Review for New Beginning Sanctuary, Springfield, MO, USA
Well I just want to warn anyone who will listen not to go there!!!! ALL Nancy and Alon care about is MONEY! We got out of prison and went there my sister paid the $330 for me to go there and let me tell you it is a JOKE! They lied to my sister and told her that they would help me find a job and help me get to said job but that was just another one of their many many lies they tell to get your money. My wife and I were in different houses and we eventually got a grant through the state to pay our weekly fees and we moved out in July of 2019 and in September of 2019 the woman who was in charge of our grants called us and asked us how things in the houses were going and we told her that we had left two months before and she was surprised, they had still been collecting grant money on us even though we had left the program two months prior. This place is a scam, they do not care about your sobriety or freedom, all they care about is the money! We weren't kicked out. We left on our own because we realized that they cared about was the money! Please don't send your fragile loved ones there, you will be setting them up for failure, new beginnings sanctuary is a scam and a joke and I promise that they don't care about your loved one! They kicked my friend out because she had a boyfriend outside of the program and she overdosed and died a couple weeks later at 19yrs old!!!! Notice how every bad comment Alon gets on here and says that they are just mad because they were kicked out, not true, we weren't kicked out we left on our own! Why are there so many disgruntled former clients Alon? Because when they start figuring out what is going they get kicked out into the streets! They give you 1hr to get your stuff out when you leave! Nancy is not a good person! Oh yeah they are against gay people, my wife and I left because they were trying to separate us because we were gay! They are anti LGBTQ! Don't send anyone you love there unless you want them to be treated like garbage
I am sorry you had a bad experience. I believe people who truly want recovery will honor their commitments, and try to learn to live like normal members of the community. That includes, getting a Job, paying bills, following rules, and getting along with housemates. It is obvious that you don't get that. We are happy to help anyone get a job. It may not be the job you wanted, or liked, but we can get people work. Also we require you to pay your bills, if that means we are about the money, then yes we are. We are about responsibiliyt and accountability. Things that a lot of people who come into the program are not willing to accept or change, but as you can see by other reviews, the ones that come in and are willing to do what it takes make it and have very successfull lives. I can provide anyone with success stories if you would like. Including many who are part of the LGBTQ community. I am not sure what your issue was with the house but we wish you the best!
