Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

- Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. (1929 - 1968)

Our mission is to bring awareness of the issues of human trafficking, to be a voice for those who have been silenced, and to rescue and restore victims. Safe housing is a key element in restoring lives and bringing hope for a brighter future. We are currently focusing all fundraising efforts on building a facility here in the Baton Rouge area; the first of such in the state. The home will provide not only safety and shelter but vocational, social and medical services as well.

The Hope House will be a 10-12 bed facility, specifically designed for rehabilitating trafficking victims. Our goal is to offer comprehensive services that address every facet of recovery. These victims have been exploited physically, mentally, emotionally, financially and spiritually. Health and wholeness will require a dedicated effort to restore these victims in every area. We cannot just offer them housing…we have to offer them hope.

To raise money for the home, we invite you to join us at the Louisiana Sate Museum (660 N. 4th St, Baton Rouge, LA 70802) for a night of fun and education, while enjoying heavy hors de'ovres from local restaurants, an open bar, live music by the Michael Foster Project, hundreds of auction items to bid on and a special message from our keynote speaker, Former US Congresswoman and Founder of Shared Hope International, Linda Smith.

All proceeds will support victims and a Hope House in our state.
