Not sure if this is the usual response given here but I made a report with the help of this shelter and was told they would look into things and call me back (both the officer and the staff here said this to me)..long story short I have been into the main office 3-4 different times to check in because I never received a follow up phone call or anything to check in. My guess is this place is highly understaffed. It would be better to admit that tho instead of gambling with peoples lives. We turn to shelters like this when we have run out of other options so this was a huge let down..it has been over 3 months and I STILL have not received a call from anyone…and the context of what had been going on for me was pretty bad to just be ignored…

Good Evening review reader's I actually am a domestic violence survivor in Wilmington North Carolina I came to the Open Gate with a positive attitude even though I'm at a lowest point in my life being displaced for years and I was denied because she said it wasn't any funding and couldn't receive a voucher for help when another woman just walked past me and said that she received help and even asked me to leave the facility when I was waiting for ny sister talk about women empowerment it really doesn't exist here. What do you think?? Mother of six with no help homeless and abused she wouldn't even take the the time to give me resources

No words can express how incredibly fabulous ladies truly arè!!! I'm forever grateful for all they have done for me and my situation. I feel like I've made a new family because of all the support, love , and peace they have given me! Thank you my sunshines!!
