My Partner was sexually harassed twice, one person was saying if that my didn't have sex or didn't give any oral sex for protection, there was no way that the both of us wouldn't be protected. And the other person was threatening her because of her sexuality. Like it's ridiculous that they allow just about anyone in the shelter and let anyone just stay there and say these things to anyone. We both felt threatend.

The Rescue Mission has been a shelter for the homeless of the Trenton area since 1915. It's…read moreapproach to this charity is to put every man to work to help offset the cost of operations. The Board of Directors realized a long time ago that Evangelical Christian generosity had to be combined with work and revenue production in order to survive the hardships and financial strain that historic events like the Crash of 1929 would bring to the community. The approach has allowed this pillar of giving to house more than 12,000 men in 1931 by having them cut wood for sale, work in industrial salvage in the many factories of heavily industrialized Trenton, and to help run a store selling used clothing, furniture and appliances. I bring my old clothes here every year, and have even been rewarded by seeing a man on the street wearing one of my suits. I hope he got the job. When I have furniture to get out of my home or office, I call the Rescue Mission to come pick it up in one of their trucks. They will even take an old car that still works. I had the good fortune of working on the same street as the RM early in my legal career at the Legal Aid Society. I saw firsthand the large number of people who relied on it to survive. Too, several of these people became my clients when denied benefits, or in need of help in dealing with landlords, employers or other legal problems. It was rich and rewarding work. Please consider giving your recyclable clothing, housewares, and donations to the Rescue Mission. After more than 110 years, you know they are doing something very right. Helping those who help others is a blessing, mitzvah, and great feeling.

When I was offered the opportunity to volunteer at the 2014 USA Games of the Special Olympics, I…read morejumped at the chance. I always want to get involved and volunteer but my schedule is usually full. This time I decided to do something for a good cause and clear my schedule to volunteer. What an awesome facility for such a great group of people. Mrs. Shriver's vision in 1962 that started as a camp back in Maryland still is just as impactful today; even more so as it was from the bginning, I'm sure. The Special Olympics complex has many modern features to include an exercise room with modern equipment such as elliptical, treadmill as well as bikes. An expansive gymnasium which a variety of events can be played and a library with an array of books as resources for children with delayed developmental milestones. Outside a beautiful patio area and a gazebo compliment the grounds offering peace and a place to go for quiet and fresh air. I had the opportunity to volunteer for the Health Young Athletes Ask A Doc (AAD) program sponsored by the Robert S. Wood Foundation. Not knowing exactly what to expect in my role as a therpaist providing advise to families as well as assisting at the events afforded me to be excited and flexible. The AAD program provided onsite health care professionals to speak to families who had questions about their children with intellectual, social, behavioral and/or physical disbailities. There were physicians, nurses, dentists, speech, occupational and physical therapists as well as dieticians offering their expertise as needed. Moreover, the disciplines were able to interact at the outdoors events with hand help puppets representing various health care providers. But the best part of my 2 day experience was watching the children from ages 2-8 enjoy various obstacles courses under these wonderful big tents that were created, ride bikes, bowl, kick soccer balls, rolls balls,compete in racing activities and other sporting activities. Anyone without a smile on their face, tears of joy and happiness in their eyes and a heart melting watching these kids do things we take for granted, all the while having fun with each other without judgement, prejudice, anger or any negativity, maybe miss the emotional gene of compassion for humanity. When given the opportunity again, I will volunteer but not for only 2 days, but for at least a week or more. Volunteering felt good, it felt right and shows, we make time for what is important to us................

The kitten I adopted had extensive medical issues.

Despite a clause in the adoption contract that Res-Q-Pets would cover all medical costs related to health issues existing before adoption, they covered one vet visit then became non-responsive.
