Raphael House of Portland

First allow me to say that I hope none of you ever need to ask for help from a domestic violence advocacy center/shelter but if u do And you get the opportunity to stay in their shelter your life will never be the same. The men and women who work at the Raphael house are some of the most beautiful souls I’ve ever met in my entire life. They go above and beyond to ensure your safety,privacy, emotional, mental and physical needs are met. I feel truly blessed for the time I spent in their shelter which is clean and provides everything u would need fleeing to a dv shelter but not only that after you leave their shelter they don’t just abandon you and say nice to meet you, the continuously provide resources and support for any needs u might have for you as long as you need them to. I don’t know where my life would be today had they not taken me in and showed me the kindness that they did and provides me a space to change my life for the better. I know everyone has a different experience but I truly don’t see how anyone can say anything bad about the Raphael house and I’ll never forget their kindness and help for the rest of my life.
