Survivor Resources

To the Beautiful, strong survivor reading this...

If you are reading this, know it is not by accident. 

What has happened to you does not define who you are. The words spoken over you in the past are lies. You are a woman who deserves safety, love, freedom, dignity, and hope.

I know the future may feel uncertain and the thought of life beyond exploitation impossible. I once believed that too—that I was worth nothing more than the pain I was living in. But that was a lie. Healing and joy beyond trafficking are possible. There are people who see you, believe in you, and want to walk with you toward freedom. You are not alone.

I understand how frightening it feels to trust what you’ve never experienced, to hope in the unseen. Taking the first step toward healing can feel overwhelming. But no matter how dark your circumstances seem, your story is not finished. Your future does not belong to those who harmed you—it can be redeemed by a Savior who restores what has been taken.

Please remember you are strong. Stronger than you may even know. Support and hope are waiting for you here at Her Song. And if you are struggling to believe it, borrow the hope I hold for you today.

You are loved. You are valued. Your life has a purpose beyond trafficking.

My encouragement to you reading this is to take one small step today. Reach out and talk to someone here at Her Song and open the door just a little. There is a safe place waiting for you that offers safety, faith, hope, and love.

In Christ,
a fellow Survivor
