My Husband & I Stayed At Samaritan House In Denver, CO, In 1992, 1994, & Again, In 1996, After My Husband Lost His Job,Thru No Fault Of His Own!.. It Was A Complete Horror House Then!..Some Of The Counselors Were Very Nice, But One Counselor Was A Total Bitch!!.. (A Female)! I Was Harassed By Her On Morning In The Bathroom, After Taking A Shower, & Getting Dressed, To Go To Work As A Security Guard, For A Security Company,While I Was Gone To Work,When I Got Back To The Shelter, My Belongings Were Gone From My Locker, & I Was Kicked-Out For No Apparent Reason!..She Tried To Keep Me & My Boyfriend (Now My Husband) Apart & From Seeing & Talking To Each Other!!!,,She Was Totally Rude & Unprofessional!.. During The Winter time, When Waiting To Leave The Shelter, & Either Coughed Once Or Twice,Or Sneezed Once Or Twice, & Broke Two Ribs, & Became Very Sick,.They Forced Me Out Of The Shelter Anyway, & Had To Walk Around, Very Sick(Almost To The Point Of Getting Pneumonia )Had To Go To A Clinic, & See A Doctor In Order To Stay In The Shelter!.. Had About 2 Days Rest, Then Had To Keep Volunteering To Work, In Order To Stay In During The Day, Very Sick, & With Two Broken Ribs!.. They Didn't Give A Damn!!..While Being Outside All Day, Volunteers Were Pulling A Suprise Inspection, Of Our Lockers, & Many People Had Their Clolthes, Shoes, & Belonging's Stolen From Their Lockers, Including Me, & My Husband, & Found Out That The Volunteers Were Putting The Stuff In The Clothing Room For Others To Grab & Take!!!..Besides That, They Treated People Like My Husband & I Like Crap, Because They Figured That We Wanted To Be There By Choice, Which Wasn't The Case!..We Were There By No Choice!!! They Judge People, & Assume That All People Who Go There Are There Because They Don't Wanna Work, Too Lazy To Work,Their Looking For A Hand-Out, Or A Free Bed, Which Isn't The Case For All People, Who Have No Choice Than To Go There!!!!.We, As Well As Others, Witnessed The Volunteers Stealing Food That Came Off The Trucks For The Shelter, & Loading Their Car Trunks With Meat, Vegetables, Fruits, As Well As Other Foods! & Taking The Stuff Home, For Their Own Families, & Friends!.. This Is Exactly What Samaritan Was All About Back Then!.. Don;t Know If It's Changed Since My Husband & I Were There, But If Not!.. Catholic Charities, Or Other Higher Organizations Should Thoroughly Investigate Samaritan House!!!!..We Would Never Stay There Again!!! Would Rather Stay With Friends, Or On The Streets Than Go Back There!!!!! The Only Charity There Benefits The Counselors & Volunteers!!.. read more
