Review for Straight Spouse Network Inc, Chicago, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I was devastated when I discovered my new husband wasn't straight. I spent nearly two years thinking I was the only one in the whole world who had ever married a non-straight person. Finally I found the Straight Spouse Network and discovered I am NOT the only one. As a contact person now, I find it disheartening to meet so many new straight spouses as they discover their partners orientation; however, as a straight spouse, I think it is wonderful to be part of a group that listens and understands.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

the daily lives of those who arrive devastated and confused and then find the support they need in order to get their feet on the ground and begin to heal and recover.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

the wonderful people I meet.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

exceptionally caring and understanding.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Reach out to many more people.

Ways to make it better...

I would have found SSN much sooner.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

raising funds and getting publicity.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2009

Role:  Client Served & I experienced the awesome healing power of the straight spouses, then I was a member of the Board for a year, and now I am a volunteer contact person helping others connect with straight spouses and heal.
