My Nonprofit Reviews

Both my husband and I got involved with The Nest (HEAL) because its goals and philosophy are what we strive to maintained.
Domestic Violence has touched our lives in a very personal way, and because of this we have supported The Nest in any way we possibly could.
Even though I no longer sit on the Board I volunteer any way I can. Whether it is on a committee or traveling to Santa Fe to Lobby for more funding, I will be there for them
Many do not realize that Grants are aimed at specific projects and are great in their own right), or that the funding received from the State is distributed through a single agency and must cover the entire state, and all organizations dealing with Domestic Violence and Child Abuse.
When the Grants run out or are not available and the state funding is cut, the expenses of running the The Nest still remain. Over the past several years the funding from all areas has begun to dry up. This means that programs like, Education and Outreach must take a back-seat so that the basic needs of the women and children of The Nest can be met in the best way possible.
Domestic Violence is a fact in the United States. Only we as citizens can change how Domestic Violence is perceived. Until that time the need for Women's shelters is growing at and alarming rate and that means that we as citizens must support them in any way we can. From personal donations, and volunteering to communication with our State and Federal Representatives to advise them of the needs of these women and their children.
It is my opinion The Nest (HEAL) is the best run and provides the safest environment of ANY shelter in the United States and should become the proto-type for all shelters.
It is further my wish the the need for shelters become non existent, but that can only happen with the ending of Domestic Violence and Child Abuse.
