Gracehaven

"You don't feel like a person when you are offered up like a product."

A young lady shared these thoughts with her Gracehaven case worker. Imagine being just 14-years old and passed from man to man, being forced to do whatever they want. Then think about the all-too-often reality that she was trafficked by members of her own family for drug money!

Child sex trafficking has been called a world of "psychological shackles." The trauma runs deep. The effects can last for years. But there is hope and healing. Gracehaven was founded to care for these young survivors, and to help prevent others from ever falling victim to the life.
