The Hidden Crisis: Homeless Service Demands Increase
Despite Drop In Point-In-Time
By Cornie Thornburgh, Chair of The
Lord’s
Place Board of Directors
As Board Chair of The Lord’s Place, a local nonprofit providing programs and services to end homelessness, we serve our most vulnerable neighbors. On any given night there are thousands of men, women, and children – hidden in the shadows of Palm Beach County’s paradise – who do not
have a safe and permanent place to call home.
Annually, we participate in the U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD)mandated Point-in-Time Count (PIT). PIT is a count
Count
of sheltered and unsheltered people experiencing homelessness on a single night in January. As reported by The Palm Beach Post , the January 2025 PIT count recently released reflects 1,520 individuals and
families in Palm Beach County who are struggling without a place to call home. This reflects a decrease of more than 28 percent, after staggering increases that were reported in 2023 and 2024.
Although the count is a vital tool for resource development and planning, it serves as one measure of Palm Beach County’s progress in decreasing homelessness and success in housing homeless populations. The recent statewide legislation makes it illegal to camp on public property and has led many of those we seek to move into the shadows. This makes it increasingly difficult to get accurate results.
The School District of Palm Beach County uses another tool to count public school students who are experiencing homelessness. According to the school district’s latest count, there are 4,252 students in our county without a place to call home.

Key contributors to the event were Anna Flowers – floral arrangements, Sand & Salt Salon – hair and makeup for Warrior children, Garb – clothing for Warrior Runway, Jupiter Golf Carts – donated a golf cart to the live auction, Alexis Bleiler and Jaxel Media – Gala video, Jupiter Wedding Photo and Tracey Benson – photography for event.
The evening’s live auction, led by auctioneer Neil Saffer, opened with an emotionally charged moment as a painting created by Warrior Deneilia B., who is bravely battling neuroblastoma, was auctioned for $10,000—with every dollar going directly to support her fight. Later, a Jack Nicklaus portrait by acclaimed sports artist Kyle Lucks, personally autographed by the golf legend himself, became one of the night’s most coveted items, helping to drive substantial contributions to the foundation’s mission.
“This event is about more than fundraising – it’s about giving these Warrior children and their families the recognition, support, and community they deserve,” said Lori Griffith, founder of Chasin A Dream, in her emotional speech. “Over 92% of every dollar donated to Chasin A Dream goes directly toward our families, and your donations, sponsorship, and show of support tonight helps us provide vital resources and relief to children facing unimaginable challenges.”
To support Chasin A Dream Foundation, donations can be made through their website at chasinadream.org, and volunteers are always welcomed to join the mission.

Cervical Disc Herniation: A Pain In The Neck That Is Treatable
Cervical (neck) disc herniation is seen in many age groups. This problem is becoming more common as people spend hours each day with their neck bent to look at computers, tablets or cell phones. Ivan Stoev, M.D., a neurosurgeon at Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital, answers some commonly asked questions about cervical disk herniation. What Is A Herniated Disc?
The spinal column is made up of a series of bones called vertebrae. Between the vertebrae are flat, round cushioning pads called intervertebral discs, which act as shock absorbers. Each disc has a soft rubbery center made of cartilage like our ear lobe. A herniated disc ‒ also called a slipped or ruptured disc ‒ occurs when pressure from the vertebrae above and below force some or all of the “rubbery cartilage” through a weakened part of the outer layer of the disc.
What Are The Symptoms Of A Herniated Disc?
Neck pain, headache, pain radiating down the arm or in the shoulder, and numbness or weakness in the fingers are all signs.
How Is A Herniated Disc Diagnosed?
Your physician can order a variety of tests to determine the cause of neck or shoulder pain, such as X-rays or MRI or CT scans, sometimes with dye is injected into the spinal canal.
Another test is an electromyelogram, which involves placing small needles into muscles and measuring their response.
How Is A Herniated Disc Treated?
Some improve on their own. Physical therapy, steroidal medication and traction can help improve them too, as can spinal injections known as epidurals or nerve blocks. For more serious cases, surgery to decompress the nerve root and remove a small part of the disc gives pain relief. For extreme neck and arm pain, we can remove the entire disc, replace it with a bone graft or artificial disc. Most patients can resume normal activities 6 to 8 weeks after surgery.

