How is it possible that men who are literally buying girls/women are ignorant of what they’re doing?

Something about this seems a bit...off.

What is your EIN number? Why do you only have one photo on your Facebook page? Why are you the only school in Haiti which doesn't charge tuition, when literally every single other school, including missionary schools and NGO-supported schools all charge at least a small amount of tuition?

Between uniforms for that many kids, food on a daily basis, a salary for the teachers, books, supplies and construction, you're looking at thousands of US dollars a month. How can a middle-class Haitian family afford to bleed out, say $30,000 a year out of pocket, plus expenses affiliated with being a 501c3 such as accounting fees, plus personal expenses?

I don't mean to call you out necessarily, because if you're legit, you're awesome and you don't deserve it, but there are sooooo many scams in Haiti, and you give all the appearance of being one of them (whether or not you are).

Hi - I went through a period of therapy with a therapist who I thought I connected with quite well. However, I felt that the experience was really ineffective. I didn't learn much, I didn't grow or make any changes, but it was nice to have someone to talk to.

When I mentioned my concerns to my therapist, I was immediately dropped as a client, which was quite shocking to me. I reached out for clarification and was told that their "clinical judgment" was that I needed specialized treatment. I feel like they are using this retroactively as an excuse to justify why they were unable to help me since it was never mentioned to me at any time prior. Its been a very confusing and disturbing process for me.

I'm left feeling like therapy is a scam and that I'm being gaslit. However, I don't really have any recourse, and it's been really frustrating to try to navigate this situation.

My questions are: What should I have done when I felt like I wasn't making any progress? If a therapist knows they can't help a client, why would they continue to see them? How can I go about asking for a refund since they didn't actually help me, and it seems like they knew they couldn't from the very beginning?

Legit answer.

You have no 990s filed and no record of existence, other than on Guidestar, so I'm guessing you very recently incorporated as a 501c3?

Well there's much more the two of us could say, but I'll just say that there's a reason that schools charge tuition, even if it's nominal, and sustainability and avoiding aid dependency are just two of the small reasons. Good luck to ya, mate.
