“They really help children”

Ulises U.

Back in my native country, I have been told by a few of my relatives Save The Children helps ours in our town. I was a bit skeptical about it but when I went to visit my family, I saw a notable and positive difference on the children. I don't know, they looked happier than the last time I was there. It's good to see there are people who really commit to help others.

“No contact ever from chi”

After a year of support we never received one word from our sponsored child or if she ever received any money. All we received were letters asking for more donations. If we had just one official word from her or if our money reached her-we would have continued support but nothing ever came of it. Do not have any Idea if she ever knew we were supporting her. How can supporters feel well about helping?

I am extremely frustrated with this so called charity. I have asked numerous times to be removed from their mailing lists and they do not honor the unsubscribe requests. Nor do they respond to emails. Research shows they also make it difficult to cancel reoccurring donations. If this is any indication about how they operate, I wouldn't donate a dime to them. Clearly they are incapable of operating in any professional and ethical way. STAY AWAY!

My experience with Save the Children is a negative one. Two staff members came to my workplace and the ringleader asked for donations. I said no and that I had a mortgage, and he said, and I quote: "Most people in your situation would donate money." His response sounded like he was on a commission. I made a complaint to Save the Children and yet I didn't receive a response. I wouldn't recommend Save the Children to anybody.

Our school raised funds to donate to the Haiti Children's Relief Fund, and I accidentally made the payment to the Global Fund. Folks told me it was not a big deal, but I wanted the money to go where our students thought it would be directed so I called Save the Children. They fully understood my concern and redirected the funds the next day. As well as that, they sent me an email asking for the school's mailing address to send a certificate of gratitude (which arrived in the mail this week) to our 23 students for the $300 donation. Though it wasn't a large amount, in comparison to other organizations and individuals, Save the Children still made the time to make our students feel special for their contribution.

I'm a nana of 2 special little kids. Since they have been there with their mom they have lost alot of weight. One of them calls the food slop. It's not even good enough to feed animals. I don't know what they do with all the money donated because they.feed the residents expired food. The meat they feed at Rescue The Children is pepperoni. They don't get real meat or fresh meat. They were giving the moms and kids expired orange juice. The cans of juice expired January 2020. Some of the girls and kids were getting sick from it so they said well its too expired throw it away. One of my little ones will only eat pband j. She said it's the one thing I know won't make me sick because it's bad. As for clothing I guess the women who get paid to work take all the new clothing donated because I can tell my 2 are wearing very used clothing to the point I need to buy them clothes. I was told I'm not allowed because it's against the rules to bring things in without putting a requisition in. If you don't get permission you get extra duty hours. If miss Deanna wants she will tell you she will have you exited
It's pretty bad when they say they are helping the homeless when the women scare these poor ladies they will kick them out or slam them with extra duties. And where is it constitutional to drug and alcohol test people that don't have those problems. I can see if your in there from prison and are required to do it, but a mom that doesn't leave there unless the kids are sick. This woman won't let prescriptions be filled at a cvs down the street. No, they have to be filled at shields and west which is nowhere close to RTC. She went in there during her time for drugs, now could it be she wrote scrips at those drug stores and isn't allowed in there? Makes you think. I hate for my family there but they feel like they are going to get so many things promised such as a driver's license, told they would be given a home to live, so many things. But I noticed when the women are just a week or days from graduating they are thrown out for stupid reasons. So if you want a place to donate find a kind place. Not a place that should be shut down for feeding these people old expired food, giving them old rags to wear, and very sad children because they are afraid that the ladies will throw them on the streets and then call CPS on the moms who try to make it.
