I’m sharing my experience because I believe it’s crucial for people to understand that harm can happen even within organizations that present themselves as safe spaces, especially for vulnerable communities. <br> <br>Over the course of about a year, I experienced repeated violations of my physical boundaries by the founder of this organization. Despite my clear and repeated requests to stop unwanted touching and hugging, these boundaries were disregarded. <br> <br>There were instances where the founder made demands that felt like attempts to control access to my body, and when I resisted or spoke up, I faced harassment in response. <br> <br>This was not an isolated incident but a pattern of behavior. When I raised these concerns to the organization, I was told there would be an investigation. However, I was never asked a single question throughout the process, which makes me question the sincerity of that investigation. <br> <br>My therapist, who had previously supported Alphabet Army, wrote a letter on my behalf after learning about what I had experienced. In response, the founder began publicly disparaging my therapist. Originally, I had approached my therapist seeking guidance—not to report the founder—but based on what I shared, my therapist felt ethically obligated to report the matter to Child Protective Services. <br> <br>I want to be clear: I did not come forward lightly. Yet, after speaking out, I have been treated as if I am the danger to the community, simply for telling the truth. <br> <br>How can this organization still have confidence in its leadership when these serious concerns have not been meaningfully addressed? <br> <br>I have witnessed the founder discourage minors from disclosing abuse because it might reflect poorly on her or the organization. I have seen rumors spread and boundary violations happen, and I have seen the organization protect its founder while ignoring those trying to raise alarms. <br> <br>This is not about holding a grudge. I am speaking up to protect others from harm that has already occurred. <br> <br>My hope is for a genuine apology and meaningful steps toward accountability and safety for everyone involved.

Unfortunately i have to give this organization a bad review. As you see they help most people and trust me its the ones they choose but not all of us. My husband and I came to this place for help. Me being bisexual I assumed I could get help from them. The manager Jerry has been fake and rude to us since the day I came in. She is extremely wonderful to most people but not to us. The favoritism with people is extremely harsh if she doesn't like you!!! She has gone out of her way to make me feel like I'm wasting her time and not welcome. I have tried to kiss her ass but she won't give me the time of day. I have been homeless due to my 23 year old sons untimely death and she has made my life worst by her rudeness. I was camped outside their building for over a week and they called the police on me and had them take all my belongings to the dump. Max has tolerated us because we have 2 puppies but has not gave one crap about our homeless situation. He has helped so many people on this page but why not us? I just want to show the side that no one sees. I have been treated so poorly by so many people because I am homeless and want everyone to know we have feelings and need some compassion...more than anyone else. Me loosing my precious son has sent me off the edge but nonprofits are suppose to help those of us who cant help ourselves. Before my son passed away I gave to this organization because my best friends were in this community but I regret it now.

A group of highly unprofessional, sloppy, insensitive individuals. As an auditor, my advice is not to give these people a dime. I just came from their karaoke event they'd been advertising for nearly a month. Everything about reeked "disaster" and "inept." But what hurt the most was how cruel these people were.<br><br>First, the email said be there at 7:30 and karaoke at 8pm. It was nearly 9pm and we were just told it would be another 15 minutes to start. Second, one of the staff kept putting his hands on me. I’ve asked him TWICE to stop doing so because I was so uncomfortable by it. Imagine a complete stranger, constantly putting his hands on you, as if he knows you, even after you indicate STOP. TWICE. Under California law, this is battery. Third and most damning was that I asked, in no uncertain terms, for a song over 2 weeks in advance. And like clockwork, the bar and athlete ally are arguing over whose fault it is rather than fixing a horrible mistake. This song was a dedication to my late fiancé. It's a thing I've started sharing with the world. I sing a song to him at karaoke bars hoping he knows how much I still love him. Because I should've told him, but I wasn't out yet. I wanted to share this beautiful ritual with Athlete Ally tonight. And these a**h***s were too self absorbed to care about anything other than blaming someone else. Not fixing the mistake. Not apologize and committing to doing much better. Not apologizing for my loss. No, just shrugging it off, like I was unimportant. Like my request was merely a tiny little detail that wasn't worth their time or energy. And then to top it all off, I was told subtitles for speakers (not the songs but people who are speaking and presenting) would not be available, even though this is a violation of both state AND federal law.<br><br>Shame on you, Athlete Ally. Shame on you. Thank you for ruining my night and my romantic gesture to my late fiancé. I was intending to donate $100. I will not be donating — not now, not ever. And I hope everyone else follows my advice.
