Review for Homefront Hugs Foundation, Inc., Clark, NJ, USA
I signed up with this organization to help support our troops.Being disabled there's not a lot I can do.When I saw the chance to adopt a soldier I was so exited.Helping the soldier was so uplifting but the experience with this organization left me in tears.And Im left wondering why I was treated so badly.Being new to this I had questions and recieved no responses. Then was told it was my fault.Even the soldier I adopted apologized about it and felt badly for me because I had to explain to him why I was no longer with HFH.The concept is great,but very disappointed and upset.I would think that when someone volunteers with an organization your efforts would be appreciated by that organization.I will never recommend Homefront Hugs and am now apprehensive of joining another.
We regret your experience and as for being disabled, we welcome all volunteers of all abilities as our CEO, myself, is disabled herself and battling cancer. We do everything possible to accommodate because we understand personally and inclusion wise how vital the contribution and talents are of all citizens especially those with challenges of any kind. We do however have strict rules about OPSEC and confidentiality and when broken these need to be addressed. Unfortunately this volunteer was not a good match for our program as a result which happens very rarely in our 18+ years of service.
