    “They saved our baby girl Nova. When the vet we were at charged us $1200 just for office visit blood work n x-ray, that wasn't enough. They then advised us it was going to cost another $3-5k to perform emergency hysterectomy or within 24 hrs, she would die. One of their staff said to take her to No more homeless pets and even though I didn't have an appointment they took her in. Our family are very Happy to say Nova survived and is doing wonderful. So grateful for everyone here”

    “Wonderful experience. I went for the sale on Sunday and also today. Sunday was busy as all get out, but they have an efficient set up. They provided shading for much of the outdoor line (though there was an area where you are in direct sunlight), and the line moved fairly quickly. They keep track of occupancy for everyone's safety so you're waiting for shoppers to leave. I waited about 15 minutes in line, and there was a water station available. I bought 22 books on Sunday and spent 18 bucks. I bought 11 hardcovers today for 11 bucks. I love supporting Friends of The Library. The crowd, line and heat are easy prices to pay for the amount of books you can find. A friend drove from Okeechobee for the sale Sunday and said it was worth the drive.”

    “Gratefully a friend alerted me to this non profit org., as if you need help with basic needs there is always someone to talk to. The computer lab is great and the bathroom is always clean. Further more, those who work there are empathetic to your problems which is rare. Gainesville would not be the same without this refuge. I truly enjoy the oil mister as the smell soothes my nerves. Thank you for standing up for the lil people.”

    “Update: Megan has been working with us to help with my son’s behaviors and so far so good. She is giving us good tips on how to redirect certain behaviors for a positive outcome, she keeps good communication and try to plan accordingly to our wants and needs. We are very happy with the service and the effort put into it. Thank you! Horrible service! My kid was receiving therapy at this place and got discharged without any paperwork to say what areas they evaluated or how he got evaluated (the therapist, Bella, only took him to the room and observed him play, her words). After a month or so they concluded he didn’t need therapy and wouldn’t give us the information on his evaluation without a court order, even though he is a minor. On the other hand, they recommended family therapy which we agreed to do but it has been 4 months and multiple phone calls but the supervisor wont call back. So far we are very disappointed.”

    “The Red Cross provides humanitarian services that are unparalleled to any other organization. I have spent time as a volunteer in conjunction with TRC, observing first hand devotion they have to protecting human health and welfare. As of Recent, I put in an emergency call for my son to come home from his Naval Post in Virginia so he could be with family while his grandma was dying. The order went straight through and though he did not make it in time to see her before she passed, he was able to visit with other grandparents including his grandfather (my dad), who went into the hospital the day after his wife died and who almost died himself of organ failure. So, thank you, Red Cross, for all you do. You are appreciated!”

    “I’ve been a donor to Insulin for Life USA for several years and continue to be impressed by their accountability, transparency, and dedication to saving lives across the U.S. and around the world. It’s rare to find an organization with people so genuinely committed to their mission. The whole idea of turning surplus supplies into lifesaving support is truly remarkable.”

    “Lovely setting in the middle of a very popular downtown area of parks, shops, eateries, upscale condos and hotels. AND then the homeless have set in. What a tragedy for them and this area. July 2022 and people sleeping all about. The city has an obligation to taxpayers and residents to solve the issue. No excuses. Homelessness degrades a community, encourages vagrants, crime and debris. It increases sanitation issues. Alachua County is supposedly the highest IQ County in Florida. DO SOMETHING ! START CARING ABOUT THOSE LESS FORTUNATE. Its a tragedy in itself but it detracts from a quaint shopping area where owners are trying to do something good for the area and make an honest living.”

    “Pretty good place has some good deals .some items are priced at normal store prices which is mind blowing considering these are donated items. 50.00 dollars for a tent. 40.00 for a plate set.. 75.00 for a small oven. 450.00 for a dresser ? 500.00 for a bed. It wasn't a nice bed either or the dresser I skipped this section”

    “Steve is great. Thank you for providing great advice. I now rent a private 1 bedroom apartment and signed an actual lease instead of paying rent under the table which lead to me being exploited but I have now learned from it and now know how to legally protect myself when renting. The new landlord is kind and respects my space. Thank you! When I build myself up economically I would love to donate money to Three River legal services for being professional and providing great expertise while also being empathetic.”

    “If you see any negative review prior to January 1, 2026, I would advise you to totally disregard it. The community center, formally the north Central Florida YMCA, is in the mid of a phenomenal metamorphosis. It is no longer a corporate enterprise with overpaid executives running the show. In fact, most of the people working there have been employees for the nine years that I have been a member. Under the leadership of the YMCA executives were paid high dollar salaries which meant nothing was available to maintain or improve the facilities. Now with the former employees running the show the transformation is astonishing. New lighting in the gym area makes it highly appealing as a location for die hard and novice exercise and weightlifting enthusiasts or beginners. Although the equipment isn't brand new the variety of different types of equipment allow for anyone to pick and choose which machine or free weight best meets their Need. Nothing goes unprepared and many younger men and women are beginning to join. It should be refreshing and motivating for a lot of the long time older members. If you have not been, I encourage you to visit. I mostly use the gym facilities but they also have a boxing ring area, basketball and Pickleball courts, and a very popular swimming pool. Compared to other gyms in town it is cost-effective. This gem deserves A visit. I've been working out for 57 years in gyms all over the world. It is convenient for me and it is also one of the best gyms I have ever joined.”

I am his sister, Kimberly Gonzalez, and I think he is currently in prison. If anyone has any information they could share, it would be a great help to our family. God bless you.”

    “This store always has the most respectful employees. We have been shopping at this location for years. The manager Dana always goes above and beyond to help us. On a recent visit, we were greeted by Terrance that was a happy, very professional (employee) that helped us load our purchases. Keep up the great work.”
