A friend of mine is trying to flee a domestic abuse situation with her kids, and this charity had promised funding to Crossroads RI, who in turn had promised help with first and security. She's supposed to get the keys today and move this weekend, once she gives the landlord the first and security. She was told by Crossroads last night that "Rhode Island Foundation failed to provide the funding they promised" and now there is no funding to help her get out of the domestic situation. I realize that the lack of communication is on the part of Crossroads, but the lack of promised funding seems to fall on Rhode Island Foundation. Crossroads said this has impacted a large number of domestic abuse survivors, not just this one. Now she has a choice, to either ask to stay longer in the abusive situation or to be homeless with three children. I know times are hard, but promising something to people in need and not following through is far worse than not offering help in the first place.
Wonderful organization who were very helpful in hosting an event my work put on. The staff are very nice and accommodating..
The Rhode Island Foundation is working with the people of Rhode Island to make good thing happen for our community. Thank you.
Good people
