Description:
Eve's Angels is a nonprofit that sets up support groups and outreaches into places where sex is being sold. We are located in 9 cities across the country. In addition to our outreach efforts, we advocate against sex trafficking. Our Founder is on the Advisory Board to a Senator in Michigan, and aided in the passing of 13 laws against sex trafficking. She's also written 2 curriculum books taught in not only our EVe's Angels groups, but in other similar programs in different cities in the United States.
Currently we are working on a safe-home for women exiting the sex for sale trade. By providing a residency, we will be able to house 20 women at a time, and do a year long program that insures the success of our constituents. With 24 hour staff, we treat the victim entering in the program with the psychological help she needs, and aid her in her journey to become a survivor equipped to live independently with educational and vocational training. Eve's Angels safe-home will be the largest survivor-led residency program of it's kind in the country.
Eve's Angels has secured program funding from grants, however the property is not financially secured at this time. We are working around the clock to raise the funds, and have until October 2nd to pay in full.
The total amount for the 15 acre property is $325,000. We are able to give tax receipts for all donations.
