At Connect 2 Change, we walk alongside women at every stage of their healing journey—from escaping trafficking to building a new life.
We Do Two Things, And We Do Them Well:
1. Immediate Safety and Stabilization When a woman escapes sex trafficking, her first need is safety. We meet her exactly where she is—physically and emotionally—offering hotel shelter, hot meals, hygiene items, transportation, community connection and compassionate, peer-led support. Every woman receives dignity, discretion, and care from the very first moment.
2. Ongoing Growth and Empowerment When she’s ready for the next step, we provide professional coaching, mentorship, and personalized resource navigation. Women identify their dreams, set meaningful goals, and take bold steps toward becoming the best versions of themselves. Whether she wants to finish school, go to college, start a business, or find stable housing and get a job that amplifies her personal strengths, we help her map the path and walk it with her.
OUR APPROACH
We believe in starting small—and dreaming big. Inspired by Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, we begin with the basics and climb with her, offering ongoing support as she builds a future of her own choosing.
Some women find us in crisis. Others come for mentorship, coaching, and community connection.
This is more than a temporary crisis response. This is a journey to long-term transformation and sustainability.
WHY YOUR GIFT MATTERS
Your gift doesn’t just help a woman survive—it helps her stabilize, reconnect, dream, and begin again.
*$2 out of every $3 goes straight to the frontlines: hotel stays, meals, hygiene items, transportation, vital emergency care and ongoing supportive services.
*The final third? It keeps us going. It pays the staff, and powers the tools that ensure we’re ready the moment she reaches out.
This is more than a donation.
It’s A Rescue. A Reset. A Rebuild.
THANK YOU FOR INVESTING IN NEW BEGINNINGS
Because of you, women are finding safety, reclaiming their stories, and rebuilding lives filled with hope, stability and sustainability.
