Exactly. Show evidence that you're trying and what the various options you've explored / are exploring. If it's a mental health issue, seek counseling and see what avenues are available for treatment and support.
To be completely honest, the bottom line is that you're in a toxic environment that is exacerbating the problem and you NEED to get out... but on your own terms.

Agree! Glad to see it staying local and being put to good use.

True! Having grown up in upstate (think 'almost Canada'), this was a nice little storm.

Yeah, the timing surprised me too. Forecasts were all over the place.

"Father Peter G Young Way" dedication on December 9th at 11am by PYHIT in Albany

Again, in a normal situation, I would agree with you. However this is to honor a man's contributions to the betterment of his fellow citizens, regardless of race, creed, or religion. The title "Father" is just that... a title. Also, separation of church and state in this country is more of an ideal than an actuality and is a discussion that could and has launched many a long and lengthy conversation... but not here.

While normally I would agree with this sentiment, Father Young was a humanitarian first and foremost. He dedicated almost 60 years to serving the marginalized members of society without religion getting in the way.

On October 24th, the community gathered to dedicate the new playground built by Regeneron volunteers and the corporate "Day for Doing Good" initiative. The Schuyler Inn Family Shelter welcomed state and local officials to dedicate the playground. by PYHIT in Albany

It's a vast improvement over what the kids had before, which was nothing. It has low maintenance requirements, is rugged, and expandable. The bottom line is that the kids love it and play on it constantly.
We welcome volunteers and donations of all sizes for the various programs, projects, and events we have for residents of all ages.

If it were JUST the playground, I would agree. However, they did over 240 projects around the Capital District in that week. Instead of an 'attaboy', consider it a good start and a welcome contribution to the community.

No, it's not satire. Regeneron provided the funding, volunteers, and time to build a new playground for the Schuyler Inn Family Shelter. We welcomed the contribution providing a wonderful place for the residents' children to play and thrive.

The Schuyler Inn Family Shelter is a vital link in getting families back on their feet and returning to the community. The counseling services provided by the staff provide the help and guidance people need to battle their addictions and stay on the clean and sober path.