Golden Heart Luncheon Celebrates Barbara Nicklaus
And Raises Over $1.1 Million For Children’s Health Care
Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation raised more than $1.1 million, a new record, for world-class pediatric care during its annual Golden Heart Luncheon. Held at The Country Club at Mirasol on February 28, the luncheon honored Barbara Nicklaus on her 85th birthday.
The sold-out event was filled with surprises and touching moments at every turn. Marie Osmond, singer-actress and cofounder of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, gave a heartfelt and inspiring speech. Christian Guardino, a Children’s Miracle Network “Miracle Patient,” a semifinalist on America’s Got Talent, and a top contender on American Idol, delivered a soulful performance of several songs. In a touching moment, Zachary “Lucky” DeTray, a former patient of the Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, made a special appearance for his dear friend Barbara. The afternoon concluded with a surprise birthday cake and happy birthday wishes from friends, family members, and her husband, Jack Nicklaus.
Jack and Barbara Nicklaus founded the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation in 2004. It was founded in an effort to provide families access to the best level of pediatric health care in Palm Beach County and beyond. Raising $216 million to date, the foundation supports Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, which has helped children from every state in the union and 119 countries. The foundation also gives back to many other children’s health care organizations across the country and around the world.

How To Cope With Market Volatility
By Sally Sima Stahl, Edward Jones
The financial markets always go through periods of instability. And we may see more of that now, given concerns about tariffs, inflation and the economy. As an investor, how can you deal with this volatility?
Some investors try to take advantage of market ups and downs by attempting to follow the age-old advice to “buy low and sell high” – that is, they seek to buy stocks when they feel prices have bottomed out and they sell stocks when they think the market has reached a high point. In theory, this is a great idea, but in practice, it’s essentially impossible, because no one can really predict market highs and lows.
Rather than trying to anticipate highs and lows, your best strategy for coping with the price fluctuations of the financial markets is to diversify your investment portfolio by owning a mix of stocks, bonds and other types of securities. Different types of financial assets can move in different directions at any given time – so, for example, stocks may be up while bonds
And, as observed by The Lord’s Place staff, we are seeing an ever-increasing number of local residents seeking services because they no longer have a secure roof over their heads. Since our fiscal year began July 1, 2024, we have served a total of 1,891 men, women, and children so far – an additional 312 individuals experiencing homelessness compared to the previous year-to-date.
The great news is that the county and community partners, like The Lord’s Place, are working harder than ever to serve our at-risk neighbors. As an example, previous PIT count surveys showed a rise in senior homelessness which led The Lord’s
are down, or vice versa. If you only owned one of these types of assets, and the market for that asset class was down, your portfolio could take a bigger hit than if you owned a variety of asset types.
And you can further diversify within individual asset categories. Stocks can be domestic or international, largecompany or small-company – and these groupings can also move in different directions at the same time, depending on various market forces. As for bonds, they too don’t always move in a uniform direction, or at least with the same intensity – for instance, when interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, but longer-term bonds may fall more than shorter-term ones, which are closer to maturity with fewer interest payments remaining. Conversely, when rates are falling, longer-term bonds may be more attractive because they lock in higher yields for a longer time. Consequently, one diversification technique for bonds is to build a “ladder” containing bonds of varying maturities.
Some investments, by their nature, are already somewhat diversified. A mutual fund can contain dozens, or even hundreds, of stocks, or a mixture of stocks and bonds. And different mutual funds may have different investment objectives – some focus more on growth, while others are more income-oriented – so, further diversification can be achieved by owning a mix of funds.
Furthermore, some investors achieve even greater diversification by owning alternative investments, such as real estate, commodities and cryptocurrencies, although these vehicles themselves are often more volatile than those in more traditional investment categories.
Place to recently open Burckle Place III, an intergenerational housing facility for 21 women. We are also getting ready to open Bill’s Place, a facility for men 55 years and older.
The not-so-good news is this year’s decreased PIT count could mean a reduction in allocated federal and state resources to provide housing and supportive services designed to assist individuals and families out of homelessness and into stability. The unsettling reality is a gap exists between the number of unhoused people we count and the actual number who lack permanent shelter – perhaps those who are couch surfing, living in their cars, hidden in wooded areas, encampments, or at work or school. Therefore, we continue to face a shortfall in the resources we have to serve this population.
While a diversified portfolio is important for every investor, your exact level of diversification – the percentages of your portfolio devoted to stocks, bonds and other securities – will depend on your individual risk tolerance, time horizon and financial goals. You may want to consult with a financial professional about creating the diversified investment mix that’s right for your needs.
Ultimately, while diversification can’t guarantee profits or protect against all losses, it can help you reduce some of the risks associated with investing and better prepare you to deal with the inevitable volatility of the financial markets – two key benefits that can help you over the many years you’ll spend as an investor.

