Review for Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 2 stars  

I have been an avid supporter of RAINN for years. Sadly, when a teen required assistance, and both myself and someone else attempted to contact RAINN repeatedly through different media for help for the teen - phone, online, twitter, and we were completely ignored. Perhaps RAINN has gotten too large to respond to everyone in need - or just those that are not high profile (I realize that not many care about foster children, as ill as this makes me personally).

Role:  Donor & I donated to RAINN repeatedly and have contacted them for assistance, which I was unable to receive.
