My Nonprofit Reviews

This nonprofit is helping me by providing support during one of the most difficult times in my life. The best part about this group is that they allow candid sharing of emotions, support and resources, and camaraderie to a demographic that is often overlooked. Many in this demographic (wives and families of those who are incarcerated) are often stereotyped and judged because of a loved one that has made mistakes in their life, and is now paying severe consequences. With this group, the participants are able to feel loved, safe from judgment, and know that they are not alone. They provide forums with many detailed questions, monthly chat sessions where members can talk with and provide support for each other, and a Facebook-like status update for members to post current statuses of their lives, as well as the ability to upload blog postings. When I found this nonprofit, I finally felt as though there was a group that understood what I was going through, even when I didn't understand it. As a new member, I didn't know where to start, but many of the older members helped me and guided me through the process. Their support has helped me keep my head up, come to terms with the future, and reassures me that I'm not alone. I found a place where I could be myself, and not be judged because of the people that are in my life. The group is a diverse, vibrant, cohesive bunch of women, who want nothing more than to help others that are going through a similar situation.
