Review for Care Net, Lansdowne, VA, USA
When I first came to CareNet I was a scared, sick, homeless woman. The women there were so warm and loving. I didn't feel out of place or judged. The wealth of comfort and knowledge I received will never be forgotten. If, for whatever reason, I missed a an appointment, they would call and check on me. Even after I had my Alyssa I continued to go and they continued to help in any way they could. They were a huge blessing in my life. I have recommended them room family and friends and those that went had an equally pleasant experience.

Review for Bethany House Of Northern Virginia Inc, Mc Lean, VA, USA
I was originally excited to have found a so called "Christian" organization. I thought I had finally found a chance to be in a caring and safe place for myself and daughter to escape the abusive situation at home. I was sadly mistaken. They have bedbugs, however, never informed me of this. I had to learn it from another client. Three months, a staff-infection, and still to date, have bedbugs. Despite my complaints or concerns, only minimal attempts were made. The "playroom" that children are allowed to play in has no heating source at all. The house manager was beyond rude; spoke down to me, spoke about me, broke the law by opening &reading my mail. (Which is NOT policy ), she grabbed my daughter by the arm and yelled are her. This horrified my 2 year old, and made her cry and hide. I was refused my right to speak with a director and as a result of standing up for myself and my rights as a disabled mother, they claimed I was non-compliant and told me I had to be gone that very day. It wasn't their problem I had nowhere else to go, or that I was just released from the hospital for serious, life-threatening complications. Before I could even get to the house they had thrown my things onto black trash bags and set it outside in the rain. This is just the tip of the amount of mental and emotional abuse that goes on. The other women are so afraid to stand up for themselves because they know the result is immediate eviction. Please don't put yourself this.

Shut it down. Stop funding for this abusive "domestic violence" shelter.
