My Nonprofit Reviews

Such a horrifyingly terrible organization. The fact they get any publicity or credit to helping people just shows how money wins all and screw the rest of us who are suffering.

I’m a victim of extreme 10 years of abuse. I reached out to authorities who pulled the nothing we can do because “he said she said” and “you have no proof you didn’t want it at the time.”

Ok, fine…I expect that from cops at this point. Years of therapy didn’t help either. So my sister urged and encouraged me to reach out to RAINN. I initially reached out by phone which was gut wrenching enough as I’m not exactly trying to relive my trauma. Never spoke to a person once. I was on hold for 3 hours being forced to listen to donation ads so I naturally hung up.

My sister urged again to try their online chat option. Well…that was 40 times worse. SEVEN TIMES I went on the website and it was always a “visitor” queue of 40 plus people and it never went down. I kept my window open for LITERALLY over 24 hours and it only got to 29. I still NEVER spoke to a person.

I tried the “recommended” chat group. Which was basically and unmoderated group of survivors talking to each other, the only positive I guess of it. But again unmoderated so we each had to just talk each other through our traumas reliving it and figuring out how to help guide each other on our own. I didn’t need to log on to the website for that.

Ironically, I’m currently writing this review waiting in a queue again. I understand these are volunteers and too many people are survivors of this but don’t tout yourself as the best when you have absolutely no one helping anyone and just demand donations.

Be honest, you don’t have enough volunteers for how many people are in this situation. Admit it’s a problem and stop asking for money, because that’s not what a survivor needs to hear for hours on end.

We’re looking to be heard. Not forced to hear.

This website also might be a farce as I never received my “email verification” to prove I’m a person suffering.
