Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Disaster Aid, Disaster Preparedness & Relief Services
Mission: Compassion first is a christian relief organization serving child sex-trafficking survivors through long-term residential and community-based aftercare, legal advocacy, peer-to-peer law enforcement training and case-managed intervention support.
Programs: Operation #1: residential aftercare and community based care operations ran at capacity for all of 2017. We continue to provide wrap-around trauma informed care including therapeutic solutions, resiliency-based care, catch-up education and college preparation where possible. Operation #2: two community drop-in centers run at capacity with specific programming for children, teens, and adults. A child sponsorship program has allowed for documentation and enrollment into school for 24 children. Operation #3: a second aftercare shelter facility was leased and staff were hired. Relationships with law enforcement continue to expand. This operation looks similar to our flagship work described above in operation #1. In the meantime, we are participating in the provision of care through partners with facilities in nearby cities. Operation #4: local focus has been refined to regular direct financial and personnel support for safety compass, a local advocacy and resource organization for survivors of sexual exploitation. Direct support is also being provided for hannah grace ministries, an organization providing very specialized foster care.
