Miami is one of the most lucrative cities in the illegal sex trade. In a recent article published by The Miami Herald, it's estimated that the illicit sex market produces $235 million in our city alone - coming in far ahead of both the drug market ($96 million), and the gun market ($106 million). Also in the Miami Herald on January 28th of this year, human trafficking inestigator Emiliano Tamayo states, "We need more places to help these girls heal". It's a sentiment he formed after seaching for a bed for a rescued 18 year old woman after she'd been drugged by her pimp. He found one eventualy, but had to drive 30 minutes to Homestead to get her there. The need for safe shelter for women between the ages of 18-24 is undeniable.
The Glory House of Miami is a Christ-centered nonprofit organization established in 2012. Consisting mainly of volunteers, we're working together to build a home for survivors of sex trafficking where they will receive shelter, healing, and hope.
The Glory House of Miami currently mentors two survivors, but our vision is to provide long term housing and services for 8 survivors (between the ages of 18 and 24 years), We've set an ambitious fundraising goal of $250K to bring this dream to fruition.
Services we aim to provide for survivors:
- long term shelter and restoration to productive, quality lives
- a peaceful environment conducive to healing and total restoration of spirit, soul, and body
- assistance with appropriate education and training to become economically self-sufficient
- access to community resources
- medical assistance
- mentorship and prayer.
