Toronto Star claims YWCA Toronto now offers interest-free loans to help women living with abuse establish themselves in safety.
Information gathered by FIX YWCA and Canada Court Watch and Ontario Coalition for Accountability and a survivor by the name of Jessie McVicar and a number of credible sources including information and testimony from former women residents, children who were residents and former shelter managers, clearly indicate the system gets all this funding from goverment and donations and their using it to protect themselves, and not the families, and they are only protending to help families but in reality they are only exploiting these families and only helping themselves. Is this the same case here? YWCA Toronto staff when you google your own name, find this post, can you be so good as to give us the REAL scoop. Ok? Thanks. YWCA survivors when you google about the YWCA Toronto, find this post, can you tell the world about your experiences with this new program? Thanks.

I read this article earlier this week and I have some very mixed feelings about this. I would not trust the YWCA to competently administer this fund with fairness to all. It's been experience that this organization has some serious management issues. I agree with Councilor Doug Holyday - the gov't should suspend payments to the Y until they can get their acts together. That means staff have to actually start doing their jobs for the money they soak the taxpayers for.
ReplyDeleteIf you have any evidence, can you give it to the police?
ReplyDeleteThank you Jesse for creating this blog. I'm currently residing in a YWCA shelter for women fleeing abuse. Can you give me your email so I can exchange personal information with you? In regards to the abuse of power, lack of accountability, and the mistreatment of women at this particular Toronto shelter.
