Your shelter kind of bad if you deny services to people with disabilities; just because it's not a domestic violence case doesn't mean the person wasn't abused, you're going to be judgmental towards disabled people then you shouldn't be a shelter at all.

I am a survivor of every kind of abuse there is. But I'm out now and making a new life. I think my experience in how I copied and liver thru it might help people. Is this possible
