Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Human Services, Salvation Army

Mission: We at Unity, A Journey of Hope have built a strong foundation from our Southwestern Pennsylvania roots and growing our Non-Profit Organization to granting over 100 wishes to date. Unity, A Journey of Hope Created in the spring of 2007 and has since become a non-profit, tax-exempt, public charity. Unity, A Journey of hope presently services: Southwestern Pennsylvania, the greater Pittsburgh and surrounding tri-state areas. Founded in Vanderbilt, PA., Fayette County. built circa 1854, known to neighbors as "The Unity School." Following a life-time dream John & Bobbi remodeled their home in 2001 In August of 2007 Bobbi & John decided to create a non-profit that grants wishes not only to Johns patients but they extended their hands to the surrounding community in order to grant wishes. This endeavor has proven to be a true blessing to the Robinson's. , Johns hospice work was a stepping stone to what is now named "Unity, A Journey of Hope." Granting wishes to adults with life-limiting illnesses. Unity from its humble beginnings has grown into a national wish granting organization. Within this past year their hands have indeed stretched far beyond their local community granting wishes in Houston Texas, Denver Colorado, New Jersey, and Chicago Illinois as well as the greater Pittsburgh area. Unity's reach is not limited. Unity has "Operation Christmas Wish" where Unity gives the spirit of Christmas to families, whose parent has a life-limiting illness and cannot afford Christmas. Unity also "Adopts a Veteran" each year to say "Thanks for your service." Unity also leases out Durable Medical Equipment to people who may fall through the cracks and have needs that insurance can't help with. So won't you please consider helping unity grow, become a volunteer, volunteer your expertise, donate, get involved in making Unity a premier wish granting organization and like our motto states, with YOU and UNITY we will... "Change one life, one wish at a time..." To "Change One Life, One Wish at a Time" Unity grants wishes to adults 18 years of age and older with life-limiting illnesses.

My family and I were blessed by the kindness and selflessness of Bobbi and John Robinson with Unity when our dog went missing in Uniontown, PA. They are such a wonderful couple with a wonderful charity, full of love and light, looking to help make others lives better and more fulfilling.

I’m a disabled medical first responder by malpractice and negligence in the State of Arizona. 2018 is When it all started. I was put on AHCCCS the worst health care insurance ever to be set up. I’m going to try to make this as brief and short as possible.
Since 2018- I have been red flagged. Denied care, Discriminated against, Retaliated, Abused, Mistreated, Misdiagnosed, Left Untreated to go blind x2 with a diagnosis of most rare complex neurological case. Multiple diagnosis, multiple Drs, Specialist.
Been through 8 Neuro Team’s who denied me care and only did billable services. I’ve lived in hospitals. I now need 5 plus surgeries all due to Malpractice and Negligence. I have declined in health so badly that I’m now on hospice with possible lung cancer as well as needing a VP shunt placed in my brain that was ignored. I believe I am red flagged for reporting multiple entities for serious misconduct, violations. HIPPA, Medicare and Medicaid, Falsified documentation, abuse. Raped in a SNF by the OT. Malnourished,abandoned and Harmful Retaliation causing the rapid decline in health to almost my death. I have won a Priority Level One against the SNF for Harmful and safety negligence with all allegations founded AZDHS. I have 8 or more open investigations for harmful and safety negligence and more. I have pics, records, communications, recordings and proof of major violations and harm against a pt. I have witnessed atrocities most cannot fathom. I believe I have one of the largest cases of abuse, ongoing malpractice and negligence and civil rights violations that I could go after the state of AZ. I should not be on Hospice preparing to die . This all happened due to corrupt,Abusive,DISCRIMINATORY, Negligent staff. Discrimination so bad I was denied life saving services, medical treatment,caregivers, transportation. All entities involved:
AHCCCS, DES, The State, APS, ACDL ALTC, Banner University, Suncrest healthcare, Chandler Regional, Abrazo health, Honor Health, St Joes . CVS, Pain Center, Valley Hospital, Housing Authority, housing assistance services. Tucson Hospitals, Haven of saguaro valley SNF. Most hospitals violated rules and regulations and standard medical procedures. Staff so Uneducated and incompetent that they were injuring patients and more. I witnessed a male CNA who had just been caught by the only competent travel nurse who was raping non ambulatory patients . He was handcuffed in front of me. I assisted this nurse a lot due to the corrupt staff leaving her alone. She left immediately the next day after seeing the atrocities and wasn’t going to lose her license. I told her I agreed to run. Pts lying on the floor for hours in feces and urine. Medications not given as prescribed as well as class 3 medication stolen by staff.
Drunk Patients with head lacerations bleeding all over with No staff around and I had to help. As a medical first responder. They allowed drugs and alcohol in the facility. I was horrified. Wrongful deaths rapidly escalated. My Health insurance provider who dealt with Stolen drugs and reports of RX not given. Such as mine. All taken. Called me after I had made my report and said to get out of there they were killing people.
I was at the most vulnerable place ever in my life and was Raped by the Occupational Therapist. I had been through so much trauma that I blacked it out until almost a year later when it came to my mind I almost fell over sobbing. I was advocating for pts who had been waiting for appointments for a year. They fired the social worker the next day after I had helped the pts with a letter go to her. Patients were Neglected to die. They also stole all my personal possessions and I assume while they were in the process they almost got caught and dropped there petty cash fund records and receipts. No money just paperwork. I found in my bag post Discharge. They were also writing class 3 scripts in my name months after I had left. The Pharmacy accounted for it. Then when I called them back to confirm dates that pharmacist was fired and they denied any wrongdoing covering up for the SNF. There’s so much more. This is just one entity. And I was subjected to multiple whom were corrupt and illegally practiced. It’s bigger than me or an episode of American Greed. Yet it happened and I have multiple grievances and complaints as well as open investigations. The only one’s doing their job’s is AZDHS.
Millions are affected by this, Severely suffering and dying in record numbers.

Sincerely
