Longview Nonprofits and Charities

IF YOU WANT YOUR KID M0LESTED SEND THEM HERE. I was sent here at 15 years old and m0lested often by the head staff member of the house hold. On these things called point times where staff members could take you out alone make you their personal slave and m0lest you in the Forrest or play weird games and film and force you to take your clothes off. Sounds fun right? Often they would threaten me with working hours or restriction as they call it. A way to keep kids quiet from spilling the truth. I spent most my time (12months) building this property and it’s gorgeous views! So yes you have me to thank and other kids who were touched for its beautiful landscape and picture’s layout. They always claimed GOD and JESUS CHRIST were punishing me for being such a bad kids. This place knows nothing about Christianity it’s the closest thing thing to hell. Therapists and owners and upper management knew these things were going on and likely participated in it suppressing information and further indoctrinating kids into believing they deserved it all because they were bad children. Half the kids that “ran away” from this place are just running from child predators lol. I believe this is some sort of deep s*x ring starting at the very top, yes I’m talking to you Mark Gregston! Exchanging child CP and forcing kids to do horrific acts for adults pleasure both boys and girls. I’m 1 of about 10 kids that I KNOW this happen to just while I attended this “cult.” Super fun for a healing kid already traumatized and from a broken home. Who’s gonna believe a “troubled teen” was m0lested numerous times at a Christian camp right? Could not even contact my parents until 3 months in and by that time it was too late. I can’t believe I’m still alive I have no one to thank besides myself. I could write a book but I have moved on from their propaganda mind games and lies and the fact they hire mainly predators. We paid 100,000$ for all of this! You really get your moneys worth lol. All the good reviews are fake bots or staff members. They have now convinced google to stop the ability to post reviews. Crazy right? Count your days HeartLight. Bye for now. Don’t think for a second I forgot what you did to me!

I found ASAP many years ago when searching for answers about Chiari and syringo. Since then, I have attended three annual conferences and several fundraising events. This is a fantastic group of people who are dedicated to helping others and spreading awareness about chiari and syringo. They work with some of the most talented and caring doctors that chiari patients can find. I'm so happy to have made many wonderful connections over the years with ASAP.

Our daughter spent a little over a year at Heartlight from late 2022- early 2024. She had anxiety/depression and then had a horrific and traumatic event in her life. After that, she completely spiraled out of control. We lost her- engaging in risky and self destructive behavior. She hated the world, herself, us, and God. She had an empty look in her eyes.<br><br>We tried everything, but things only got worse. She refused any therapy and sabotaged all attempts to get her help. When public suicide threats started, we made the painful decision to put her in a program. We knew she needed a long term residential program if we had any chance of success. We wanted a program that just didn't work on the child, but that also helped the family with any issues and how to progress with our child. <br><br>THANK GOD WE FOUND HEARTLIGHT. <br><br>Hearlight is a serious commitment- both financially and mentally. It took some time, and her councilor, Layne was a Godsend. We got the impression that everyone at Heartlight truly cared for our daughter and her successes. Slowly we started to see the life come back into her face and eyes. It was bumpy at times, but the trend was towards something better. We stayed the course and saw it through.<br><br>Our daughter fully graduated from Heartlight. She came home as a new person- she is able to make and maintain friendships and relationships. She is now working in school and is making great grades. She is now a wonderful family member and big sister. She is joyous and fun again! One can just look at her and see the love of life in her. <br><br>Without Heartlight, we would have lost her for good. It would have destroyed all of us in our family. Heartlight saved us all. <br><br>Thank you Heartlight!

Our last 2 fur babies from Texas Star Rescue have rescued us. They take very good care of their charges and they really care for them. <br> <br>THANK YOU TEXAS STAR RESCUE FOR ALL YOU DO FOR OUR BABIES!!

I have been proudly volunteering for NETX Habitat for almost 20 years, either on the build site, on a committee or as a board member. I can tell you whole-heartedly that this organization is anchored to the deeply held belief that everyone deserves a decent, affordable place to live. They truly believe that affordable home ownership helps to raise the educational achievement of our children, improves health, reduces crime and encourages the Family First mentality. No matter who we are or where we come from everyone deserves to feel the strength and stability day after day that comes from working together for improved community. Northeast Texas Habitat for Humanity is an organization that consistently strives to be the Change we all want to see in the world. I am delighted to work along beside them.

