At Sarah’s Home, we provide a sanctuary for teenage girls who are survivors of sex trafficking as they reclaim the life God created them to live.
We’re here because there is hope for every story.
Our faith-based program is designed to walk each girl through the process of coming to terms with their pain and empowering them in their healing. We equip them and their support network with enough tools to continue their healing journey in a healthy way.
Our house is truly a HOME where survivors have the space to begin their lifelong healing journey. We serve teenage girls from all over the United States, ages 12 through 17, who are survivors of sex trafficking. Our relationships with our community, FBI agents, courts, local law enforcement and guardian ad litems in the state of Colorado have connected us with these survivors and continue to align with us in the fight against sex trafficking.
"Sarah’s home is not just a group home, they are family. Everyone there is always caring. If it wasn’t for Sarah’s Home I don’t know if I would have found my self-worth or even figured out that my family loves me. Sarah’s Home is a wonderful place to find yourself and make a family. I have been away from Sarah's Home for about 2-3 years and I still talk to everyone that works there. For them, it is not a job it is a calling. The staff are wonderful people who are always there for you and watch out for your well-being. Many people get scared when they hear a place is a Christian home, but I can tell you that I was able to finally realize that I have an eternal family that is not blood-related. I thank my Heavenly Father every day for the staff, they are my family. When I struggle my mom knows and the first thing she asks me is if I have called or talked to someone from Sarah's Home. I love the staff with all my heart and they will always be family." -Previous Sarah's Home Girl
"My experience with working side by side with Sarah's Home was .... empowering. I felt very supported and loved in a very nonjudgmental way. The ladies at Sarah's Home were more than willing to put their own lives aside and come together to save not only my beloved daughter but me as well. There is an overwhelming sense of commitment, determination, and abounding love for all of us involved. God's love and mercy are shown in each one of the ladies working to rescue children. I felt empowered by the wise words of all involved. There were many opportunities for knowledge and many of those willing to teach me not only about the trafficking of children but how God's love shines upon us all even when we don't feel we deserve it. All the women of Sarah's Home inspired me and motivated me to be a better person.
THANK YOU ALL!!!" -Lisa
At Sarah’s Home, we provide a sanctuary for teenage girls who are survivors of sex trafficking as they reclaim the life God created them to live.
Sarah’s Home was the vision of the Rocky Mountain District Women’s Ministries, who, for twenty years, had taken mission trips worldwide.
They had witnessed child sex trafficking in most of the countries they visited and were extremely heartbroken when they realized that commercial sexual exploitation of minors also happens right here in the United States.
While there are thousands of minors trafficked in the United States annually, there are minimal resources and beds available.
The group was determined to increase the number of spaces available, and they were able to get a church donated and converted into a five-bedroom house. In 2013, they partnered with a local child placement agency and started receiving girls in the foster care system who were survivors of sex trafficking.
In August of 2017, Sarah’s Home received a new license from the State to serve more girls and let them have the opportunity to stay for extended periods of time if needed. Sarah’s Home doors are open to love, serve, and empower girls who have experienced sex trafficking.
