Esther’s House
We are working to open Esther’s House by July 2026 as a safe haven for children who have been removed from trafficking situations. This home will provide a secure, nurturing environment where survivors can begin to heal and rebuild their lives. We need the support of the public to make this vision a reality — your contributions will help fund this critical initiative and give these children the safety and hope they deserve.
Bringing Esther’s House to Life
Esther’s House will be established through a phased funding approach designed to ensure both immediate feasibility and long-term sustainability. Our immediate goal is to raise $120,000, which allows us to meet lender requirements, secure financing, and begin establishing the home. This initial phase unlocks the door — allowing the vision of Esther’s House to move from concept to reality.
The full vision for Esther’s House is $500,000, which reflects the complete cost of land acquisition, safety and security, furnishings, programming, and sustainable operating reserves. Reaching this goal allows the home to operate responsibly, safely, and without limitation, ensuring uninterrupted, trauma-informed care for survivors.
In addition to community and private support, The Helianthus Project intends to apply for a competitive grant anticipated to open through the State Human Trafficking Task Force. While this opportunity aligns closely with the mission and purpose of Esther’s House, grant awards are not guaranteed. For this reason, founding partners and community support remain essential to ensure forward progress and long-term stability regardless of external funding outcomes.
Impact levels reflect the full $500,000 vision for Esther’s House.
