Treasured Vessels Foundation
We provide Christ-centered safe communities that restore survivors of sexual exploitation to achieve their true potential.
Give Safety. Give Stability. Give Hope.
Give Safety. Give Stability. Give Hope.
Now - December 31st
Every woman who walks through the doors of Treasured Vessels Foundation carries a story shaped by storms most people will never fully see. Years of trauma, instability, exploitation, and survival take a toll that no one should have to navigate alone. By the time she reaches our safe home, she is exhausted — not because she’s weak, but because she’s been fighting her way through the waves for far too long.
At TVF, the storm finally stops.
Our safe home provides the stability, trauma-informed care, counseling, and community she needs to rest, heal, and rebuild her life. It is a place where she is believed, valued, and supported. A place where hope becomes real again. A place where restoration begins.
This year’s End of Year Giving Campaign, A Safe Harbor for Every Vessel, is rooted in that promise. Just as every vessel needs a harbor to anchor, repair, and regain strength, every survivor deserves a place of refuge where she can rediscover her worth and envision a future filled with possibility.
From now through December 31st, we invite you to join us in creating that safe harbor.
Your support helps provide:
A secure, stable home environment
Trauma-informed therapy and mental health care
Life skills, education, and case management
Healthy meals, daily structure, and holistic support
A community that believes in her journey and her future
Every gift — no matter the size — plays a role in anchoring survivors in safety and helping them rebuild stronger than before.
Together, we can ensure every vessel finds a place to rest, heal, and rise again.

"More safe houses are needed where victims can go to escape. There were many times when I wish I had somewhere to go."
-TVF Graduate and Survivor
“In 2024, Texas DPS agents recovered 387 human trafficking victims statewide. In North Texas, coordinated operations like Soteria Shield rescued 109 children from online exploitation. Yet these numbers only scratch the surface—most victims remain unseen, unheard, and unrecovered. Their silence is exactly why our work is so urgent.”
Where do they go once they are recovered?
Recovery is only the beginning. Survivors often face a long, difficult journey ahead—many with no safe place to go. Once recovered, they may be placed in emergency shelters, juvenile detention, or short-term foster care due to a lack of specialized long-term programs. In fact, there are fewer than 600 long-term residential beds in the entire U.S. dedicated specifically to survivors of sex trafficking.
That’s why safe, trauma-informed programs like Treasured Vessels Foundation are so critical. We provide survivors with stable housing, therapeutic services, life skills training, and a path toward lasting healing—because rescue without restoration is not enough.
