At "Stop 2 Heal" Residential Treatment and Outreach Center, we value the trust that people place in us. Here are some of the inspiring testimonies from those that have escaped the trafficking experience:

1. "When I think of freedom, I think of a woman in Army fatigues because overcoming sex trauma is like coming out of war. In the war zone, I was wounded both physically and emotionally, but lived to fight another day. I AM A SURVIVOR!" - Macy*

2. "I was sex trafficked for seven years and treated as a piece of property. We travelled from city to city and from state to state; never knowing where I was. I was told when to get up, what to do, what to eat, and what to wear. I really had nothing of my own. One day something came over me, I was tired of this! First opportunity I got, I ran away in fear of my life. I am so glad that I got my "nerves" together. It has been a long and winding road, but my life is much better. I am in a stable place, full of peace and taking one day at a time to be me." - Ann*

3. "It has taken me a long time to overcome the spirit of fear, but with God's help, I am healing." - Jessica*
