Hannah House consistently provided the best experience across the several years they've been…read moreserving us. We experienced as many as five of their supervisors and the quality of our experience was the same--incredibly high. We've had two other supervisors across the years. I'll share more about the other two supervisors later in this review so you can appreciate Hannah House even more. Hard to find adequate supervisors for even the normal visitation. But this was a very complex situation with the ex-wife and her family and also with the emotional, physical, and mental issues the child was dealing with. Hannah House navigated all those due to their extensive experience, education, and ongoing professional development. Such as expertise in dealing with children with ADD. Their procedures were so very professional. Yet they were so personable with the child and all family members involved in the visitation. All five we experienced helped make each visitation a very enjoyable and special time for all. In addition, later in court, their credentials, vast experience, knowledge of family law, and professional procedures including copious and astute note taking of each visitation really paid off. They were perceived as extremely credible and presented the evidence that all was well and the need for supervision has been removed. To give you an idea of what you could experience if you don't use Hannah House. I'll share about the other two supervisors we suffered through. One, (not Hannah House) only lasted a day due to the behavior from the ex-wife's family. Another (not Hannah House) was seemingly okay until we found that every time after we left, he said the child was disrespectful, etc. and we felt the poor boy was ganged up on by supervisor. Also, we found out later in court that supervisor had also been telling a totally different story to the ex-wife. He was telling us that he didn't see the need for supervision and asked why was there supervision, etc. quite a few times. He even left us alone for 30 minutes to an hour to eat or shop. He felt completely comfortable with the father and son being together alone. And he told us he had cleared this with the ex-wife. But he was hiding it from them and also told the ex-wife and family just the opposite of what he was telling us. He said the son felt unsafe around the father, etc. He did this all to keep the visitation going and keep getting paid. In court, this all came out and he crumbled under cross-examination. All this to say, it can be a jungle out there. Make the right choice and use Hannah House! Finally, I have no idea why there is even one bad review. I think someone got mad at them and then had all their friends write bad reviews. Some bad reviews were even about the wrong business--a nail care business. Don't believe them. Use Hannah House!

You don't move to the City of Excellence to be average. Thank God I ain't average!…read more I moved into my new home in Plano two weeks ago and the water towers say it all. I'm right where I belong, in the City of Excellence ;) here's the thing... you aren't excellent if you aren't leaning in to help others. I'm passionate about a ton of things, giving back to others is one of the most important. I rescheduled my every 56 days blood donation to a nearby American Red Cross but being in my new town for two weeks seeing all that it gives, I knew it was time to research how I can make an immediate impact. North Texas Food Bank was a result of my research and I'm so excited about today's effort. After relocating I suppose it's quite fitting to select "Pack and Box" it's literally all I'd been doing the past few weeks, why stop now?!! I had the greatest first time volunteer experience. I signed up last night right before bed because and knew I was going to the gym at 6a with my neighbor so I selected the 1p (arrive by 1230p) time slot. Creating a new volunteer account was super straight forward. I was adding this event to my calendar within minutes. I was greeted by the sweetest ladies upon arrival, offered a locker key (wear a fanny pack if you don't have pockets and wish to bring your phone in) as you aren't wearing aprons. I left my phone in the locker. We did a brief orientation, hand washing and then volunteered for our assignments. I've put together a ton of boxes lately, so I opted for packing. I'm not certain I've ever handled so much boxed milk in my entire lifetime! I was first in the assembly line working hand in hand with Apple juice volunteer and let me just say, we did the damn thang!!! It was such a fun experience I never took a single break. My right arm will soon remind me of this fact. We packed 960 boxes, totaling 20 pallets, weighing 28,800 lbs, creating 24,000 meals! I'm a numbers nerd and love the data following your shift. It makes it that much more rewarding. Impact you can see and feel. There were several corporate groups, families and solo volunteers. Everyone was very kind. I'll definitely be volunteering here on a regular basis as my schedule provides. Thank you so much North Texas Food Bank! As a foodie, meals for those in need is a cause I hold near and dear to my heart. Highly recommend if you're looking to serve others. There are a variety of opportunities. I selected this one today but I may explore others in the near future. Hands down a superb way to spend 3 hours, and the warehouse is nice and cool on a warm day. Perfect place to volunteer in the summer (:

When I was wondering the streets & scattered in thought, feeling broken inside my heart with every…read moresingle resource exhausted - it was FINALLY time to give in..... I luckily found myself within a temporary woman's shelter with a quick 45 days to figure out a plan for the future of my 4 year old son & myself..... By the pure grace of the sweet Lord above, I was introduced to Emily's Place - at which my son and I are blessed beyond measure's to now be current residents of this AMAZING PROGRAM - I'm not going to lie, I was aprehencable because of the long-term commitment & because of past reviews I had read online, but realistically - I was broken hearted and afraid, and my options were NO BETTER than my fear itself.... We are now safe, treated with Love & Kindness & are Absolutely BLESSED with EVERYTHING WE COULD POSSIBLY NEED & WANT TOO!! Our future looks bright & hopeful & I know yours will too..... It was not by chance we are being given this extraordinary opportunity & I could really NOT imagine where we'd be without this program! From the VERY bottom of my heart, I hope you are as fortunate as we to come here & travel this journey along side of us.... Thank you for your time & may God Bless you & yours.....

