Blanket Fort Hope marks ten years of committed efforts to support the survivors of the children's trade. As part of this milestone, the non -profit organization is preparing to open a restoration house that offer a long -term residence for those who need healing and stability.
The house is built on the 73 hectare property of the organization in Shelby County and offer individual bedrooms and bathrooms for nine girls. Future plans include the construction of seven additional houses with five bedrooms in the country to expand the capacity for survivors.
Statistics of Blanket Fort Hope show that 57% of the victims of human trafficking in Alabama are children. The organization underlines the devastating reality that some children are used several times a day and, due to health complications such as STDS, HIV and suicide, are often only exposed to life expectancy of only seven years for seven years. The non -profit organization recognizes the urgent need for long -term care and is committed to ensuring that these children have the same possibilities as any other child. The mission is driven by a deep feeling of compassion and conviction that these survivors earn a chance to rebuild their life.
The restoration house is expected to open this summer. The plans for the initiative were discussed in the fourth annual restoration of the Hope Gala of the non -profit organization, in which the funds collected directly support the children who live in the household.
