When I lived at PATH, I was there for two years. I could have stayed longer, but over time, I…read morestarted feeling mentally and emotionally uncomfortable because I was going through some serious internal struggles. Around that time, someone bought me a ticket to visit my adopted daughter--someone I had longed to see but never got the chance to. Despite everything, my experience at PATH was one of the best shelter experiences I've ever had. There were so many kind and caring people there. Of course, it wasn't perfect--I also encountered a few staff members who didn't seem to have the best attitude about their jobs, which made certain moments unpleasant. But at the end of the day, a shelter is still a business, and good customer service should always be a priority. Still, I truly felt at home. The Christmas parties were beautiful, they gave us an abundance of clothes, and the food--honestly--was the best I've ever had at any shelter.

My daughter Ariel did a year at the Dream Center after struggling for years with depression and…read moreself-medication (heroin) after losing a boyfriend in high school. She graduated in 2015, and at that time I gave a 5-star review because I noticed big positive changes in her. I thought it would be nice to give an update since it has been close to 7 years since she graduated. Prior to the Dream Center, it was difficult for me to be around her because she had so much anger and she just wanted to argue with me about anything and everything. Since the Dream Center, she has been a pleasure to be around and not once in 7 years have we argued, or had even so much as a disagreement of words. She lived with me for the first year after the Dream Center. She was quick to find a job and began chasing her dream of becoming a dog groomer. She was 24 at this time, and prior to this, had never had a job but once for a couple of months. She began dating a boy from our church (who also attended the Dream Center - yes this is how they met) and 6 months later they were engaged, and 6 months after that married. I was concerned when she got married and moved into an apartment for the first time. I figured they would be coming to me asking for money to help them with the rent. But in 7 years they haven't asked me for a cent. A couple years later, they she said they were looking to buy a house. Honestly, I thought it was a pipe dream of theirs because they didn't' have good credit (bad from previous life). But God worked miracles and they bought a house only 10 minutes from where I live. Again, a couple years later, they announced they were going to open a mobile dog grooming business. Again, I didn't' think they could do it because the truck was over $100K. I suggested they consider a store because it would be a smaller investment for them to start up. But God had other plans, and they opened their mobile dog grooming business on February 14, 2020. Yes, February 2020. A month before the Covid shutdowns in California. But once again, God had a plan for them, it was mobile grooming because when all the brick and mortars closed, they were able to operate and within two months they were turning away business. It was also about this time that they announced they were having a baby, and on October 25, 2021 Camille was born. During these 7 years, Ariel and her husband have been very involved in the church they attend, and serve regularly on the worship team (Ariel lighting and her husband on the drums). They also regularly attend Celebrate Recovery which is a wonderful program for anyone struggling with hurts, hang-ups and habits. The Dream Center turned my daughter's life around. It changed her, for the better. She jokes occasionally and says she was brainwashed at the Dream Center. It wasn't easy for her, lots rules and structure. She had to sacrifice a lot of what she thought was important to her. But she doesn't regret it and has a lot of fond memories of the friendships that she formed while there. I highly recommend the Dream Center to anyone who is struggling in life. There is no denying the miracles that God did and continues to work in my daughter's life. Without the Dream Center, Ariel would have never understood how to have a relationship with Jesus, and have faith in God, and hope again. She didn't see a future before the Dream Center. But when she left, she saw all the possibilities and she went after them. I am excited to see where God leads her life next. I know there is more greatness to come. Thank you Dream Center for turning around my daughter life.

I had never heard of this place before but it's truly an amazing place! The name is very fitting for the amazing work that is done here. Their store was filled with brand new items (many popular brands) fitting every style and size. They also include necessities such as backpacks, shoes, toilet paper, etc and the rule is YOU CAN TAKE AS MUCH AS YOU NEED! Usually there's a limit but not here, they provide you with trash bags and you can take as much as needed. They also have an area for groceries, toys, hot food, and so much more! It was truly amazing working here and seeing so many families being helped. There were so many volunteers and so much resources being passed out, I've never see anything like it. I recommend this place for anyone who is having a tough time, facing homelessness, job loss, etc to seek this place out. They also help with finding housing and schooling. Such a valuable place to the city of Los Angeles!

Comic Cure had a comedy show at YWCA of Glendale tonight. It was a fundraiser to shed awareness on…read morethe topic domestic violence. The majority of the efforts by this YWCA location's to stop racism and assist women in creating better environments for themselves. I purchased my ticket on EventBrite. What I learned from attending this event? YWCA believes that a love relationship created between any type of couple (hetro, homo, tran, etc...) should be harmonious or beneficial for both parties, especially if children are involved. So toxic relationships should go through breakups, which can be healthy. And it can happen more than once. It's not something to be ashamed about. Also, they believe that children should be taught this fact in their formative years, when they learn about love. The theme of the show was 'Breakup Letters'. There were 23 or 24 comedians that read letters about their breakup experiences. Creative. Inventive. Sad. Funny. The headliner was Comedian and Actor, Johnathan Kite. He was a complete riot. It was a nice turn out of people. Big Mama's & Papa's Pizzeria sponsored the event. The $5 donation (Cash Only) for drinks and pizza was donated to the YWCA's Domestic Violence Program. Also, they distributed handouts about the Elton John Foundation supporting people to invest in the HIV Vaccination. So you can sleep with HIV/AIDS and not get infected. It's covered by insurance companies. America has been undergoing changes that effects everyone. If you want to find out more... Just read through the Elton John Foundation Website at http://ejaf.org/ Personally, I support stopping STD's completely in every socio-economic class, race and gender. This would best be accomplished through open communications and trust in monogamous love/sex relationships between a couple. Also, I support the use of adult toys, celibacy and condoms. Comic Cure's growing. They support various causes with comedic events around Southern California and seek to travel nationwide.
