It took dhs almost 2 months to help because my employer held my last pay, pushing it into another month, making it look like I had lots of income for that month. Not taking into account that there was no more income and switching from 30/hr to 332/week just doesn't do anything for a family of 3! Gleaners helped do what the State did not care to do. It took another whole month to get a bridge card loaded so essentially, we were without & spending everything we had on food ‍ Thank you, Gleaners Mobile Pantries!

Thrifting is my jam! Goodwill's of Greater Detroit have weekly offers that arrive directly to your…read morephone. The Goodwill Madison Heights had as many customers making donations in the drive-thru as they had in the store shopping for that hidden gem(s) to purchase. For that reason, this is the best time of year to go thrifting as many people are saying out with the old after the holiday season and for the new year. I love the offer of 50% off a specific color tag because I use that as my guide to shop. It's like a color-coded scavenger hunt. This day was all purple tags were 50% off. I found four items: a jumpsuit, two sundress and a brand new two-piece dress all for a whopping $16.49. The check out line was easy breezy too! Thank you Drinida!

I have done yearly work volunteer events here for the last 6 years. I don't mind setting up the…read moreevents here since it's closer to home. Much of the food is donated by local stores or restaurants. They get a ton of stuff into their warehouse. They always go through the daily protocol in the big conference room. You are to wear gloves and a hair cover and beard cover for those with facial hairs. Now you can add a face mask to the attire too. You start the event work around 9am and work until 11am to noon. The warehouse job is the hardest. I have sorted through some rough looking potatoes, to water logged and decrepit looking cucumbers and tomatoes. It makes you really appreciate the foods we can easily pick through at the grocery store to get the most appealing ones. Any sign of mold gets tossed. This is the hardest of the jobs, but also the most rewarding since it's labor intensive too. I have also had the pleasure of assembling sandwiches in the kitchen too, with wheat squares of bread, some meat like slices of pork meat of some sort and cheese too. Volunteering your time and energy is greatly rewarding and so helpful to those in need. This is a great center that gives back ro the community. At the end of your day, they will brief you on how many bags or boxes of food were boxed that day. It's the only day big the original big 3 OEMs groups can collaborate and work together side by side without any intellectual property issues too.

The event rooms are spacious and come with tables, chairs and chair covers. The rooms are also carpeted so you will need to rent a dance floor. They also have a prep kitchen and 2 refrigerators for storage. The only con is that only had one cart available to transport items from the door to the room upstairs. I suggest that people have their own carts or buggies. All of our guests enjoyed themselves and we look forward to hosting our event next year.

I used Catholic Social Services for counseling and I was probably the only person there not…read morerequired by a court order. Catholic Social Services provides many different services and information for Catholics and non-Catholics alike. I find that the counseling is disorganized and poorly run. The counselors are mostly interns who don't have much experience. I've twice had two counselors leave their positions with a week or less notice to me. Not only is this inconsiderate, but I feel it's practically an ethical violation for a counselor. If you need help in Oakland county and don't have much money, then check it out. If you have money or other options, seek counseling elsewhere.

I was seeing a psychiatrist here for a while, but when she retired they brought in a new…read morepsychiatrist. I tried to keep an open mind seeing a new psychiatrist, but almost immediately there were red flags. Without any justifiable reason she insisted on changing my psych meds even though they were working perfectly fine as they have for nearly twenty years. After being on the new meds for a month I had another appointment, and I explained to her that they were not working and I would like to go back onto my original medication regiment. I take medication for attention deficit disorder that are essential for me to function. She then refuses to prescribe me my original medication until I get an EKG from my primary care doctor. I go get the EKG and the doctor said it was perfectly healthy. However, when the new psychiatrist gets there report, she says there's a problem with it and refuses to prescribe me my meds until I see a cardiologist. Mind you this is in the middle of a semester that I'm taking three classes on top of working 50+ hours a week. So I see the cardiologist 3 times: to do a 24 EKG, an echogram and a consultation. The cardiologist says I have a perfectly healthy and normal heart. The cardiologist faxes the results to the new psychiatrist. This time the psychiatrist says she needs a noterized statement from him saying that I can take the specific medication. So I call them back and have that faxed over as well. After three months of being running around doing these tasks, my GPA fell 2 points, I've missed 4 days of work due to all the superfluous appointments, and I've spent a large amount of money that I didn't have: after all of this she says she won't put me back on my original medication. She essentially just wanted me to accept the medication that she wanted to prescribe me or make it so difficult to get the medication I was originally on that I would just quit and go somewhere else. She did this at the expense of my grades, my job performance, my time, and my money. She told face lied to me for months knowing full well that even if I did all these things she would still refuse to put me back on my original medication that I've been taking for almost twenty years. She does all of this with this condescending, smug, patronizing sense of self importance. Never in my entire life have I ever met someone so cold, inconsiderate and negligent of a patient's concerns and well being. What chuffed me the most was she pretended to do all of this stuff out of "concern" for me, even though after I had to EKGs and an echogram that said I was perfectly qualified for my medication she refused to prescribe it to me or even give a good reason why she wouldn't. Her name is Maria Ramar, and if you plan on seeing her or going to Catholic charities I implore you to literally see anyone else. What she did was absolutely shameful and irresponsible.

There was a noticeable odor, and some areas looked like they hadn't been properly maintained. For a place that charges an entry fee, I expected a much higher standard of hygiene. We were told not to interact with almost all of the cats because they are "spicy" they didn't seem well-socialized. Not enjoyable. On top of that, the staff came across as completely rude. Overall, it felt overpriced for what you get. Between the atmosphere, cleanliness issues, and lack of manners, I wouldn't recommend Catfé Lounge and wouldn't go back.

Aside from it being great for the community, it was also very entertaining. Next time, we might go a little earlier because many of the cats were sleepy by the time that end time slot came around (still fun and adorable, though). I will say, if you've never visited before, it inevitably gets very stinky, so I would opt to wear a mask.
