My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been involved with SafeNest since January, 2016 as a volunteer advocate at the shelter. Maybe because the residents are going through a difficult time in their lives and are in crisis mode, I was expecting to find a gloomy, somewhat unkempt place, thinking perhaps that their broken spirits had extended to the surroundings. I was in for a big surprise! I found a well organized institution, kept very clean and tidy by the residents, where they are accountable for their behavior and their assigned rooms and duties, who have to participate in group therapy sessions regularly and must inform the staff of their departure/arrival times at the location. The staff is great at resolving differences among the residents, who then have a safe and peaceful environment to concentrate in getting well. The organization provides them with room and board and assists them with different matters (finding a job, a place to live, therapy, etc.) It is truly a safe nest for abused persons and their children, a breather for mostly women where they can go to put their thoughts in order. I am a fan of the organization!
