At E.L.I’s House, we focus on helping women become healthier moms and aim for family reunification if custody has been lost. Our program also includes parental coaching and support, fostering a nurturing environment for both mothers and their children.
Our Commitment: We pledge sincere and honest stewardship of every donation, ensuring that your investment directly supports survivors of trafficking, domestic violence, substance abuse, and sexual abuse. By providing shelter, food, and clothing, we allow residents to concentrate on their healing journey.
Empowering Transformation: Residents live rent-free in our community, which helps them develop relational skills and offers a supportive peer network. They are also given opportunities for personal and professional growth through education and employment training, including GED certification, college courses, and internships.
Equipping Futures: We strive to instill healthy relationships, self-sufficiency, education, confidence, and healing in the women we serve. By the end of our program, survivors leave with clear goals and dreams for their future, equipped to break cycles of abuse and poverty. At E.L.I’s House, we believe that love and resources together create powerful change.
Join us in our mission to fight against trauma and empower survivors to heal and thrive.
