Restored Wings (Rejuvenating Women)

Restored Wings is a non­profit organization providing hope and restoration to women and children who have suffered trauma from human trafficking. We are committed to developing long-lasting relationships with deeply wounded women by loving each and everyone right where she is in life. We raise awareness of both labor and sex trafficking in the community as well as invest in the lives of victims and survivors who are living in our residential homes and those participating in the programs.

Types of Programs and Services we offer:

Expectant Mothers:  Short or long-term housing for the expected mother. The mother will be able to have her baby live with her for up to 6-months while case management helps her find her own place for her and her baby. This program is specific for pregnant survivors seeking a safe refuge to begin their healing journey while not worrying about where they will live with their new baby. She will be included in all of the trauma-focused programs with the other women in the house and will have her own bedroom just for her and her baby. 

Short-Term Housing: Our short-term transitional housing is available for survivors for up to 90 days. Our short-term housing assistance offers many services which are available to the resident including case management and trauma therapy. Short-term participants will have the opportunity to get connected with other survivors and be teamed up with a mentor.

Long-Term Housing Program: Restored Wings offers an 18 to 24-month sanctuary for women age 19+ at the Restored Wings home. The Residential Program empowers women of human trafficking and sexual exploitation to discover their true identities in a safe and loving environment that will allow them to achieve economic freedom and spiritual growth, in addition to attaining physical, mental, and emotional healing. The Restored Wings Program is a long-term program with four distinct phases. Each phase completed is a huge accomplishment and graduates will be rewarded with a celebration dinner, a certificate of completion, and the opportunity to enter the next phase if they desire to do so. Completion of all four phases will result in a special graduation ceremony.

Phase 1: RW Intensive Trauma Recovery Program This phase starts with rest (Day 1-7 approximately). Residents are encouraged to rest and get familiar with their new environment. They will receive a tour, complete initial paperwork, review and sign the resident handbook, complete assessments, and meet their Case Manager. Safety is a top priority. This phase is to ensure each woman’s immediate needs for safety are met.

Phase 2: RW Internship Program This phase will focus on growth. The resident will be actively practicing the new concepts they have been learning such as healthy boundaries, distress tolerance, and mindfulness techniques, and working through triggers and unhealthy urges. The resident will continue to review their goals and set new long-term goals with their Case Manager as they continue to grow and move toward change. The resident’s schedule will be adjusted as the internship which will reduce class time.

Phase 3: RW Transitional Program This phase is focused on consistency. The resident will be able to distinguish between thoughts and feelings, replace lies with God’s truth, and recognize their own unhealthy thought patterns, emotional regulation, and an awareness of their strengths and spiritual gifts. The resident will focus on the next steps of their life such as employment or education and housing. The resident will be able to find a job that is approved by the leadership team and their therapist. In this Phase, the resident will be able to work towards obtaining a vehicle.

Phase 4: Independent Living Program This phase is focused on maintaining the new life the resident has formed. They will be able to make significant steps towards furthering their education and career, independently providing their own transportation, as well as achieving their own housing. The resident may take on leadership roles & tasks in the RW home.

Restored Wings purchased a property that will be a refuge for child sex trafficking survivors once it is ready. The Restored Wings Ranch is an acreage that focuses on recovery from the many different levels of complex trauma after sex trafficking.  It is proven that animal-assisted therapy onsite heals the many facets of trauma from within. There is something to be said about having a recovery program onsite that includes therapy animals. This home is gorgeous with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms with much space for each girl to find her place of peace and rest. The entire property is surrounded by trees and gives the ultimate sense of recovery each survivor needs. 

Your gift in any amount will provide school supplies and curriculum, clothing, new beds and bedding, gas for transportation, and food for our farm animals used for onsite assisted therapy.
