Share Your Story

WovenCare is collecting stories from people who felt harmed, dismissed, unsafe, unheard, or unsupported by healthcare, behavioral health, housing, transportation, or related systems. Your experience can help us identify patterns, strengthen advocacy, and push for better responses that treat people with dignity.

Why We Are Collecting Stories

We want to understand what people are experiencing in real life, especially when systems respond in ways that cause harm, confusion, or added instability.

We may use stories to inform advocacy, community education, policy conversations, and public awareness. If you give us permission, we may share your story without your name.

You can stay anonymous. If you want us to follow up, you can choose to leave contact information. Please do not include Social Security numbers, insurance IDs, or other sensitive account numbers.

What To Expect

You may submit this form anonymously.
If you ask for follow-up, we will use the contact information you provide.
Giving permission to share your story helps us advocate without exposing your name.
This form is not monitored for emergencies. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
If you need immediate emotional support, call or text 988.
