I spent almost a year in that place, I am sure it was one of my best experiences of my life, it was in 2017 that I was there and I missed my friends too much. I want to return to that place to say hello, if they are still there, MR CARLOS the teacher, and Ms CARLA Mrs. YURY, we didn't love her very much because she was bad hahahahaha
I'm Edin Sarmiento and I spent 5 months at Mercy First. I just appreciate everything they did for me. I fell in love with that place. When they told me I was leaving there, I just threw myself into bed and cried. Thank you all very much. If anyone of the Who knew me, look at this, I thank you very much and I will never forget you.
I put my son here when he was 15 and he came back the same boy i used to know. He is 27 now, we moved out of NY right after his release. At 1st he ran away and came home to me but when i explained he would have to stay to get better he stood. Best thing i did for him. Idk about the reviews of abuse because my son never told me about any abuse and he was put here voluntarily by me and knew anything funny he would b taken out into another one. I also didnt give a chance of any negligence as i was there 4-5x a week. Every week! And spoke with him all day on the weekends. We did family counseling, went to every meeting and event and had a great rapport with each counselor...read full review
