Restore NYC

🚀 Exciting News! We are partnering with Impact Rising and HEAL Trafficking to launch The State of Impact (TSOI) survey, a first-of-its-kind initiative aimed at transforming impact evaluation in the anti-trafficking sector. This 10-year project will help determine how our sector measures outcomes and catalyze our collective efforts toward becoming more impact-oriented. Together, we are charting progress and inspiring momentum! Stay tuned for more updates! #Impactevaluation #AntiTrafficking #TSOI #ImpactRising

To conclude our #MayIsForMothers Campaign and raise awareness for trafficking victims in NYC, Restore hosted the inaugural Freedom Garden during the first week of June. A huge thank you to Citi for joining us and, alongside our network of partners, helping plant 26,000 flowers to represent the 26,000 trafficking victims in NYC. This work would not have been possible without Shimonah Israel and the incredible team of volunteers from Citi. Shimonah, thank you for conceiving this idea and for being such an incredible partner in making freedom a reality for trafficking survivors!

We are grateful for our Restore community coming together to help us surpass our goal of $200K for mothers overcoming trafficking! You helped us unlock the $100K match for a total of $300K! Thank you so much! $300K means: - 200 months of rent, creating a safe home for a family - 800 weeks of childcare, allowing mothers to go to work - 1,500 weeks of trauma counseling - 2,000 nights of safety for a mother and her child via emergency housing - 6,000 weeks of groceries for a mother and her child Thank you for helping make freedom real for mothers overcoming trafficking!

With 1 week to go in the #MayIsForMothers Campaign, we are just $18,000 away from reaching our $200K goal. Hitting that goal means unlocking the full $100K match for a $300K campaign result to provide mothers with housing, counseling, job-readiness, and entrepreneurship training. Thank you to all the friends, partners, and advocates who have shown their support so far! Your support for mothers who are pursuing their goals of permanent freedom helps to end an intergenerational cycle of trafficking, and creates a cycle of flourishing. Will you consider sharing the campaign or making a gift that could put us over the finish line? Your support is matched and goes twice as far through 5/31. https://lnkd.in/dsQ2XES4 Thank you for helping make freedom real, and check out our video highlighting a donor and a staff of Restore sharing on why they support mothers overcoming trafficking.

As we prepare to celebrate mothers across the nation this weekend, we are reminded of the unimaginable reality facing mothers overcoming trafficking. When mothers face housing insecurity, homelessness, or financial devastation, traffickers exploit the urgency they feel to provide stability for their children. When a mother is trafficked, a family is devastated. Your support over the past year, has allowed Restore to serve 136 parents caring for 281 children (both here in NYC and abroad). As we look forward to this Mother's Day we are asking you to come alongside these brave women who are fighting for freedom not only for themselves, but for their children. You can help break the cycle of exploitation in families TODAY! To learn more and support mothers exiting trafficking today, click this #MayIsForMothers link https://lnkd.in/dsQ2XES4

When a mother is trafficked a family is devastated. Almost 70% of the survivors of trafficking served in Restore's core programs are mothers. They are fighting for their freedom and for the freedom of their children. This May, Restore is launching our #MayIsForMothers campaign to come alongside these incredible mothers who are overcoming unimaginable circumstances. As a community if we raise $200,000 we will unlock a $100,000 match from generous donors that will allow us to provide $300,000 to support survivors overcoming trafficking. Will you make a gift today in honor of someone special in your life? Click here for more information and to give today! https://lnkd.in/dsQ2XES4

Restore is excited to be partnering again with The TD Charitable Foundation to deliver best in class, survivor-centered, economic empowerment services to survivors of trafficking. Victims of trafficking are among the most vulnerable populations with few services specifically designed to address survivors’ needs as they rebuild their lives. Restore’s Economic Empowerment program equips survivors with the resources and access needed to improve their financial well-being, utilizing a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and client-centered framework. We are grateful to the TD Charitable Foundation for walking alongside survivors as they work to achieve financial stability via workforce development and entrepreneurship services. In FY23, 100% of the survivors enrolled in core services in active trafficking at intake were no longer being trafficked at 12 months post intake, 84% were living independently, and earnings for survivors who were placed in jobs increased by 356% (from $5,024 at intake to $22,898 at first placement). About the TD Charitable Foundation: The TD Charitable Foundation is the charitable giving arm of TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank®, one of the 10 largest banks in the U.S., providing over 9.8 million customers with a full range of retail, small business and commercial banking products and services at more than 1,100 convenient locations throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Metro D.C., the Carolinas and Florida.
