Refugee for Women
There are organizations that truly care about the safety and wellbeing of women across the United States. Refuge for Women is a national faith-based organization providing a residential healing and recovery program for survivors of trafficking and sexual exploitation to receive safe housing, counseling, life and work skills development. Human Trafficking is a dark industry that abuses and exploits women of all ages. When a woman is rescued for a trafficker, she is left with many years of past trauma and oftentimes, substance abuse issues.

The compassionate staff is trained to help residents reclaim their identities and reach their goal of overcoming addictions, heal from trauma and develop life skills leading to healthy, balanced living and financial independence. When they leave the program, they have a vision for the future of a life marked with dignity and hope.
Through our contribution efforts, we are working towards sponsoring a room at one of their centers to start. With growing resources, we hope to sponsor even more to help provide a bright and compelling future for the women who receive the love and support at Refuge for Women.

The Starkey Hearing Foundation
This is an organization where my family and I contribute through donations, but also actually travel the world, providing charitable works on behalf of and under the guidance of the Foundation. The Starkey Hearing Foundation gives the gift of hearing to people in need in the U.S. and around the world. They believe hearing is a vehicle to reflect caring and to improve the lives of individuals, their families, and communities.
