What is Human Trafficking?

Human trafficking is a crime that involves compelling or coercing a person to provide labor or services, or to engage in commercial sex acts. 

It is a hidden crime that exploits the most vulnerable in society, often occurring out of sight, making it challenging to address. Efforts to combat human trafficking include raising awareness, strengthening legal frameworks, and providing support to survivors.  

In My Father’s Kitchen (IMFK) provides a beacon of hope through our Life House program to women survivors of human trafficking. Offering a holistic approach to aid women who have suffered from the trauma of human trafficking. This program includes stages of healing and growth, such as Reset, Restore, and Rebuild allowing each individual to progress at their own pace toward recovery and self-sufficiency. IMFK’s commitment to these vulnerable individuals extends beyond immediate needs, aiming to restore dignity and hope for a better future. 

What is Life House?

Life House is a nine-month program for women who are survivors of human trafficking.  A trauma-informed 24/7 staff is onsite to assist in each resident’s healing process. 

Our Program 

We believe integrating Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Scripture can significantly aid in women’s trauma recovery.  By combining CBT’s structured approach with the spiritual guidance of Scripture, a woman can address the multifaceted effects of trauma.  This holistic method supports healing in all aspects of their well-being. 

Where are we?

The Life House facility is situated in Upstate New York.  The exact location remains undisclosed, and the address is kept confidential to ensure the safety of both residents and staff. 

What is the Cost? 

The Life House Residential Program provides a supportive environment for women who meet the eligibility criteria, offering them a rent-free stay, along with essential items such as clothing, toiletries, and meals throughout their nine-month journey with us.  This initiative empowers residents to focus on personal growth without the financial burden of living expenses. 

How do I apply? 

Life House provides a structured living environment for individuals who are transitioning back into society from modern-day slavery. To ensure a supportive and committed community, residents must be referred by a recognized agency or court system. Those interested in referring a client can request the necessary referral form via email, ensuring a streamlined process that respects the privacy and dignity of all parties involved. 

How can I help? 

Life House plays a crucial role in providing essential services to women in need. By offering housing, food, and clothing at no cost, it ensures that those facing tough times can find hope and support. Becoming a monthly supporter can make a significant impact, allowing Life House to maintain and expand its operations, and ensuring that the assistance they provide remains consistent and reliable. Every contribution, whether monetary or through gift cards, is a step towards sustaining this vital community resource.
