Dear Dealers of Hope USA Team,
We are reaching out regarding a serious matter involving a former member of the Dealers of Hope USA team.
It has come to our attention that criminal charges have been filed against Roger Crews involving allegations of sexually inappropriate communications related to a minor. These allegations are extremely serious and deeply troubling.
Effective immediately, Roger Crews is no longer affiliated with Dealers of Hope USA in any capacity. He does not represent our organization, hold any leadership or volunteer role within our organization, or have authority to act on behalf of Dealers of Hope USA.
The safety of the children, families, volunteers, team members, donors, and communities we serve is our highest priority. Allegations involving the exploitation of children stand in direct opposition to the values upon which this organization was founded and the standards we expect from anyone associated with our mission.
We also recognize that this news may be particularly difficult for survivors of sexual abuse, sexual assault, exploitation, grooming, or other forms of trauma. Please know that your feelings are valid. We encourage anyone who may be affected by this information to seek support from trusted friends, family members, counselors, faith leaders, or other resources that help you feel safe and supported.
At this time, we have no information indicating that any individual connected to Dealers of Hope USA was harmed through their involvement with our organization. However, if anyone has concerns, information they believe should be shared, or simply wishes to speak with leadership privately, we encourage you to contact a member of the Board of Directors directly.
We understand that many people may have questions and strong emotions regarding this situation. While the legal process must be allowed to proceed through the appropriate authorities, we want to be clear that we take allegations involving the safety and wellbeing of children extremely seriously.
As an organization, we remain committed to creating environments that are safe, respectful, and protective of the vulnerable individuals and communities we serve. Our mission continues, and our commitment to integrity, accountability, and safeguarding remains unwavering.
Thank you for your continued dedication to Dealers of Hope USA and the people we serve.
With care,
Board of Directors
Dealers of Hope USA
