Sandy Hook Promise sends me endless graphic, disturbing spam in spite asking not to be contacted by them. I have schizophrenia and feel profiled.

This company sends out non-stop spam messages requesting donations, despite being on the do-not-call registry and requests that my number be removed from their system. Not much else to say. The charity itself might do good work, but given how much spam I get when I HAVEN'T donated, I can't imagine how bad it would get if I actually gave them money.

Sandy Hook Promise is one of the most effective non-profit organizations in the U.S. combatting gun violence in and around schools. For objective reviews of them as a non-profit, look them up in Charity Navigator. The previous reviewer giving one star for Sandy Hook Promise probably got hit by a scamming site that PRETENDED they were connected to Sandy Hook BUT WERE NOT. Has this reviewer approached Sandy Hook Promise to investigate this website posing as a place to give money to them? If not, this is vital to prevent the scamming site from operating at all.

I feel compelled to share my disappointing experience with Sandy Hook Promise after donating through TapJoy, a platform I enjoy for gaming incentives. While I genuinely believe in their mission, my recent interactions have left me frustrated and disillusioned. In September, I made a donation, excited to support a good cause while earning diamonds for my game. However, after informing them that my contract work ended and I could no longer maintain my contributions, I received a response threatening my account on TapJoy. They insisted that canceling my donation would result in a ban, despite their offer not specifying any time commitment. I had every right to communicate my financial constraints. When I asked how much I needed to donate to avoid issues, they responded with a requirement for two donations. I agreed, even though I was already struggling financially. Unfortunately, I encountered banking issues, and the second payment did not go through due to insufficient funds. I communicated this to them and adjusted my finances to ensure the second payment was processed. Despite my efforts, Sandy Hook Promise reported my account to TapJoy, leading to a ban from the platform. This feels utterly unjust. It’s troubling that Sandy Hook, a charity asking for support on a gaming platform, doesn’t acknowledge the motivations behind many of these donations. Asking for donations in this context borders on predatory practices. People are playing games to earn incentives, and expecting them to read fine print amidst the excitement is unrealistic. If they don’t want people to cancel recurring donations, they should offer clearer terms rather than allowing repeated requests for contributions. As a woman over 60 who enjoys these gaming offers, I find Sandy Hook Promise’s approach to be somewhat predatory. It’s disheartening to be treated this way after I tried to honor my commitment under difficult circumstances. I urge fellow gamers to think twice before donating to Sandy Hook through TapJoy. My experience has been far from positive, and I believe others deserve to know the reality of this situation. This has been an unnecessary and distressing ordeal, compounded by banking issues that arose from their refusal to graciously cancel my recurring donation. I will continue to update my case, but it’s essential for potential donors to be aware of these practices.
