My Nonprofit Reviews

It's been over 15 years since i was abandoned at Daniel Memorial. I was 10 and 11 when I lived in a girls home here, and later a "foster" home. I cannot begin to touch on the trauma I have from this place. I was assaulted and injured by a 17 year old who never got in trouble or hurting children including myself. 1 girl had sexual trauma and would strip and hump us and the furniture. And in order to be housed here I had to receive a pelvic exam, yes at 10 years old. They made me call the clinic and ask for the test results but I didn't even know what STDs were. I've since refused every genital exam and just kinda hope I don't have cancer. 1 therapist would misconstrue everything I said and then bring my grandmother into the room and repeat the lies she made up, and when I was honest about it I was portrayed the liar and not allowed to go home for a long time. So I just stopped talking in therapy and let her make up anything she wanted, this really ruined my relationship with grandma because she felt she didn't truly know me anymore. The foster home was one of the worst I had ever been to, there's not even a living room just a bunch of hallways with doors and the kids get locked into the rooms 24/7 other than to eat and do chores. They restrained me by sitting on me while I was fighting a serious bronchitis infection and almost killed me. I'm so lucky to be alive I just wish I could have survived with my dignity
