I reached out to SASSNA and Dave when I was looking for resources and help to determine if I was…read moreAutistic (age 41 at the time). Dave was great! He pointed me towards a local organization that did adult diagnosis, but he also encouraged me to navigate Kaiser Permanente's process since that was my health insurance provider. I successfully navigated Kaiser's process which is terrible if you're neurodivergent, but ultimately their Psychiatric team diagnosed me with ASD. I'm learning so much about myself, and thank Dave for the help he gave!

This organization provides social services and supplies necessary outreach to both educate and advocate in the defense of our youth. Being non-profit, they work on your pre-agreed upon donations. Basically, what you can afford. My daughter tells me the whole staff from social workers to clerical are professional, helpful people. Since their time here, I can see huge changes within our entire family. Thanks to SASSNA, my grandchildren will have a better life growing up with this disability than I did. Thank you, again! 01/25

I was diagnosed with a rare stage 3 C non curable cancer. I was in shock emotionally and felt…read morewaves of fear, anger, anxiety, deep sadness...until my doctor mentioned Wellness Within, a non profit center in Roseville that helps patients, care givers, and families cope with the trauma. I walked into Wellness Within three years ago and began the journey of acceptance and care that is offered through a variety of classes. All of the teachers have specific training working with cancer patients. I met other people going through the same struggles. I am so thankful to be able to participate in the classes of my choice...and they never ask for money. The environment is warm and caring. It is a place where I can relax and learn the many ways to cope and take care of myself. I encourage cancer patients to take advantage of this treasure in our community. Marge C

Today volunteered with SacRepublicFC at the River City Food Bank and it was quite a wonderful…read moreexperience. I have volunteered at local food banks since I was a kid and always enjoy giving back to my community. This one in particular really surprised me because it is ran so smoothly and is organized quite well. We served 451 families today and they mentioned sometimes it is upwards of 600. There was such an amazing spread of organic and natural foods along with some easy to make food that kiddos would enjoy. Something for everyone. Life can change in the blink of an eye and food insecurity affects more people than you can imagine. I appreciate that River City does not add extra stress to their intake process and streamlined the grocery process so that more people can provide food for their families. If you have the means to donate time, food, energy, or supplies, I would encourage you to do so. Thank you River City, staff, and volunteers for all you do.

I had high hopes, having heard so many people talk about this place. As such I was expecting to be…read moredisappointed as usual. I was not disappointed in the least. First the place is quiet, clean, and every one I met was super nice. Second they don't make you feel like some other not for profits, you know like they are doing you a favor so you better be happy with what ever you get... No, not here. I actuality genuinely felt like these wanted to help people. A great feeling. The resources here are impressive. I couldn't believe that they cost little to no money out of pocket. Of course the over draw back with anything of this type is the amount of people in need and the a ability to support that need. So for some services, very few I have to add, there is a waiting list. Lighthouse is a great great place. A place that has filled me with hope and ambition.
