a letter from
OUR CEO
2025 marks my 15th year in the anti-trafficking space. As a visionary and forerunner, my perspective has evolved greatly. Over the years, I’ve served thousands of survivors, providing housing, outreach, and various resources. My vast experience gives me a unique lens, which has pivoted recently to be laser focused on prevention.
​
After a decade of leading safe housing and hearing thousands of survivors share strikingly similar stories, a deep and holy discontent began to stir within me. My passion has always been to address issues at their root, and the heartbreaking reality was undeniable: the stories of the women we served were painfully predictable, almost as if written from the same tragic script.
​
Every system had failed them. Abuse often began as early as 3 or 4 years old, yet family members, educators, healthcare professionals, and first responders consistently missed the signs. Even faith communities, which should have been places of refuge, too often failed to see, address, or advocate for them. The devastating truth is that childhood sexual abuse is the root cause for 92% of those who find themselves trafficked. Their secrets, carried silently through childhood, were either ignored or, worse, weaponized against them. It became clear to me that prevention was not just an option—it was the only way forward.
The Foundation United focuses on getting to the root, finding the child, and interrupting their story before they need a safe home and their life and destiny fully restored. We are passionately and relentlessly equipping each system on a national and global scale to have eyes to see. You have heard that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure; in this case, prevention is everything. What if it were your child? You would give anything to interrupt and identify the abuse before it progressed even one day. That is our heart; no more blind eyes, not on our watch.
I have also learned through the past decade the great need for collaboration, unity, and transparency in outcomes, measurements, and audited financials. The Foundation United aims to take the guesswork out and help donors identify the most credentialed service providers. Together we can unite, empower and harness the true power of that network to be world changers. We know that together, we can save exponentially more lives! The Foundation United creates a solid system of care and technical training to protect survivors of sexual exploitation, prevent innocent children from being targeted by predators, and empower our front-line protectors in the criminal justice and healthcare systems, churches, and world leaders. We offer the most cutting-edge trainings in the needed areas to get ahead of the issue and eradicate the problem.​

​
With so many nonprofits claiming to make an impact, donor confusion is at an all-time high. How do you ensure that your investment will produce results? Having earned a reputation as a proven leader in this space, The Foundation United was responsible for identifying and locking arms with other well-vetted, credentialed leaders and organizations. We have created a "one-stop" donor experience where supporters can give confidently, knowing that their investment will save lives through numerous leading organizations in our network.​
​
Sexual exploitation is not an issue designated for impoverished countries and television documentaries. It is hiding in plain sight. It targets every child, regardless of race, gender, zip code, or socioeconomic background.
Sexual exploitation, trafficking and abuse are happening right where you are.
Getting ahead of it is VITAL, and makes all 100% PREVENTABLE.
TOGETHER we can expose, disarm, and ultimately ERADICATE IT.
​
Thank you for joining us on this journey to bring freedom, justice, and hope to every life! ​
