Review for Family Service Association of Redlands, Redlands, CA, USA
Family Service Association is the best "hometown" charitable organization in America. It brings nearly every segment of the Redlands community together in assisting those in need in the area, primarily focused on families with children, but single men and women are also assisted. I was proud to have been the Executive Director of this great organization for ten years. It represents the best in all of us.

Review for Beyond Shelter, Los Angeles, CA, USA
I was in a shelter for 2 years. During that time I went to school to become an elder care provider. I finished that then went to school again to become a CNA. Beyond Shelter has been there for us through good times and bad times. My worker was Fani and she knew how to keep my head up no matter what. Each time I came to Beyond Shelter a small or big miracle happened and that I'm very thankful for.

This review is for April O., a mother who received services at Beyond Shelter's Broadway Village I Neighborhood Resource Center in South Los Angeles. I was typing from April's paper form that she filled out and it put it under my own name.
Review for Ascencia, Glendale, CA, USA
PATH Achieve Glendale is an outstanding program reaching out to homeless families in the Glendale area. After taking a tour a few years ago, I was really impressed. When Natalie Profant-Komuro then went to PATH Achieve, I knew that the program would be able to add even more services to truly make a difference for the homeless families and individuals who are staying in the emergency shelter. Natalie was the original program director for Beyond Shelter's "Housing First" Program - she is someone with a true lifelong commitment to helping homeless families and individuals. PATH Achieve doesn't just work with "easy" situations with quick solutions. They are one of the few organizations able to provide emergency shelter and other services to pregnant mothers and single fathers. It is a great organization with true community support.