Ok so I have contemplated for weeks, trying to decided if I should post a review or not... After…read morecarefulll consideration Something in my heart compelled me to write about my experience as it could possible help another young women and children. About 3 weeks ago me and my 2 YO son was exited from the program after a a month stay (which I was more than happy to do) Although the facility is nice it's definitely not for any domestic violence victims And I strongly urge you to stay far away. Not only is the staff aggressive and tempromental but extremely controlling. Controlling over your whereabouts every second of the day, Every dime you make, what you can spend (if they allow it) where you can go, where you can work, where your kids go to school ect. The manipulation and re victimizing is completely beyond me. I was mortified when I found out they kept tabs and cameras on when I was eating and if I "ate too late" or if I didn't do something according to detailed description. I honestly feel this place should be shut down because the way its being ran is ineffective. And in the beginning they give women a false sense of security to make things look good for the donors, it's completely sad... . My lawyer was completed to sue but due to clause in the agreement you have to sign, it would be difficult.... Just do yourself a favor stay on the street or stay away.I fell bad for anyone who comes in contact with the current staff and I feel horrible for the founder who I'm sure started this non profit in "good faith"

Rainbow Days is one of the BEST nonprofit organizations in Dallas…read more Rainbow Days first came to my attention randomly years ago when I was looking for an organization to donate to, but due to a career change I've had the privilege to network with them thanks to my work as a housing case manager and substance use disorder counselor, and I cannot tell you what this organization means to so many families who are hit hard by housing instability and homelessness. I sit in awe at the wonderful activities that encourages the kids to look beyond their present circumstances, dare to dream big, focus on their education, tap into their feelings, stay drug and tobacco free, and most of all, have fun and stay kids. You'd be amazed what this organization can do with a little and how many kids they help each year. It is something in the tune of 142,000! They do summer camps, fun summer outings, they are involved in Turkey Dunk, Back to School Kick Off that provides brand new uniforms and school supplies, they supply diapers and other baby items year around to various organizations and so, so, so much more. I think their major messages they instill in the kids say it all: " I AM likeable, capable, unique and valued. I CAN treat others like I want to be treated. I HAVE strengths, capabilities and people who care about me. I WILL make healthy choices and be alcohol, tobacco and drug free. I BELIEVE I have a purpose." If you see the smile on these kids faces you too will want to donate. I'm serious. Every time they come back they are exhausted but still smiling from ear to ear. Five stars all around for them making such an amazing difference in our city and showing the kids how special they are.

I reached out to Operation Once in a Lifetime seeking assistance and unfortunately left the…read moreinteraction feeling deeply uncomfortable and concerned. My point of contact was Patrick Sowers. One of the biggest red flags was being asked to send copies of my DD-214 containing sensitive personal identifiable information directly to a phone number. At no point was it clarified whether this was a secure work device or a personal cellphone. I was never offered a professional email address or secure document portal, which I found highly questionable given the nature of the documents involved. While I complied in an effort to move the process along, I was not comfortable doing so. In my experience, reputable organizations handling veterans' records typically have clear procedures and safeguards in place for transmitting sensitive information. Beyond the privacy concerns, the conversation itself was frustrating and unprofessional. Instead of feeling heard, I felt repeatedly invalidated, challenged, and put on the defensive regarding my own experiences and concerns. The interaction came across as passive-aggressive and unnecessarily contrarian. I also found it inappropriate that examples of other veterans' personal struggles were repeatedly brought into the conversation as comparisons. I contacted the organization for assistance with my own situation, not to hear about or be compared against the hardships of others. It felt dismissive and unprofessional. What should have been a supportive interaction instead felt judgmental and disrespectful. Trust and professionalism are critical when working with vulnerable veterans, and unfortunately I did not experience either here. Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage others to exercise caution when sharing sensitive personal information and to ask questions about how documents are being stored and protected before sending anything. Patrick Sowers is a fucking moron.

Did you know that each year over 200,000 pets in the Dallas areas alone are euthanized because of crowded shelters?

Set in an old house on Garland Road in East Dallas, this store has a great mix of wonderful items for your house and yard. From glassware to statuary, they have you covered. The shop is a great place even before you realize the mission they are on! Once you understand the mission, it makes shopping here that much more fun! We bought a few things, but have several more on our radar to go back for. Check them out and support their cause!
