Lastly, they provide youth services for the community in the form of tutoring and enrichment activities. Please support APC. Its organizations like this that silently help our brothers and sisters in the community out of the poverty cycle.

This is my unit, my apologies I couldn't find a picture of the outside…read more I just wanted to say that the supervising case management at Bessie Coleman Court, is a liar, a cheat and a fake. She's good friends with my harasser and caseworker, so I do I even battle with that. Keisha Johnson, is the lead case management at Bessie Coleman Court, and she was initially my caseworker there. Keisha, was telling my personal information to her other clients, I know because she was the only person that I had confided in. Afterwards I would her residents taunting me about my personal information that I told the caseworker. Shortly after I put in for a new caseworker but the new caseworker informed me that any and everything we speak about goes through her boss and lead supervising case management Keisha Johnson. Bessie Coleman Court, residence receives gift card, toy, food and other help but 10/2022 was the last time I received anything. Which was two gift cards for target one was $30 and the other was $100. Although I felt as if my daughter and I should have received more but we didn't. We didn't receive anything for Thanksgiving, but everyone else did. Except for my daughter and I. Christmas is roughly a week away and my daughter and I still haven't received anything but every other family will and I am quite sure has already. I haven't been home regularly for almost a year and this year we won't even spend Christmas. Because of my harasser and their family and friends. I've been threatened and my child. Of shooting the bitch, that's me. I've been living in a hotel. Tell me why last we I saw out the pep hole my harassers daughter and a male leave the room next door to me passing by my room cursing me and had never crossed paths with me since being at the room? Are tell me why every evening I hear my harassers upstairs cursing me? I told property management that some guy came and was near my car that man bugged my car. Because I would her the lady cursing me everywhere I go. I believe that want people to think I am crazy but far from it. How do I prove my allegations if I don't have nobody that could find the bug that has been planted on my car? She doesn't have any money to pay for the hotel rooms, which means the supervising case management and long time friend is miss using the work finances. Just because the room aren't in her name the hotel rooms are still being paid for in Fremont, CA. Why is anything being paid out so far away and the complex and business is in Alameda, CA? I've informed property management but excuse my French a whole bunch of black workers that lie and try and cover things up. Okay tell me this if Alameda Point Collaborative, has been working closely with the Alameda Police Department, the why has my harasser still allowed too live at the complex? She has over thirty police calls from harassing and attacking other residents. I witnessed one attack on Mother's Day, and that day my harasser's daughters were there and one daughter had just been released from prison after serving over four years. The released criminal started messing with a neighbor and shortly after the whole family started attacking the lady and her young son. Throwing liquor on them through the screen door and spraying mace through the lady door. Police did come but I didn't want too get involved no one went to jail, but I called the supervising case management, told her everything but she just hide everything and nothing was ever done. I informed case management and they say some bullshit like it was report to us nor in a proper manner of time. You tell me if that place is a bunch of crap! I believe they are jealous because I was ordering my daughter so much every time I felt like it but it's not me my Father, in heaven is rich so he showers me with his love...

They moved into well-deserved new digs in Oakland so I worried that my hometown connection might fade. The volunteer coordinator Nicki Guard and her crew of committed volunteer leaders maintain contact via email and social media so that I can still make time for this beloved non-profit whenever my hectic schedule permits. Yesterday I took part in a book leveling party. Several professional women gathered early in the morning at Think College Now School in the Fruitvale and met with the Dean of Instruction and Girls Inc staff for bagels, coffee, and fruit before spending the next few hours organizing the bookroom. We labeled materials to a background of smooth jazz and enjoyed convo about love of books and childhood memories of school.

After ten years of grueling work I was terminated after minor misunderstandings with a supervisor (conflict is normal amongst humans).

After TEN fucking years he couldn't just let me even have the security of unemployment to help me move on to my next job. East Bay Innovations even hired an attorney to fight my unemployment...sick people manage this place. Luckily the judge ruled in my favor because she saw their reason for terminating me was petty so I got my unemployment.

(I wanted to employ someone on-going for Mondays and Tuesdays, and wanted to meet them in person before taking them to my client's space.) Never got a call. Finally midday Monday he texted me the name and phone number of Derick and his phone number. But no background info (did he have experience, did he have a car?) as I had asked for. I called Derick; he was working and had no time for a phone call. I explained about having two days a week work for him and he said that sounded great and he would call me back when he got home. He never called. I think this organization needs to "vet" people more thoroughly before making promises to people looking for a worker. I will not recommend them anymore, and I know lots of gardeners and home owners looking for workers.
