I reached out to Operation Once in a Lifetime seeking assistance and unfortunately left the…read moreinteraction feeling deeply uncomfortable and concerned. My point of contact was Patrick Sowers. One of the biggest red flags was being asked to send copies of my DD-214 containing sensitive personal identifiable information directly to a phone number. At no point was it clarified whether this was a secure work device or a personal cellphone. I was never offered a professional email address or secure document portal, which I found highly questionable given the nature of the documents involved. While I complied in an effort to move the process along, I was not comfortable doing so. In my experience, reputable organizations handling veterans' records typically have clear procedures and safeguards in place for transmitting sensitive information. Beyond the privacy concerns, the conversation itself was frustrating and unprofessional. Instead of feeling heard, I felt repeatedly invalidated, challenged, and put on the defensive regarding my own experiences and concerns. The interaction came across as passive-aggressive and unnecessarily contrarian. I also found it inappropriate that examples of other veterans' personal struggles were repeatedly brought into the conversation as comparisons. I contacted the organization for assistance with my own situation, not to hear about or be compared against the hardships of others. It felt dismissive and unprofessional. What should have been a supportive interaction instead felt judgmental and disrespectful. Trust and professionalism are critical when working with vulnerable veterans, and unfortunately I did not experience either here. Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage others to exercise caution when sharing sensitive personal information and to ask questions about how documents are being stored and protected before sending anything. Patrick Sowers is a fucking moron.

I luckily found myself within a temporary woman's shelter with a quick 45 days to figure out a plan for the future of my 4 year old son & myself..... By the pure grace of the sweet Lord above, I was introduced to Emily's Place - at which my son and I are blessed beyond measure's to now be current residents of this AMAZING PROGRAM - I'm not going to lie, I was aprehencable because of the long-term commitment & because of past reviews I had read online, but realistically - I was broken hearted and afraid, and my options were NO BETTER than my fear itself.... We are now safe, treated with Love & Kindness & are Absolutely BLESSED with EVERYTHING WE COULD POSSIBLY NEED & WANT TOO!! Our future looks bright & hopeful & I know yours will too..... It was not by chance we are being given this extraordinary opportunity & I could really NOT imagine where we'd be without this program! From the VERY bottom of my heart, I hope you are as fortunate as we to come here & travel this journey along side of us.... Thank you for your time & may God Bless you & yours.....

After…read morecarefulll consideration Something in my heart compelled me to write about my experience as it could possible help another young women and children. About 3 weeks ago me and my 2 YO son was exited from the program after a a month stay (which I was more than happy to do) Although the facility is nice it's definitely not for any domestic violence victims And I strongly urge you to stay far away. Not only is the staff aggressive and tempromental but extremely controlling. Controlling over your whereabouts every second of the day, Every dime you make, what you can spend (if they allow it) where you can go, where you can work, where your kids go to school ect. The manipulation and re victimizing is completely beyond me. I was mortified when I found out they kept tabs and cameras on when I was eating and if I "ate too late" or if I didn't do something according to detailed description. I honestly feel this place should be shut down because the way its being ran is ineffective. And in the beginning they give women a false sense of security to make things look good for the donors, it's completely sad... . My lawyer was completed to sue but due to clause in the agreement you have to sign, it would be difficult.... Just do yourself a favor stay on the street or stay away.I fell bad for anyone who comes in contact with the current staff and I feel horrible for the founder who I'm sure started this non profit in "good faith"
