Bonita Springs Assistance Office - Bonita Springs, Florida

A single mother of two with no means and in dire financial crisis does not qualify for this service because she is a Realtor and can’t provide proof of long term income ( even after explaining to them that Realtors only get paid off commissions). All the proofs provided isn’t sufficient. I’m flabbergasted by this organization which I was referred to as the best in town who could help. but to my surprise, the ones who are in most dire needs don’t qualify, only people with a full time job and can show strong financial support can get approved. They show no compassion whatsoever and very condescending about people’s situations.
Thanks for your time Grace

I am writing to sincerely thank you for the exceptional support and guidance I received from your office during our recent meeting.

The orientation was both comprehensive and immensely helpful in addressing my concerns. I am particularly grateful to Ms. Caily Finger, the Operations Manager, for taking the time to explain everything with such clarity and care.

The information provided has already begun to make a positive difference in my situation, giving me greater confidence as I move forward. Your assistance has been a beacon of hope and understanding during a challenging period.

Thank you once again for your invaluable support. Please convey my gratitude to the entire team for their exemplary service.

With appreciation,

I have always been a supporter of Bonita Springs Assistance Office and referred people to them that were struggling due to hard times and they always got the help they needed. I worked hard and until recently held a great job for 17 years. My fiance had his 2nd heart attack in 2015 was uninsured and was told he was in the ending stages of congestive heart failure and would need a new heart in 4 years, he is also diabetic. My entire savings went to his medical expenses I picked up a second job on top of my 60 plus hour a week salaried job to make ends meet. When he had his 3rd severe heart attack in 2018 and wasnt expected to survive by some miracle and the help of great Doctors and bystanders that performed CPR on him for 10 minutes until paramedics arrived he woke up 2 days later. I had to take care of him and we no longer had the finances and life we once had but his health and great attitude made not having money ok, he went on disability which wasnt much but allowed us to live. He has always helped those less fortunate then him and would give someone the last 20$ out of his pocket if they were worse off, I reassured him good things happen to good people and we'd be ok. Our home in bonita started to need repairs that were to costly on one income and we lost our home to foreclosure. His disability was cancelled temporarily to await medical review that can take up to 4 months to reinstate. He was too proud to ask for help and a little embarrassed but he made his way to Bonita Springs Assistane Office when things hit bottom. Their staff was kind, empathetic and helped us the best that they could. A little goes a long way when your life has been turned upside down. They are there for people in crisis and will help those that have nowhere else to turn to. We had to wait a little bit but to us that's ok because it was worth the small amount of time in our lives to talk to people face to face that have a job they love and is all about helping people that really truly need their help. Teri and LydMarie were very kind. Sandy the volunteer in the food bank was super helpful taking us around and helping us select items. We were never uncomfortable and felt a sigh of relief leaving that maybe things were going to be ok. This is a great organization to support, donate to and go if you are really in crisis. They have the resources to help and great programs to get people lives back on track. If you are expecting a permanent solution for lifes problems they can help you get a great start to overcome those issues but it's up to you to better your situation. Once things get better we will definitely make it a point to give back so the next person that walks into their doors feeling hopeless has the same experience we did. Thank You BSA!
