Our goal is to open a home for sex trafficked men! 
An Alarming 3,800 men are sex trafficked daily in the world. Currently, there is only one specific home for men who are trafficked in all of America. 
We have partnered with this home to help take the overflow of men in need of help. Many of these men, ages 18 and up, have never felt safe in their lives. Many struggle not only with the abuse they have experienced but the stigma around it. 
After much research and mentorship, this goal will be done in 4 phases!
Phase 1 will offer intensive summer camps each summer. These camps will help us train our staff and help teens process trauma alongside rescued horses. The summer camps will also help bring awareness to the community that we are here to serve! 
* Our summer camps were a hit and will be offering them again in Summer 2026!
Phase 2 is to purchase a bigger property by June 2026. This land purchase will help us rescue more horses to be a part of our therapy programs and help more people through trauma. Currently, we are on only 2.7 acres and cannot accept any more rescued horses until we expand to a larger property. 
We need to raise 500 thousand to complete this goal.
Phase 3 is to start building a home for men who have been sex trafficked. We need to raise another 400 thousand to build this home. We strive to have this goal completed in 2026! During 2025 and 2026, we will be putting some employees through training, so they are prepared to start working with the men once they move in. One thing that sets us apart is that each employee will be trauma-informed and have certifications to help with any triggers or issues that come up within the household. Each employee will undergo extensive background checks and training before they can work with us. 
Phase 4 in 2027, we aim to open our first home for sex trafficked men before June 2027. We are already in the process of training some employees for this goal. We have some volunteers right now who will be doing ranch hand work and training to become house parents for this home, as we continue raising money to get to this place. Our financial need for added employees will be 200 thousand plus operating costs, received from donations and grants.
