My Nonprofit Reviews
Brad
Review for Life Group LA Inc, West Hollywood, CA, USA
I was introduced for the first time as a program participant in 1991. I was ill and it gave me hope, in not only figuring out how to live with my disease, but more importantly how I could help improve the world around me. During the 90s, I reffered people from an array of different backgrounds to the program as a necessary step in managing and living with their disease. Later, in the early part of 2000 I somehow found my way back to the program and started to volunteer as a speaker, helping to guide people through that which I had discovered from participating in the program soo many years prior. I have continued to donate my time and resources to this program as I have seen it change life, as it has changed mine! I continue to refer people and individuals to this program passionately as I believe the work in creating change and providing hope in the discovery of ones disease can be life giving when soo much seems hopeless and helpless.

I would figure out away in finding how to fund the program and raise money for the program, to give it legs to cover the entire Southern California Basin. I would try to figure out a way to give it some full time paid support staff too!

Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)
I was once told, if you can't bring your intended home to meet your parents you probably shouldn't be managing the relationship. I can't think of anyone including family and the dearest of friends and loved ones that I would not recommend this program too! I believe the program has a model that would work for other disease too!
How did this volunteer experience make you feel?
The program empowered me when I time that I felt like throwing in the towel. I couldn't find will, or purpose, the program provided me with options and how I could reach out and get involved as I became ready. I did and I felt wonderful and continue to feel as if I am making a difference everyday of my life...
