyone with any disability is equally eligible for services. At the RCIL/Do Drop In, people with and without disabilities are treated the same. If you choose to disclose your disability, you'll still be treated as a unique individual (they don't stereotype people by diagnosis).
