Our Impact

Our mission: to help every woman who has suffered from commercial sexual exploitation find healing, freedom, and a fresh start.

Our measure of success is the number of victims and survivors we meet through Naomi’s House—because every day a woman is supported by one of our services is one less day that she has to be trafficked and abused.

Finding Freedom

Since Naomi’s House began in 2016, our holistic model has grown from serving five women through Reside (our residential program) to serving hundreds of women across the Chicagoland area through multiple, unique programs. In each one, women have taken the bold steps to leave lives of commercial sexual exploitation in favor of freedom, healing, and independence—and every last one of them has encountered the love of Christ along the way.

In 2022, over 110 women received services from NH and worked hard to accomplish these amazing victories:

What Former Residents Are Saying

 

“I am so thankful for everyone who has donated to make this a reality for me. It brings me to tears knowing you believe in us although you’ve never met us and probably never will.”

— K, Former NH Resident

 

“I never thought it was possible for me to get to where I am today, but because of NH, I am. NH is like family. On days when I wanted to leave, give up, or die, I had this house and the staff cheering me on and helping me get through.”

— S, Former NH Resident

 

“I never thought it was possible to function like I am now: sober, working, and not being abused. I’m not the same person I was when I entered NH. Before, I only knew how to mask my pain.”

— T, Former NH Resident

 

“My biggest fear was that I wasn’t going to be a normal person again. Now, I’m able to really see myself—the person I used to be. I feel normal again…I’m back to the person I like.”

— J, Former NH Resident

 

“The first time I got paid from my new job, I wept. Never had I earned a paycheck in such a dignified way.”

— V, Former NH Resident

 

“I’ve never seen so much love in one place.”

— L, Former NH Resident
