While sharing a sandwich with her, I offered to help her file her 2020 tax return so she could receive a COVID recovery payment. I called the local Mission House to see if She could use their address to open a bank account and I was told that they were not offering any services due to COVID. I wasn't asking them to see her in person, just help her with the bureaucracy of government assistance. I was told in no uncertain terms, "We can't help her since she is not registered ." I understand this from government, not a place with a mission to help people.

I've supported JHS for over a decade but finally had my first experience as an adopter with them,…read moreand it went wonderfully. My spouse and I decided we were ready to bring a cat into our home a couple years after our senior cat passed away, and we headed to JHS to start seeing if any cat felt like a match. The facility is beautiful and clearly designed to minimize stress as much as possible for the animals. The front desk employees were friendly and told us to look around, so we did. We wanted an adult cat, and we found that -- at least on this visit -- they were all in a special "citrus suite" that required accompaniment by a counselor since cats can be a bit spicy. It was about 30 minutes before closing at this point, but we were assured that we wouldn't be rushed out with closing and to take as much time with the cats and counselor as we wanted. Once our lovely counselor Charly was ready, she took us into the suite and started talking to us about the cats. She had detailed information about each and talked to us about what we were looking for, what our home was like, whether we had children or pets, and whether we had experience with cats. It felt very friendly but also like a good two-way evacuation (us of the cats and JHS of us), which I appreciated. One cat ended up showing interest in us pretty quickly, and we spent about 20 minutes with her. Spoiler alert: she's sitting on the couch with me now at home. Back to that day: we said we wanted to adopt her, and Charly got her into a travel box and had us wait for a few minutes at the front while she got paperwork together. She brought us our new family member and a big folder with important dates for follow-up vaccines, medical information, and even some coupons. Once we got home, they even sent us some more photos that had taken of our new cat during her time at the shelter, and the online tool they partner with was useful, too. It was definitely a great experience, and it reaffirmed my belief that the work of JHS is one of the best things about this city.

But how can you be so close to the beach and not get on it. Well, when you can't walk - it's hard! My husband borrowed the hotel's wheelchair and walked me to the beach, but we came upon the American Red Cross Life Saving Corps Beach Chairs! A gentleman explained to us that they were there for people to use. So, I moved from the hotel wheelchair to their Beach-Wheel-chair and had the time of my life!!! Oh, my husband pushed me up and down the beach in & out of the water and even pushed me real slow at times so I could survey for shells... Then sometimes he would run and push me through a flock of birds! Oh the Joy we had during our stay was marvelous!! Thank you All for being there & having those chairs available!! Trust me, If you have someone with you that can't walk the beach, but would like to enjoy it, Borrow one of these Comfy Chairs! They will Love You!!!

According to the American Red Cross Jacksonville Beach is the world's safest beach. This place is deep with tradition since it started back in 1912. The corps really take keeping everyone who comes to the beach safe and out of harms way. I can even still recite the names of all the towers from north to south. That was a most in my recruit class of 77. So maybe I'll come back on opening day of the beaches where everyone can tour the building. Oh the memories this building has for me and may others.

Frantically I called Gina & to my surprise she started making calls for me. Not only did she help find somewhere affordable to take Princess, but stayed in communication w/me the entire trip as well from beginning to end. Even during the VET'S actual visit, to ensure that we received excellent care @11pm at night. Which we did & Princess was able to come home with/a clean bill of health after the scariest night ever! Without Gina walking me through this, idk what I would have done. It's not often that you call a complete stranger & the person on the other end, ends up being an Angel! Gina words truly cannot express to you what you've done for our family. I will certainly not ever forget & will shout from the rooftops that there is certainly still hope for our pets through folks like YOU. P.s. Pretty sure you'll be wearing a cape when we finally meet! #petitforward #shihtzuluv #angelsindisguise
