I must say I am not pleased! There is something else that could’ve been done financial wise, and if the city is not aware of what is going on in these “temporary emergency shelters”, they are in for an awakening! I have recorded, and documented and Appalled at the treatment in these facilities, especially by so called educated “staff” hired to accommodate the people in need! I am so disappointed that you didn’t think you had a choice but to close, however, in an attempt to relocate, I have found myself ready to close the observation, in the event that one of the males got raped, and was not helped to the fullest capacity at one of the rescue missions! So I must testify in the event in the midst of my relocating. I would love to connect more and show what I am bringing to New York and how as a Harlem girl who went off to college can come back and help fight this cause with greater funding then what was needed! I commend your years, persistence, and understand the vision well! The vision should never stop!

To my shock my female deaf woman assaulted me unexpectedly I already reported to Police against the abuser who lives in Staten Island. I ended up in Franklin Women’s shelter last night. With my emotional therapy cat as DNR may not approved my cat here. If my cat is not allowed to be in shelter. I’m moving out of here and be with my cat all the times. Yes I cried and cried because I’m so scared being here… the workers said to me. You are ok here. But I don’t feel ok here. No captioned TV or interpreter for me since last night
