YOU GUYS ARE ROCK STARS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! FOR HELPING MY LIL FAMILY AND I...we still have a lot of work to do...but please don't ever stop helping women like me. I love you all!!!! Thank you so much!!!

This is the worst place ever ! I wouldn’t advise no women with children to go here. They treat you how they want to treat you also they kept asking me to take one of my daughters home ?????? They don’t do no type of dv classes they don’t help you do anything but put you’re kids in school ? And that can be done by myself like I have done. They look down on you instead of lifting you up. They do it all for a check Very rude and they try to put me in a trailer home that was shot up and had another family living in there ? I think the city really needs to check this place out they provide you food and you can also bring youre own food but are only allowed to eat at 7am 1.pm and 8 pm they will lock the kitchen I lost tons of weight in this place. Terrible experience please watch out and be careful

I left a violent, abusive situation with no money, phone, or help. While it was good to get away from the abusers, the shelter is not active in getting women the help they need and are often abusive and judgmental towards the women there and do definitely play favorites. The favorite while I was there had 2 out of control toddlers who watched a lot of horror films while she flirted with men on FaceBook (which you are not supposed to connect with while there). I was told I would have no ability to stay after the six weeks and ended up taking a one-way bus ticket to Minnesota along with one of the women I met while there. I have a new and better life here that would not at all have been available to me there. There are no proper programs, no counseling, and no advocacy in assistance. Anything that you need is either brushed off or made to feel as though it inconveniences them. Again, I was glad to be away from the abuse, but the majority of the staff is incredibly abusive by themselves.
