a mamin -I’m sorry to read your story, but this goes to prove my point that a lot of these problems are coming from the org., not mainly from the volunteers.
The reason you had problems with them was because you were burning up money. Some of these orgs. are only run for the sake of Kovod. Every org. in the world has only a limited amount of money, even if is a lot. The ones that are run for Kovod of the organizers and sometimes even the volunteers -like to use their money on things that gets them more Kovod. Of course they provide transportation, otherwise people would get suspicious of them and withhold their support. Unfortunately for you, they put very little $ into Real services for pts. and you used up your allotment!
