The city we call home is facing a crisis hidden in plain sight. The commercial sex industry in North Texas generates $99 million a year, running through storefronts, hotels, and businesses that look just like any other. Every night, women and girls are exploited in our community, inside a system built to stay unseen. There's another story happening beneath the surface too. At New Friends New Life, we see the devastating reality of sex trafficking, but we also see what is possible when a survivor receives the support she needs to rebuild her life.
On North Texas Giving Day, your gift can help the 318 teen girls, women, and their children, heal from trauma, and build a future filled with hope.

At New Friends New Life, we know that the work we do every day to restore and empower survivors exists against a crippling social backdrop of hatred, discrimination, and socioeconomic inequality. We cannot separate the acute trauma from this chronic trauma that has existed for generations. In order to break through these barriers, we must acknowledge, support, and hold space for those who are directly affected by these ills - beginning with our staff (64% of whom are women of color), the members we serve (69% women of color) and our diverse Board of Directors.
