Refuge
Our refuge consists of two long-term therapeutic homes where child sex trafficking survivors can heal and receive trauma-informed care. In this nurturing home environment, the girls can process their trauma with the support of loving staff, daily family activities, and various therapeutic interventions, including equine therapy.
Additionally, we offer a supervised independent living village for young women who have turned 18 but still seek support as they pursue higher education or employment. This program provides the necessary guidance and resources to help them transition successfully to the next stage of their lives.
Why New Life Refuge?
Braselton
The Braselton home was our first home built in 2018. This home was made possible by Braselton Development and other generous donors. It consists of a spacious living area with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. It features 2 large porches complete with rocking chairs. The front porch overlooks the pond.
Valero
The Valero Home, our second home, opened in 2022 thanks to a generous donation from the Valero Energy Foundation. This home features four bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, a large living area, and an attached schoolroom. Its large wrap-around porch, complete with rocking chairs, overlooks a pond and the serene landscape, providing a peaceful setting for recovery and growth.
Independent Living Villiage
The newest addition to our refuge campus is the Independent Living Village, made possible by a generous grant from the Charity League of Corpus Christi. Located across the campus from our two therapeutic homes, the village features four cabins for residents and one cabin that houses a full kitchen, laundry facilities, and community space.
This village is designed for young women aged 18 and older who choose to continue receiving our support as they begin the next chapter of their lives. It allows them to live more independently while still having access to the support and guidance they need to navigate this new stage of life.
