Review for Friendship Circle of San Diego, Carlsbad, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

This organization makes my son feel normal, accepted, appreciated and loved. When they play baseball and my son does not understand all the rules or cannot always hit the ball great, they say, that's 3 1/2 outs, you're ok, keep trying. They have wonderful volunteers who cheerfully take over, giving parents time to rest, socialize and learn new skills when dealing with children with disabilities. Everyone there is very nurturing and you feel like you can talk about the stress in your life without people lifting brows and not wanting to hear all your sad stories. They welcome your feelings, offer suggestions, praise and warm smiles.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

sporting events, picnics, music programs, lecture events.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

have more advertisement to involve more children with disabilities

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

They are always cheerful, friendly, understanding and helpful.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

very cheerful and kind

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

run nationwide and have more programs in all counties of different states.

Ways to make it better...

more people joined or volunteered

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

raising enough capital to survive and having enough manpower to make it work

One thing I'd also say is that...

children with learning disabilites need more programs like these to make them feel accepted and normal in society.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every month

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2009

Role:  Client Served & I bring my son to their sports events, picnics and learning programs.
