Review for You Can Thrive! Foundation, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

This place is not in integrity. They pretty much have a very toxic founder and way of decievinf people.. taking advantage of the goodness of people and also the very vulnerable population that they claim to serve!

They don’t do what they claim. $20 doesn’t give Cancer any free service and what they call “free or donation”’in reality is a demanded set amount- or else.

They even told a homeless woman with cancer that she had to pay in order to attend events. Shameless.

They also insist on knowing cancer patient’s income level so they know how much to demand for “donations”!

Donations are by definition, not mandatory so they are deceiving everyone!

They also don’t serve survivors or the community at large.

And they basically give some people a couple of free sessions- from a volunteer- it’s all volunteer led so they don’t need money:. And then demand meant after that for everything.. pretty much the classic drug dealer business model.. ugh.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, they barley offer anything ( in a city where so many places actually do) and then claim that those few things can prevent or treat Cancer! And ask for more money.. for what exactly? To pay their staff of volunteers? Or the free donated space? Or more likely, the international travel and dining out habits of the owner..

Delusional and deceptive owners.. who have harassed people the claim to serve ..they have an unusually high turn over of volunteers and have heard pretty much all of them complain about the crazy owner..

in a city with so many amazing doctors and hospitals and integrative services actually free of charge for the Cancer Community- we don’t need toxic charlatans like this place! To think they even lied to Oprah! And take credit with their min offerings for what in actuality is the results of the numerous places just like them ( but a lot better!) and top healthcare in the country..dart away.. they’re not good for your emotional or spiritual or physical health in any way and need to be shut down!

Occasionally we get abusers of the system, and though it only happened a few times in our history this client was one. After receiving DOZENS of FREE caring compassionate treatments including 1hour Shiatsu, acupuncture, Reiki, Massage, Psychotherapy, sound sessions and 14 free EFT sessions. We noticed she wasn't showing up for Yoga, or Meditation. She only wanted the services where other people did the work for her. Staff was alerted, it's time to require her to pay-it-forward $20 she'd completed the free program 10x. She became irate. She made the staff feel terrible, she sent abusive emails, she felt entitled to unlimited free treatment. Then began saying that we falsely advertise that we give free care. Our 15 year track record and many client testimonials speak volumes about our FREE services. No good deed goes unpunished with this one.
