at HopeCo

At HopeCo. our every decision we make is focused on helping survivors of human trafficking and extreme hardship. For every survivor the journey to freedom is a series of challenging, sometimes difficult choices. Each one must be determined to find restoration through supportive resources and the kindness of others. For most survivors the healing journey can take an average of 5-6 years before they step into independence.

Finding Freedom

When someone is trapped as a victim of human trafficking they are forced to work or exploited without their consent. They may be sold or bartered commercially and never benefit financially. They do not have freedom or independence and cannot go places without their handler’s consent. They often experience being manipulated, drugged, coerced, beaten or physically restrained. This is slavery. Human Trafficking is slavery.

It might take a victim of trafficking and addiction many attempts to finds a way out. When someone is being mentally manipulated and drugged, the prospect of escaping can be extremely difficult and even dangerous. Once they take their first steps into freedom, their healing journey begins.

Finding Hope