I currently work for Champion EMS - and I can honestly say I look forward to coming to work each day. I love my job and all the wonderful things we do for our community. I get to fulfill my love of helping others, all while getting to work with some amazing people and a great organization.

I love this ministry. They do everything within their power to help people.

Keys to the Kingdom Outreach Ministry is a ministry birth out of a desire to equip the people of God and prepare them for their destiny. Bishop Steward is a dynamic leader, teacher, a true man of integrity. Keys to the Kingdom is “A Place to Belong, Where Everybody is Somebody in the Lord.”

I want to say a big thank you to this community, I went to NETTD #9 this past weekend Oct. 4-7 2018. I was sponsored by my daughter Tiffany Kerr, it was such an awesome weekend. I walked away with far more than I expected to. I will always carry this past weekend in my heart forever. I wanted God to put me on the mountain top and I realized I didn't need to be on the mountain top to know He is with me all the time. I know He will speak to me if I just stay still and let Him speak to me. I just can't really explain what this past weekend meant to me, it was just awesome and the many women that were there serving and being served was amazing. Thank you to everyone for continuing this organization and I am in prayer for God to tell me if I should serve these weekends and to lead me to someone to sponsor. I ask you to join me in these prayers I really could use the extra prayers so I don't miss God speaking to me.<br><br>Thank you<br>Venia Potter

Love love love the family that owns faith flip, they are loving, compassionate, and dedicated to all children in their program. I had moved into the longview area from Chicago seeking a facility for my daughter to continue her love for gymnastics. Faith flip was the best choice i could have ever made. Not only do they help keep our kids active, improve their skills in gymnastics, they also share the word of God during their devotions. THAT'S AMAZING. I highly recommend faith flip for your children and if you are a sponsor then faith flip is the right candidate to invest in. You will be helping over 1000 children in the longview community

We love Artsview! Not only has it introduced all three of my children to, and given them an appreciation for, theatre, it has given my youngest two opportunities to make new friends, express their creativity and built their confidence, both onstage and in everyday life. My husband and I both enjoy working backstage and being involved in ArtsView has been an amazing way to spend time with our children while working in different areas to bring a show from nothing to a polished, finished product. The shows performed by Artsview rival shows performed in bigger cities. Artsview Children's Theatre provides so many benefits, not only for the children involved and their families, but for the community as a whole. In this fast paced world, having a place to sit back and relax in an audience, watch the wonder on the faces around you, introduce children to the magic that happens on the stage and ecen have a chance to take your turn onstage is an amazing and rare thing!

Clay McLean and more recently his wife Mary McLean have been hugely instrumental in providing me counseling and teaching as far back as 1975. In fact I call Clay a mentor and a spiritual director for my wife and I. 25 years ago I suffered from deep clinical depression, was addicted to prescription medications, about to lose my career and go bankrupt. His gentle and clear help, completely scriptural and Spirit lead enabled me to receive the healing I needed and put my life back together. The help I received from Physicians and Mental Health Practitioners was all valuable but Clays help was by far the best help I received. <br> <br>Possibly his greatest contribution to me was displaying Godly, Holy, Biblical love in his word and deed that inspired me to see, believe and know that I could someday do the same in reaching out to the wounded and broken within the dysfunctional Western Church as we know it today. <br> <br>If anyone thinks Clay is harsh at all in his counseling, they should remember that our Lord Jesus often spoke hard words to hurting people in order to awaken and challenge them to grasp the truth that could set them free. <br> <br>

Not a bad nursing home for residents, they actually do a good job. However, if you are related to or married to a female who might go there to visit your loved one, I would rec not. <br> <br>The administrator is under investigation for sexual harrassment of female employees and family members. He gives .15 raises to poor aides who have kids and husbands for sexual favors. Just consider it when you, too, think about putting your loved one at Summer Meadows

My daughter Avery suffers from a brain tumor and is in treatment. East Texas angels relieved some of my financial burden while my daughter and I are going through such a difficult time. They are very caring and understanding and want to help.

I'm so thankful to see the work of the Gabler's being continued, and in such a progressive manner. Keep up the good work!

I have attended the East Texas Symphonic Band concerts for years and enjoyed the varied musical selections immensely. Some of the pieces they play have me tapping my foot, others bring tears to my eyes, and others make my chest swell with pride. And the fact that the concerts are free means anyone and everyone can come and have that same experience.
