Pet It Forward/Gina deserves the award of the year from our household! We have a precious…read more(ShihTzu) little girl named Princess who desperately needed to be seen by a VET ASAP because I thought she was having a seizure & have bloodwork done due to something she got into. 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

Once upon a time I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and bombarded with information, advice and my…read moreemotions that were all over the map. I had already been involved with American Cancer Society through Relay for Life at my kids local high school and my scout troop (at the time) volunteered for set up, clean up and we always had some sort of fundraising booth at the event. In a blink I became a recipient of their services. Not every knows but American Cancer Society gives the bulk of their donations to research to find a cure. They also are involved within each community providing numerous services for those battling cancer and for their caregivers. They can offer driving services for treatments, various mental health services either in group settings or one on one counseling. They also have a tremendous online community and even an online journaling option. I utilized both the online services and the therapy during my treatment. At the time I was newly divorced and had three teenagers. My mental health during treatment was paramount. I have a friend of the family who is a breast cancer research doctor- on the front line trying to understand the cancer and finding a cure and she told me that hands down- American Cancer Society donates the most amount of their incoming funds to research. Especially for Breast Cancer research. Other big name Breast Cancer non-profits don't even compare. Their reach within the community and on a much bigger scale has always made me a fierce supporter of ACS. Making Strides is their breast cancer walk/run/fundraiser. But they are making a huge impact across all cancers. I have participated in years of events for the organization and will always consider them as one of my top choices for donating time and/or money.

She was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer in 2017, and despite all attempted treatments, she eventually lost her battle with cancer. Truly one of the hardest, saddest days of my life.   Jacksonville Memory Gardens & Cemetery is comprised of 3 areas... the Cemetery of course, the Funeral Home and the Pre-planning center which is all located within the Cemetery.   Once learned of my mom's passing, we were connected with one of the Funeral Home Directors, Damon McLeod. Damon made the process so much easier for me, my Dad, my brothers and family in terms of what to expect and plan for regarding burials, services, etc. Damon happens to have many decades of experience and it showed. Damon did not leave one stone unturned. The Funeral home directors and staff worked well hand in hand, as one team. Major kudos to them.   Plot planning, we were connected with Mrs. Jay Jacobs. Jay guided us with the Grave Plaque selections and offered her valueable feedback as well. She was very nice, attentive and knowledgeable.   And as far as the Cemetery is concerned, per my observation, it is always well kept and maintained.

The clerk told me that they had three boxes at their southside and that I could come by their store here in Orange Park and pay for them and have them brought over to the store. So I came in and they were very busy and I left. I two hours later. I went in and a gentleman met me not the clerk, but an older gentleman and he told me no go to the store. Even after he heard the clerk say it was at the southside store because he had talked to me on the phone. Just thought that it could've been handled in a more professional way and don't understand why I was told one thing and then another. Will not go back.

Today, President's Day is a 50% off sale! Amazing - and such a popular deal the parking lot was full, the shopping carts all being used, and the line for checkout (and 7 agents to help) was full the whole time! The prices are fair or awesome, depending on the item, and many MANY a gem can be found. Ok ok, then why 4 stars? Downside - No Changing Rooms and maybe 4 mirrors in the entire place. So, get creative, do what I do, wear tight leggings and a strappy tight top so you can try literally everything on over your clothes. Second down side, I see no "go back racks" so now and then you'll find clumps of discarded hopefuls from someone's pile or cart and they need to get moved back to their homes. But, silver lining on these small clouds - RETURN POLICY! You have 2 weeks to try your stuff on at home and if it didn't fit just right, bring it back With Tags On and your receipt and you can Exchange your item for another of same price! Store credit for that return day only. Amazing! I usually go to a Good Will on Blanding but this place is def my new fave second hand spot!

They also make no guarantees about protecting your privacy. When the TM organization stops behaving like a petty cult i will happily upgrade my review.
