Join us at the pavilion at Port Neches Riverfront Park for the 5k Glow Walk on Saturday, November 15th! In 2024, the number of survivors we served grew by more than 30%, a powerful reminder of how many lives are impacted by exploitation and how vital community support truly is. Let’s walk together to raise awareness, honor survivors, and shine a light of hope.

We are excited to announce the return of our annual event, The Metamorphosis Gala! Join us for an evening of transformation and purpose. Metamorphosis honors the resilient youth survivors of trafficking who are rewriting their stories and stepping into freedom. Together, we can turn pain into purpose and help make their new beginnings bright.
From our Founder and CEO, Lisa Boler, "We are embracing a new chapter of our mission. Looking ahead, I would like our new name to better express what we do and allow the name to speak freedom and hope for survivors in our care. This new identity symbolizes our unwavering commitment to providing a safe haven and a fresh start for those who have endured unimaginable hardships. By redefining ourselves, we aim to inspire confidence and resilience, ensuring that every individual feels valued, supported, and empowered to rebuild their lives. Our new name will be a testament to our dedication to making a lasting, positive impact on the lives of those we serve."
