My tenant started contacting Camillus House in Miami for rental assistance back in 11/2024. Both…read morethe tenant and landlord provided all needed documents in a timely fashion in multiple rounds. However, the communication from Camillus House was always blurry. They always told us the case would be processed in a couple of weeks and nothing happened in the next a couple of months. When we contacted them again, the same thing happened. They kept asking for new documents. However, once the new document was provided and they just stopped communication. It seems that this Camillus House does NOT really want to provide assistance but merely stays in business so that the staff get paid by the donated money. I would like to share my story so that others can get a better picture of this organization.

Children and their families are very blessed to have a facility like this that allows their family members to be close to them during a difficult time. Everything in the facility is pretty much donated by various organizations. From the food to the rooms these families are provided for. The facility is kept clean and for the most part looks very comfortable. If I had the funds I would pour into these facilities as well because insurance only covers so much.

First of all, and most importantly, do not be mislead by the name. This is not only for kids…read more I came across Mindful Kids Miami while I was a facilitator for the Children's Bereavement Center. We had a workshop for a few hours which was great but I left there knowing that I needed to dive deeper into mindfulness and what MKM had to offer. I continued to look up their upcoming classes and events for some time until I eventually decided to take a course. I took an 8 week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction class that consisted of 2.5 hours once a week and a full-day silent retreat. At first, I was hesitant if I'd made the right choice with this class. But contrary to my usual habits, I stuck it out, I kept going back and I pushed through the resistance to get out of something uncomfortable. Eight weeks later and I can say with an honest heart that my life has changed. The peace I feel within is a gift that I will carry with me forever. For several years I have delved into meditation and self help, the power of my mind and its thoughts. However, taking a course, being held accountable, having to report, practice, literally and metaphorically have to show up, has completely confirmed my beliefs. I had the knowledge but lacked the practice and consistency, until now. MKM is so special and Miami is lucky to have this incredible group sharing the love and what mindfulness can do for us all. If we're just a little open minded. I look forward to continuing my training and my practice here. If 8 weeks seems like too much, take a look at their site. They offer free drop-in classes for adults, family events, weekend retreats, classes for children, teachers, etc. I cannot recommend it enough. Thank you, Mindful Kids Miami for this journey. Dorlie and Gus you were both a light for 2.5 hours of the week. I am so humbled and grateful that I got to be a part of it.

Hands on Miami has been an amazing discovery for me…read more I have been a regular volunteer since January- giving me plenty opportunities to get involved with the community. But while i have always had a desire to volunteer and get involved, i also had a fear of the commitment entailed and the complications that might arise out of my already busy schedule. What is so perfect about Hands On is that it's a flexible volunteering model with no long term commitments, no background checks, no frills or complicated processes. I simply went on the site, found an activity of interest, which to me was working with teens and/or kids and signed up for a specific date. I've been hooked ever since- volunteering my time every month at Miami Bridge- an emergency youth shelter for abused, neglected and abandoned teens ages 10 to 17 and I love it. Every activity is assigned a project leader who takes responsibility for the group and can be a resource on that day for help with directions, etc... I can honestly say it's been a wonderful resource for me in finding ways to get involved and make a difference. Definitely check them out at handsonmiami.org and sign up for an event.

The Junior League goes above and beyond to help those in need. The league helped create so many fundamental organizations in Miami including the original Museum of Science. I have met so many wonderful friends. The women are all inspiring and supportive of one another. We are always trying to help and support all members in league and outside. The league also serves as a training organization, where members can learn new tools such as fundraising, retention/recruitment, events, development and many other skills that can be applicable in all aspects of life. Overall, I've been able to get involved in the community and make a difference alongside amazing women! If you are new to Miami or are looking to get involved, look into this organization!
