Mission Statement
OUR MISSION is to provide a safe Home and healing environment, a family atmosphere, unconditional love, acceptance and guidance so that the survivors can be equipped to retain the stability in their lives and have all the resources to live in freedom and be self-sufficient. We use a Holistic approach that promotes physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
Description
Rescue Us. Inc is a long term residential, non-profit, faith-based organization that houses survivors of human trafficking, forced labor and domestic servitude. We facilitate the restoration of the survivors by providing shelter, food, clothes and connect them with all the community resources. The main issue with the survivors of human trafficking is returning to their previous lifestyle constantly because they don’t have the means or knowledge to end the cycle on their own. That is where we come in to meet them where they are.
