Community Services/Non-Profits near Hamburg, NY

“The cats are great. I volunteered there for a short time and after a some time, I didn't feel good about it. The human element there needs work. There is a lack of kindness regarding people and when I was there, I felt ineffective, just tossed into the mix to sink or swim. I couldn't feel good about my commitment to helping. So I stopped. The cats are beautiful babies though.”

“If you have a special needs child you must learn about this place. They are ACTUALLY inclusive, unlike a lot of places that say they are but then ask you to not come back =D.Seriously- they understand what it's like to be turned away form places, or be told your child is too difficult. They made this space for us. They know how it is, and they never, ever turn a child away. They just make sure they have the right resources in place to accommodate them.They host free play sessions, and have very reasonable rates for paid activities. They have a drop-off social skills class every Saturday, and they run week long events during school breaks. My kid did SO well at this last one!Everyone there is so loving to all the kids, and so understanding. They work with them and make sure everyone feels special and loved. I can't say enough great things about this organization! We even had our sons last birthday party there!!!”

“Ten Lives Club helped reunited me with my cat after he became lost recently. They went above and beyond to contact me and took excellent care of him while he was with them. They also gave some helpful advice and suggested some useful products for him when he was recovered. Thank you so much Ten Lives Club!”

“The facilities are quite excellent. The sauna has just recently been completely refurbished and is quite nice.I'd give it 5 stars if only some of the patrons there could realize that the sauna/hot tub/steam room are often a place where a person wants to experience a bit of relaxing solitude instead of hearing folks discuss the minutiae of their daily experiences AT THE LOUDEST POSSIBLE SPEAKING LEVEL.I took to the swimming pool to escape someone's conversation about accounting and, no word of exaggeration, I could still hear them droning on from the far end of the pool with my ears under water.I am not supposing that people not be allowed to speak to one another whatsoever, but it's fairly rude and oblivious to have to endure people as much as shouting to someone two feet away from them in what might otherwise be a placid aquatic environment.Still, it's not implicitly the YMCA's responsibility for thee LOUD TALKERS WITH NO SELF-AWARENESS, but it doesn't make the experience bthe Haven of quietude that some of us seek.”

“The staff is nice., I had just been there on Oct 23, 2023 to see my Dr./Dentist. He was a very kind, well educated gentleman. When I called the office to schedule an appt. to see him the first week of Feb. 2024 I was informed he had suddenly passed away. I was shocked, because he seemed healthy & fine in Oct. 2023. They told me it was sudden & that he had passed away the end of Jan. 2024. I had asked how, but I was told it was confidential. So I went to meet with a different Dentist on Feb., 8, 2024. I was very concerned about what had happened to my Dr./Dentist. Especially, because I really liked him & he wasn't very old. I'd guess maybe in his 60's. I went to my appt on Feb. 08, 2024 & met with a new lady Dentist. While waiting for the lady Dentist to come into the room, the Dental Assistant, who I was familiar with came in to the room. I asked her what had happened to my original Dr./Dentist, because I was very concerned & sort of in shock that he had just passed away less than two weeks prior to me being there. The Assistant who was also a very friendly kind person informed me that my original Dr./Dentist had had brain cancer for approx. the last year & had kept it to himself, yet still was working. I felt what a strong individual my old Dr./Dentist had been to come to work with such a positive attitude & help his patients with their dental issues & concerns & not tell his co-workers what he was going through for the last year at least. I was sad to find out that he had passed away, but was so inspired by knowing that he had been such a positive person to continue to help his patients for the past year, all while living with such a terrible problem of hisown & knowing he didn't have much time left here on earth. I am in awe at my past Dr./Dentist's strength & courage. What a wonderful man he was. He will definitely be missed & forever remembered by me for being so kind, compassionate, & strong willed. Although, he is now gone, he inspired me beyond such great depths, because from May of 2023, until currently I have gone from 120 lbs. down to 93.4 lbs. & my Dr./Dr.'s haven't been able to determine what is wrong with me, which has caused me to be quite depressed. By learning the news of my past Dr./Dentist & what a courageous person he was, although no longer here, he has stilled helped me greatly. He will forever be remembered by me. I hope someday we will meet again & I can thank him for helping me beyond my dental issues & inspiring me beyond words.”

“A lot of the pieces were dated or had small imperfections. I didn't find much I would personally like but maybe in a few months I will return and find something special.”

“I had missed court a few times for two different speeding tickets! At the time I had just recently lost my mom dad and brother ! When I came into speak with the clerk she was more than helpful and kind ! I was able to handle everything right with her at the window and was givin a more then reasonable fine with no points! She also gave me more than enough time to come up with the money and allowed me to make payments ! We all make mistakes and sometimes procrastinate on handling them ! The understanding and kindness I was shown was unforgettable! I have been to traffic court only 4 times in my life but not always treated kindly! So I appreciate what you all do! At the end of the day you have a job to do but choosing to do it with kindness and respect is a choice and for that I respect the west senica court very much ! Even the office who pulled me over was more then kind givin the situation! Keep up the good work ! It’s not an easy job working in the courts or being an officer, showing up and doing it with kindness, respect and compassion isn’t easy either givin the world we live in ! So thank you ! Stay kind !”

“I really do like this place all of you haters are overreacting and what so wrong with a consular disagreeing with you on some things and having more then one consular helps you with your different mental health stuff”
