My Nonprofit Reviews

I recently have gone through the process of obtaining a new identity. I had finished my name change which I did confidentially and all that was left was to apply for a new social security number. I suffered through a lot of domestic violence and stalking. Dealing with social security was a nightmare to say the least. I reached out to Nadeya as I was referred to her from the Safe at Home Program. SSA had denied my request even though I met criteria. Nadeya was so supportive and informative. She looked through my case and agreed they had made a mistake in denying my request. She quickly last minute was able to draft a letter of support and guidelines backing my request. That helped greatly as this process is rarely done and there isn’t a lot of support for victims through a rarely done extreme request. She also was able to clarify what was needed of myself to bring to SSA to further make my case. My request was approved a week later. I’m very grateful and appreciative for programs such as these. The right to protect program is very compassionate and dedicated to advocating for victims of violence. Most of us feel isolated, alone, or judged for the circumstances we have faced. Programs such as these give resources as well as support family and friends can’t always offer. I’m eternally grateful for all the support and help. Thank you for all you do. This is how we make a change for the better and with the world. I highly recommend to anyone dealing with hardships or any process from domestic violence to reach out. She truly has taken her own experiences and used them to create support and change in the community and we are very grateful for all you do.
