Supporting Survivors After Rescue Toward Stability and Freedom

Every year, adults who survived exploitation in childhood or were trafficked as adults begin the
difficult work of rebuilding their lives. You Are My Light was created to fill a critical gap by providing a restorative, holistic model of long term support, pathways to independence, and community education for adult survivors after rescue.

Why Our Mission Matters

“As a survivor, I know firsthand that escaping the harm and threat of trafficking is only
step one. The real work begins afterward, learning how to feel safe, trust yourself, and
rebuild a life. Centers like the ones the You Are My Light Foundation plan to build will
give survivors the stability, community, and trauma-informed support that make healing
possible. Safety saves lives, but community support and belonging help to restore
them.”
