I survived domestic violence, so I drove 20 minutes out of my way to donate items that were like new, used once for my wedding, and some expensive clothing. The man who accepted the items was incredibly rude and seemed to have a smoldering anger as if he were an abusive person. I handed him a bag and told him there were drinking glasses in the bag that had been used once. As I went to grab another box, I saw him toss something and then heard a sound like glass breaking. It's been almost a week now, and I still feel horrible about the entire experience. I shouldn't feel bad after making a donation of items that i could have sold myself. I don't understand why this man is working at a thrift store that raises money for domestic violence.

28 day stay & case management doesn't help you find a new place to go after that. So if you're a single (no kids) you're homeless or you go back to your abusive ex - what I'm doing because it's too cold to sleep outside. There was no hot water in the bathroom/shower, no hand soap & very little cleaning supplies. House Staff does do basic cleaning after hours. Counseling felt more like a police interview than trying to help me get over what my ex did.
