Elizabeth Anne’s Haven Fundraiser!
Saturday September 27th!
Elizabeth Anne’s Haven Fundraiser at the Comanche Drive In Theatre!
Elizabeth Anne’s Haven presents a Fistful of Dollars!
Elizabeth Anne's Haven is Bringing Our Valley HOPE's response to the great need for safe and restorative housing for survivors of adult human trafficking. It is truly a miracle when anyone escapes the slavery of human trafficking. Those who do escape have special needs to make a full recovery from their trauma.
We are currently fundraising to purchase a home or land in Chaffee County Colorado on which to build the home. In addition to financing the home itself, we are raising funds to completely cover two years of operations before we open our doors in 2026.
We welcome anyone interested in volunteering their time, skills or funds to make this sanctuary home ready to greet hopeful survivors who are beginning a fresh new chapter in their lives. It is very exciting to share about this safe haven, established by caring folks in a loving community.
COME OUT AND SUPPORT THIS IMPORTANT EVENT!
