Call to Freedom brings hope and wholeness to all individuals impacted by sex and labor trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation, by navigating a healing path through our Continuum of Care Model.

One of the first things the Lord said to me was, “Unite a community.” At the time I had no idea what that meant. What I came to realize is that people did want to be part of the solution, they simply had no tangible way to get involved. So we find creative ways for people to bring their own gifts and passions to this mission.

When I learned the extent of the violence happening in the place I called home, I had a moment of perfect clarity where I knew I was called to do something about it. Every human being has the right to be treated with dignity and to live free from violence. Here I get to spend every day building a world I believe in.

I believe all individuals deserve freedom and respect. What I love about Call to Freedom is that we walk alongside those in need and support them in every area of their journey, for as long as they need us.

It still amazes me how many people do not realize trafficking and sexual exploitation exist in South Dakota and in the Sioux Falls area. My work is to bring that into the open, and to tell the story of how we meet people where they are and, in many cases, help them reclaim their lives.

Wholeness comes from every agency and partner we coordinate with. Together we can bring balance to what someone needs. And everyone has needs and wants, so much of the work is helping clients learn to advocate for themselves and get those met.

They have been through the worst thing that has ever happened to them, and then you get to show them what life can actually look like. I tell clients all the time that I do not have a perfect life and I am not a model for one. But I am a mom. I am a partner to someone. I can be an example of what that looks like.

You cannot go wrong with helping people heal. If there is any way we can bring more love and more joy into that healing, that is something I want to be part of.

Call to Freedom supports survivors through a holistic continuum of care built for complex healing. Our values put dignity, respect, and empathy first for every person we serve, and the model itself is shaped by survivors' input.

Spirituality can be an important part of healing. As survivors walk through that process it is vital to be healthy in spirit, soul, and body. Spirituality can offer hope, a sense of purpose, and community, and connecting a survivor with a mentor can be just as important to the journey.

I had a calling to help and to serve. Eventually I shared my own past at a Call to Freedom breakfast, to bring hope to other victims and to show that human trafficking does not know borders. My story is here to help others. It is not about me. It is about what I can do to shed light on the darkness. The continuum of care exists because victims need far more than most people understand, and because a person has to be looked at as a whole.

I believe in this mission because it reflects the heart of Jesus. He meets people in their darkest places, brings them out, and walks with them. This work does the same: helping people find safety, and giving them the support, resources, and community they need.

I believe in this mission because I have watched it work. Call to Freedom covers every avenue a survivor needs in order to heal, grow, and flourish. The staff are well trained, kind, and compassionate, and that flows from the top down.

It matters that we bring wholeness to the people we serve. That means emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental health support, because that is what gives someone and their family the best possible outcome.

Everyone deserves safety, support, and hope. Call to Freedom brings wholeness to people in their healing and helps bring restoration. I am proud to be part of it.

I am deeply passionate about the continuum of care. Victims need access to a broad range of resources to support their healing, and they need to know that Call to Freedom is committed to being there throughout the entire journey.

This mission holds both things at once: immediate relief, and the long work of healing. It offers hope, and it gives supporters a tangible way to make a difference.

Everyone deserves the chance to feel safe and supported. People face circumstances that build real barriers in their lives, but with the right support, the right resources, and someone willing to believe in them, change is possible.

This mission aligns with what I already believed: that everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, and able to build a strong future. I have learned that meaningful change begins with having someone willing to listen, to advocate, and to walk alongside you.

I believe everyone deserves a fair chance at life, and this organization brings freedom to people who were never given that opportunity.

I have always viewed challenges through the lens of independence, whether financial, physical, or mental. It is never too late to rediscover your path. Call to Freedom shares that conviction and works tirelessly to help people rekindle their purpose.

No one should have to carry the trauma that comes with being trafficked or exploited. Our work is to help people reenter the world with whatever resources they need. But providing resources is one thing. Walking the journey with them is what makes the difference.

Call to Freedom advocates for and serves those who have been harmed by the scourge of human trafficking.