Now more than ever, agencies like ours are having to turn to private donors to mitigate the impact of these potential cuts to ensure continued support for our neighbors in need.
The Lord’s Place, along with the county and our community partners, will continue to play a key role in advocating for more resources. As ambassadors for those experiencing homelessness, our work will never be done until every individual in Palm Beach County is accounted for and has a home.

Four Ways To Approach Reading Problems
By Jim Forgan, Ph.D., Licensed School Psychologist
Your child’s reading problems are real-life problems since reading is required in all school subjects. The percentage varies depending on the definition of “reading problems,” but approximately 20 percent of children have reading problems. This includes conditions like dyslexia and other reading difficulties. There are four ways to approach your child’s reading problems. The least favorable approach is a wait and see approach. Some parents are told statements such as, “Give it more time
and she’ll catch on soon,” or “Boys are just slower to read than girls.” Well-intentioned advice can actually cause your child considerable setback. Kindergarten through second grade is when children concentrate on learning to read but from third grade onward children must read to learn. Hence, mandatory third grade retention if your child does not pass the high stakes reading testing.
A second approach is for you to work with your child at home. While you might not be a professional teacher, you can teach your child to read by purchasing reading materials. One parent book is Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons. You might require your child to use reading websites such as ABC Mouse, Starfall, Raz-Kids, or Nessy. These supports help many children learn to read.
Many parents hire a tutor as a third approach to reading struggles. I recommend one-to-one reading tutoring as
the best way to make reading gains. There are plenty of teachers tutoring after school at libraries, homes, and businesses. Most schoolteachers who tutor use an eclectic approach to teaching reading.
Call for school neurological testing when your parental instinct is telling you your child’s struggles are more than developmental and might be dyslexia. In this approach we test for dyslexia and other learning disabilities. Our testing pinpoints exactly what is causing the struggle so you can provide targeted support rather than try and see support. If it is dyslexia, Florida gives parents money to help with tutoring costs.
Call (561) 625-4125 if you would like to discuss your concerns for dyslexia, ADHD, autism, or anxiety. Learn more at www.JimForgan.com.
Unclaimed Funds In Florida: A Guide For Beneficiaries To Claim Funds Held By The State Of Florida
By Anné DesormierCartwright, JD, Esq.
In Florida, unclaimed funds or property can sometimes end up in the custody of the state under its unclaimed property program. These funds may include bank accounts, insurance proceeds, uncashed checks, refunds, and other financial assets that have been abandoned or forgotten by their rightful owners or beneficiaries. Florida’s Department of Financial Services oversees these funds, often referred to as being “held in trust” for the rightful owner or their beneficiaries. This article provides an overview of the process for beneficiaries to claim funds, the escheatment process, and the circumstances under which funds are transferred to the state.
What Is Escheatment?
Escheatment is the process by which unclaimed or abandoned property is turned over to the state. In Florida, this typically occurs when financial assets are deemed abandoned after a specific period of inactivity, known as the dormancy period. For most financial accounts, the dormancy period is five years, but it can vary depending on the type of property.
Circumstances under which funds escheat to the state include:
• No activity or contact by the property owner during the dormancy period.
• The property holder (e.g., a bank, insurance company, or employer) is unable to locate the rightful owner or beneficiary.
• The owner or beneficiary has passed away, and the heirs or estate representatives have not claimed the funds.
Once the dormancy period has expired, the property is transferred to the state’s unclaimed property program. Unlike some states, Florida does not take ownership of these funds permanently; the state holds the funds indefinitely in trust for the rightful owner or their beneficiaries.
How To Check For Unclaimed Funds In Florida
Florida provides a user-friendly system called Florida Treasure Hunt, operated by the Department of Financial Services. Beneficiaries can search for unclaimed funds in the database by entering the name of the deceased owner or their own name.
Steps to check for unclaimed property:
1. Visit the Florida Treasure Hunt website located at www. fltreasurehunt.gov.
2. Enter the name of the deceased or account holder.
3. Review the search results to identify property that may belong to you.
Claiming Funds As A Beneficiary
As a beneficiary, you must provide documentation to establish your right to the funds. The process generally involves:
1. Filing a Claim: Begin the claim process on the Florida Treasure Hunt website by selecting the property and submitting a claim online.
2. Providing Documentation: Submit proof of your identity and entitlement to the funds. This may include:
• A copy of your government-issued photo ID.
• Proof of relationship to the deceased owner (e.g., a will, trust document, or court order).
• Death certificate of the deceased owner.
• Additional documents such as letters of administration if you are representing an estate.
3. Verification and Approval: The Department of Financial Services will review your claim and contact you if additional information is needed. Once verified, the state will release the funds to you.
Important Notes For Beneficiaries
• No Expiration Date for Claims: In Florida, unclaimed
funds held by the state do not have an expiration date. You or your heirs can claim these funds at any time.
• Avoid Third-Party Fees: While some companies offer to locate and claim unclaimed property on your behalf, this service typically comes with a fee. Beneficiaries can claim funds directly from the state for free.
Conclusion
If you suspect that you are the beneficiary of unclaimed funds held by the State of Florida, the process to recover them is straightforward and accessible. The Florida Treasure Hunt program is a valuable resource to locate and claim what is rightfully yours. Escheatment laws ensure that these funds are preserved, and Florida’s indefinite holding policy protects your ability to claim them, regardless of the time elapsed. By acting promptly and following the state’s procedures, beneficiaries can successfully recover unclaimed funds and honor the legacy of the deceased property owner.

