It seems that The Red Cross comes to everyone's mind after natural and man-made disasters befall our neighbors our friends and our nation. The recent and still occurring Hurricane Harvey has displaced Millions upon millions of residents in Texas and the South. Our nation's fourth most populous city, Houston inundated by relentless rain and flooding. The surrounding areas and neighboring States are next as this slow moving Hurricane releases Historic amounts rain and water. As I write this report, this monstrous disaster continues to still lumber across the South toward Louisiana and Florida. I could not believe the extent of the horrific heartbreaking damage and loss of property, until I viewed photos and videos of the heart-wrenching loss and witnessed The Bravery and the courage of so many who flew like angels to rescue so many millions. The American Red Cross is here to help all people who need them regardless of any condition. The wonderful volunteers provide them with a bed a hot meal a blanket Necessities to return to normal life. My Dear Yelp friends, You need not feel helpless. You can do something!

I have to tell you that these people are simply amazing! A fire last Friday the 1st of June at my…read moreCo/Op tossed about 25 of my neighbors out on the street. The Red Cross was at the scene about 5 minutes after the fire trucks and what an incredible job they did. As one of the temporarily displaced (I hope to be back in there in a few days once power is on) I have seen first hand just what these folks can do. We were all found rooms to spend the night, emergency provisions and of course, coffee and donuts. These incredible people are all volunteers - from the people who sat with the elderly victims to the people making coffee - all were incredibly wonderful. I urge anyone who reads this to make those donations - I always had in the past and now I can see just how worthy this organization is and how well spent the donations are.

I just had the director of Access Careers in Hempstead, Mini, hang up in my face when I called to…read morecomplain about the conditions of the school. I've already been a CNA for years and was looking to recertify. This is probably a waste of time, it usually is for bad businesses that don't want to spend any money, just mill out people and make money. If you're going to sign up for Access Careers in Hempstead, here's a couple of things to look out for before you make the commitment and spend the money. The population of students in my class mostly worked during the day and came to school at night. If you are one of these people trying to save money to scrape together the money to attend this school they accommodate you as such, like you're poor and you're lucky to be there. You will receive such amenities as not having the lab supplies you need every time you have to go in there. Now the director Mini, turned it on the teacher, which true it would have been helpful, but, it was obvious that she had never checked in with her operation like a director/ supervisor is supposed to. That's 101 supervisor stuff. It's Mini's school. She blamed one of the only good employees she had for everything, my teacher one of them. The classrooms and bathrooms are dirty, the desks cheap. They're those metal fold up chairs for picnics with small writing surface over one of the arms. Your uniform will be a plastic shower curtain with the Access insignia. The building smells disgusting. There's no sanitary receptacles in the bathroom, but the toilets will overflow if you drop anything in there. There is a letter in all caps written to students to keep it clean with picture of a clean toilet bowl next to another toilet bowl with urine in it at flies swarming around it. Charming. The director told me she uses that bathroom also, she doesn't seem to think it's gross or smells bad. How? She proceeded to ask me why I'm just opening my mouth up about it now. Blaming me now. I wanted to finish the six week program and move on, they had my money. I'm glad I didn't speak up, it was in my best interest, the response I received today was deflective and defensive . Many things need to be fixed. I called the director to give my feedback, but, she didn't take to it well, hanging up on me. I think you have right to know that stuff now. I think you should know she is aware of the unacceptable state of her school. If she does something about it, good. She is aware though, so if you have a complaint don't let her tell you it's the first time hearing it and she's just shocked to death that no one told her. Don't ask Leani for anything, she's mad you asked. Also say goodnight to her when she says goodnight to you or she'll come back and reprimand you like a child whether you're mid chew or not. Don't ask Mini for anything either, she will not take responsibility for rigged together operation Access is. Like I said I've been a CNA, I paid 300 dollars less, and it was a great experience. My school was clean and everything. The school is the way it is because of choices. The trashes in the classrooms were always overflowing, and a lot of times it smelled and it smelled up the classroom. I used to just take it out, the garbage pails smelled so gross. Ultimately, everything was everyone else's fault except Mini's, the director. She didn't notice the classrooms were dirty. It's the cleaning crew's fault. I was there for 6 weeks, the lack of noticing how gross the school was was there way before I got there. The labs not having the materials they needed, not a lot of noticing going on until I just brought it up apparently. Today, today was the first time the dirty school will be noticed as being dirty, the bathrooms will be noticed perhaps as being absolutely disgusting today. Mini never noticed before. She blamed her cleaning crew. The teacher was asking office workers for supplies, she was unaware until today. She blamed the teacher. She blamed me for not doing all the noticing she should have been doing herself. It's her school. I've been a boss of huge projects, in charge of 40 plus people. Their success was my success. You have to take responsibility for what goes on under your supervision and do your best to make it better, not keep it status quo. I was fond of my classmates, they all worked hard and were trying to better themselves. My teacher Mrs. Herbert had been nurse for many years. I was a CNA for many years, she did her best to try and emphasize the importance of maintaining the dignity of each resident and to empower us to do our best and take care of ourselves. Honestly, I'm furious. If you can find a better school with better conditions with people who take responsibility for their short comings and make changes. Do it. There are good schools, Access Careers in Hempstead is trash. Good luck everyone, you deserve to be treated well, no matter what tax bracket you're in.

My husband I love the water. We surf, swim, boat and my son needs to know how to be safe around the water. Most of all he loves the water too and back when he was 3 years old he would just try to jump in but he didn't know how to swim. We tried different swim programs where Nico had fun but it was SWIMtasticnyc that taught my to become a great swimmer. After a year of lessons my son at 4 was a swimmer. Last year where ever we went on vacation people were amazed at how my 4yr old son could jump or dive into the water. Swim above and under water. Pretty much doing all kinds of things most kids don't seem to learn until they are older. My son loves it and now we can go on water activities with him. Eric's team of instructors are amazing and their method of teaching is fun and transformative. Thank you SWIMtasticnyc!
