This organization is by far exceptional. Exceptional in the way that they are redefining non-profits. Normally when non-profits are funded, a check is written and maybe 20% will go to where the donor would wish. At Kathy Rinaldi, they have in place a system that works like a debit card. Every dollar is accounted for and states what the money is used for. I also want to give credit to the founder for using his own funds to sustain throughout the years, and has not wavered in is commitment. Lastly, I want to add my bias. I am a developer and I had volunteered to assist Mr. Rinaldi and cannot praise his honesty and dedication. He used a family crisis that destroys families and used it to find the empathy needed for those suffering abuse or violence. The world is a better place with John Rinaldi in it. Mellisa Rosenberg NY