estate to avoid having unclaimed funds, schedule a free consultation today by calling our office at (561) 6947827, Anné Desormier-Cartwright, Esq., Elder and Estate Planning Attorneys PA, 480 Maplewood Drive, Suite 3, Jupiter, FL 33458.

A Day In The Life At The Pet
Cottage: Where Every Tail Tells A Story
Tucked away in Jupiter Farms is a place where pets who’ve lost their humans find love, care and a promise: they will never be alone again. The Pet Cottage is a sanctuary for pets whose people have passed away, become disabled or deployed. Once accepted into the program, these pets are promised a home for life.
Most of the 62 pets currently in their care live with Forever Guardians in the community. But some— those with medical or behavioral needs— stay at the sanctuary, including 14 dogs and one cat who live on-site.
A typical day begins well before sunrise.
“At 3:40 a.m., GiGi, a senior Jack Russell with dementia and Cushing’s disease, let me know she was ready to go out and eat,” shares the founder.
“So, up we go.”
Dashie, a pit bull mix, and Angel, a senior chihuahua, join GiGi on the early morning outing. The rest of the dogs remain sleeping in their cozy crates or
small cottages on the property. After morning meditation and journaling, the founder starts her work for The Pet Cottage— writing grants and planning the day.
By 7 a.m., it’s light enough to begin the full morning routine. Elvis, a large shepherd mix, is let out into his favorite park. Peanut, Sugar Baby and Tuffy are next, bounding with energy. Poppy and Auggie, a bonded pair of cocker spaniels awaiting placement, follow soon after.
Poop is scooped, tails are wagged and fresh air is enjoyed before everyone heads back inside. Nine of the dogs eat the same food, while a few are on special diets. Medications are handed out, and the feeding routine stretches across the main house and
Three Reasons To College Plan The Summer Before Senior Year
By Peggy Forgan, M.Ed., College Planner
The summer before your senior year of high school is a critical time for college planning. Rising seniors will be applying to colleges in just four to five months and there’s a lot to get done. By planning ahead, you can reduce stress and ensure you’re prepared for the exciting but busy months ahead.
First, start by researching colleges that align with your goals, considering factors like location, size, academic programs, and campus culture. Create a list of schools you’re interested in and arrange virtual tours. Then, begin organizing application materials.
Second, if you need to retake the SAT or ACT, the summer provides time for preparation. Many students
the two additional cottages that house bonded pairs like Mister and Beary, and Dottie and BJ.
By 8:30 a.m., staff and volunteers begin arriving.
Chloe, the volunteer coordinator, joins the morning pack walk— Angel in her stroller and the rest on leashes. A Facebook Live posting captures the fun for followers. Back inside, crates are cleaned and dogs are rotated depending on needs.
Sophie, a shy Maltipoo, eats breakfast in the guest room. “She was traumatized and isn’t comfortable with the other dogs, or many people—except me,” the founder says. Throughout the morning, volunteers help with cleaning, organizing donations, giving baths and, of course, showering the dogs with affection. The part-time assistant handles data tracking and veterinary records from one of the cottages, keeping dogs company while she works.
By mid-morning, the founder is in the office thanking donors, writing grants and preparing for board meetings. Some days include vet visits—The Pet Cottage pays for all medical care for the life of each pet. In the afternoons, meetand-greets are held with prospective guardians, with guidance from Franzi, their professional dog trainer.
By 4 p.m., it’s dinnertime. Dogs are fed, medications are given and evening routines begin. The day winds down with playtime, last walks and cuddles.
By 8:30 p.m., the house is quiet. Everyone is fed, safe and resting.
“It’s a full, beautiful day,” the founder reflects. “Busy— and so satisfying. I love my life.”
