It is true when someone posted that they say they don't have space as a way to refuse you. They ask you the same interrogative questions over again looking for an issue with your eligibility then of ourselves they refer you away. Hopefully I can file a discrimination case soon. Tired of them.

They have been giving me the run around for weeks. I'm from Middlesex County, but they keep lying saying they only have places in Ocean, then Ocean says they're lying. Today they tried Salem County, why? I'm pregnant and I have Breast cancer, would you make me go there? They do this so you refuse and they don't have to help you. It's a a ploy and sad

When people think of shelters they think something that covers or offers temporary protection but the women's aware is a home . Home to me is where I feel safe, secure, heard and accepted . Women's aware is An organization built up to help women in need like myself . Coming into the women's aware safe placement was terrifying for me considering I was leaving a domestic household behind to go into a place I knew nothing about . I was greeted with the warmest welcome , The staff is great . They provided me with all my necessary necessities (a warm blanket , pillow, rags towels , body wash soap, shampoo & conditioner, tooth brush and bed ) along with these things they provided me with excellent resources. People who could help me get even further . Entering into the women's aware safe placement has to be one of the best decisions Ive made in a long time , I am a new women because of this decision I am stronger, I am happier , I am not a victim but a survivor this was something I learned living inside the women's aware home. I have also met other wonderful women in my situation inside the women's aware. I was assigned 2 amazing case workers that met with me every week to discuss my case , they ensured I never felt lost or had any questions regarding my case . They listened to me , they guided me the best way they knew how and they have never made me feel small or ignored .. I would recommend women's aware 10000 times over . Thank you women's aware staff and community . Most importantly thank you Maggie you guys are doing an amazing job with the program .
