This scam of an organization was first shut down by the police under the name SFHSC and now they are now back and open again stealing money from rich areas Westwood, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and through soliciting at places that allow it like Beverly blvd, 3rd Street Promenade, 3rd street Promenade Farmers Market, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and various other places all surrounding their tiny camouflaged 1328 westwood blvd #20 office in Los Angeles. I could not find anyone flagging this heinous organization and have to do the right thing even when it is unpopular.
One lady by the name of Amanda Witherell who I have yet to get a hold of inspired me though to not give up the good fight, and come here, she wrote this article that explains this evil act that is EVIDENT from even the outside looking in. Www.Sfbg.com/10/24 door-door-education
Any wise person would not give $150 to someone off the street without researching the organization first, which is why LAYN preys on the hearts of the innocent wealthy, tourists, as well as kids!
They stop with you with lines like..
" Hey want to help put a child in a home today?" or " We need your help putting kids in homes". I know this cause I was one of them.
What made me come to this conclusion? Well THE SIMPLE FACT THAT WE RAISE OVER 2 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR AND DON'T ACCOUNT FOR ANY OF IT!!!
As an employee they mistreated me with constant pressure to raise more money without ever actually seeing the homeless shelter facility or meeting any of these kids from this no name organization that has Slash from guns and rose's wife, as one of the board of directors taking a kick back along with the likes of Helen Hunt and the guy who was the dad in "Grounded for life"
The irony of all this is that we would run into celebrity all the time on the streets. And with an "honest" organization you would think they would be ecstatic to give to the homeless right? Wrong. They knew better than to give a kid with a clipboard $150 and their blind trust, they see it all the time. On top of the neighbors inevitably screaming at the canvassers because they gave and now they are still on the same corner with there hand out putting wads of cash and credit card slips in an envelope WITH NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT... Months and months go by and they still have THE SAME BLACK AND WHITE FUZZY PICTURES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PLANS FOR DEVELOPMENT OR EXPANSION.
No ONE can tell me I didn't care about the cause I was making a 2 1/2 hour bus ride one way to this organization cause I wanted to believe in it so much! I help where I can whenever I can.
LAYN is trying their best to create a brand name with Daniel Rotman the founder of this organ (though he will deny it up and down)
They say they are getting homeless children off the streets when in reality they are two foster homes posing as a homeless shelter. Do NOT give to these soliciting canvassers as they know not what they're doing because they are paid hourly and told dont ask questions about grocery lists or expense sheets.
