A little more about our organization
What do we do and how does TNTF helped Survivors?
We provide survivor services; by connecting them to needed resources, encouraging healthy relationships, providing financial planning and transportation for appointments with TNTF and other agencies. We also offer gift cards and bus passes, help set goals, and coach survivors on stress and relaxation techniques, case management, and spiritual enrichment.
How can you help?
Spread the Word; Invite our organization to give a presentation about human trafficking awareness to your church, workplace, or business. Stopping this tragedy begins with knowing the signs and understanding that trafficking happens everywhere.
A Permanent Location With a permanent location such as an apartment complex, TNTF could house survivors, host community meals, provide laundry facilities, and teach life skills. In addition, there would be an opportunity to have support groups or participate in Art Therapy. With a permanent location, we could have paid staff, a Social Worker, a therapist, an Education Specialist, a Dietitian, a Case Manager, and security. In addition, our hours of availability would increase. Today, we are only available for four to five hours one or two days of the week to meet with survivors. With your help in meeting our Building Empowered Survivors Campaign, we can be open five days a week instead of one. Not only would we have a permanent location, but we could save on the transportation cost for survivors and have a place to store other types of donations.

Transportation: Survivors have limited resources, and transportation significantly impacts their ability to thrive as they recover and become self-sufficient. A central part of our program is providing transportation for survivors to our services at True North to Freedom, doctor appointments, school, work, training, and the grocery store. We average transportation costs of $500.00 monthly.
Gift Cards and Donations: As the only service provider to trafficking survivors in Macomb County, TNTF runs on the generosity of its donors. We rely primarily on donations to help support survivors. We offer survivors gift cards to Kroger or Meijer in increments of $25 or less and gift cards to Dollar Tree or Family Dollar in increments of $10. The gift cards help to cover their basic needs since our program encourages accountability. Are you able to donate gift cards?
