This Year's Project: Program Support Project
About Our Organization
The mission of Lila Mae's House is to provide a safe, healthy environment where adult survivors of sex trafficking can rest, heal, recover and develop life skills to become empowered, independent, self-sufficient women. Lila Mae's House offers a 24-month transitional living program that provides a safe, supportive and trauma-informed environment. Survivors will have coordinated care and assistance with medical needs, mental health, legal needs, education, job training and basic living skills like communication, conflict resolution, and help understanding boundaries, trafficking and trauma. We are a place where women who have been trafficking can regain their voice, dignity and security.
Current Project: Program Support Project
Lila Mae's House provides a very intricate, individualized program for women who have been trafficked. In order to serve each woman best and aid in their specific needs, there are many moving parts that need to work in tandem. Along with providing access to psychiatric care, medical care, and counseling, we provide one on one sessions and group therapy sessions with our case manager, yoga, meditation, equine therapy, breathwork, skills training, oppportunity for education to obtain a GED, access to the arts and creative expression and much much more. With family dinners and group activities, Lila Mae's House teaches about community living and the importance of leaning on those around them for support as well. In order to provide these resources and therapies, Lila Mae's House utilizes a case manager, resource coordinator, volunteers, a transportation vehicle and gas, materials for art, school, and skills training, and other therapeutic resources. The donation amount will contribute to these ongoing costs to empower women, heal their trauma, and help them regain their lives.

Lila Mae's House
Project Details
Lila Mae's House needs your help! We are the only residential resource for sex trafficking survivors in Northwest Iowa. Many people find it difficult to believe sex trafficking happens in our area. The truth is dozens of women need help, and many more go unreported - right here in Siouxland! Lila Mae's House gives survivors in Siouxland a place of healing where they need it most, rather than forcing them to travel across the state (or farther) to get the assistance they need.
We have space to accommodate 7 women. Our highly-trained staff are sensitive to the trauma survivors have experienced and are prepared to create a safe and healing environment. Lila Mae's House needs financial support to offer high-quality care for survivors including: access to high-quality medical, mental health and psychiatric care, trauma therapy, legal representation, financial management education, job training, cooking classes, and more.
