I'm sad to leave this review because I know you guys have done good work in the community. Although…read moreI can't say how long it's been since that has happened and this review is going to be from a while ago. But I feel compelled to leave it because it was such an awful experience for my daughter. I contacted you guys because she was sexually assaulted and had to go through the court system. I called the Haven in advance to tell them about the court date because I knew we would need support based on the circumstances and the offenders very large unruly family. They told me that we would have someone with us through the court proceeding for support . No one from the women's Haven showed or made any attempt to help my daughter. We were told someone would be there. They said to meet them in a specific area in the courthouse. I called while I was standing there waiting and the lady said oh OK I'm on my way. I waited and waited until we had to go into court. They never showed or called. We were completely on our own in every way no support was offered or given. The ADA had a loud and humiliating conversation with my daughter in a whole corridor, full of people. (Maybe a trained liaison could have been able to maneuver this better for her?) The perpetrators family heckled us in court. I had to ask the bailiff for help. If Haven would've just told me that no one was available to go I would've worked to make another arrangement at least. I feel like with her being a minor and me being alone in this town without support, really made us the prime example of the need of what the women's Haven is supposed to be, at that time in our lives. Never any counseling or support group, or even a pamphlet offered ever at any time.

I am super irritated that this is the second time the Hope Chest has been picky about what they…read morechose to accept as donations. I am not donating poor quality items. The items are in great to excellent shape. My first experience with them as far as donations was when I needed a couch to be picked up. I heard they would pick up items. When I called they gave me the third degree and acted like it had to be brand new for them to pick it up. My couch was perfectly fine to donate and the family who received it was more than happy. Because in the end, I told Hope Chest to just forget it! They obviously didn't want my donation. Well, today I called ahead of time and the person I talked to said, "Make sure you don't have a truck load of donations right before closing!" She didn't say anything about them not accepting toys of any kind. I would not have wasted a trip. I also agree with some of the other posts, their prices are pretty high for a thrift store. Yes, sometimes the manager will work with you. But I don't like to haggle. I would rather just see a good/fair price, pick it up and take it home. I also wish they would have student/teacher discount day like some of the other thrift stores have. It would be nice. :)

If you do have a negative experience, I suggest speaking with Kerri. Even though I came off pretty aggressive with her, she was understanding, allowed me to vent, and then helped me completely rectify the situation. Regardless, they are a no-kill rescue. They love animals. And they paired me up with my best puppy friend.

They e even made post about dogs being unhealthy because they've stayed at their facility for so long. However, they make so many restrictions for even adopting from them. I tried to adopt from them and even though I had grown up with the same breed of dog in my home I was told I couldn't adopt one of their dogs because I was a teena and not my parent. I wasn't an adult and that the dog required so much knowledge that they claimed I didn't have. But how could that be when I literally explained my knowledge of the breed. I ended up purchasing my baby from a breeder, but it's unfortunate they don't want to encourage rescuing. I understand vetting people to make sure animals go to a good home. But they should be less restrictive when it comes to letting people adopt. If I'm already paying $400+ to adopt I'm not in it to be a harmful owner. People don't have money to waste. perhaps then they would have money to run their facility instead of constantly begging. I even see they have so many requirements to foster. You either need help or don't. They made a post about a dog that was severely overweight because it's locked in a cage for multiple hours a day. How could they even let that happen. Smh. They have xoloitzuintli at their place right now and I bet they have received a lot of interest In him but I bet they wont let him be adopted

Ofc my laptop behaved perfectly when he was diagnosing it but that's always the case ;) he installed and updated the SW drivers etc but found no major issues. He made some recommendations about factory warranty etc but it has been behaving better since. The cost for the diagnosis was zero! Which wow, I would have thought they charge for the time he took to even look at it. Highly recommend for IT issues.

THANK YOU Myron at NNIS! I called your shop today in desperation. My computer started talking to me…read morethis morning....don't laugh. Ok, you can laugh, it was kinda funny. I've never seen this happen before, but a page popped up and told me my computer was locked and to call a special number. The message kept repeating and I had a meeting, so I went to another room while my computer was freaking out. After my first meeting ended, I only had 40 minutes before my next meeting and I needed my computer. I called 3 other computer repair businesses and they either sounded sketchy, expensive or too much time to get my computer serviced. My last call was NNIS. I wasn't even going to call, but something said, last try. I called and Myron answered the phone. He gave me his price and time frame and it didn't work with what I needed. Exasperated, I just told him my problem. Myron said, "oh, you don't have a virus, I can walk you through how to fix that right now...free of charge." What?! I was freaking out about what I was going to do and here we have Myron saving the day! Within 5 minutes....FIVE MINUTES YALL! Myron fixed my problem. Thank you Myron for saving the day! I will certainly come back with any issues in the future. You ROCKED IT TODAY!!

I felt as if SSJE tricked me. In the beginning they made it sound like I was lucky to have them,…read morethat everyone was trying to hire them. I was told Gautam Jagannath (the founder) would be representing me, he was who I met with when I first went there, it sounded like a good situation. Until the carpet got pulled from under me: I ended up being set up with a lady working remotely from out of state, who was supposed to then attempt to help me, with extremely limited experience, who had never represented another client with the same kind of case... I ended up dropping them because of this, even after paying them in full in the beginning. I made an attempt to get reimbursement, or even a partial reimbursement, with no response from SSJE. I suggest if you sign a contract with them, you make it extremely clear on what services you will get from them, AND WHO WILL REPRESENT YOU. Don't trust the "...or any other SSJE representative" line, because you may end up screwed like I did. They told me they needed payment in full before accepting me as a client because some people "ended up not paying them" - I wouldn't be surprised if some of those people not paying, experienced something similar to what I experienced. Spend a little more, get someone else who doesn't give you the runaround.
