My Nonprofit Reviews

I've been involved with Made by Survivors ever since I heard Sarah speak so eloquently and passionately at a women's retreat here in Colorado over six years ago. During that time I've organized fund raisers, spoken to groups, purchased and sold the jewelry to raise money to build shelters, educate, and give counseling and love to the survivors. Every moment of working with them has left me increasingly impressed with the dedication, high integrity, and compassionate service that Sarah and John and all those involved continue to exhibit. This charity works: It has served thousands of survivors and continues to give 100% of profit from sale of the products to those who need it.

Ten Charities, of Made by Survivors, is for sure the best non profit I've been involved with. The founder, Sarah Symons, has taken on a gargantuan problem (slavery) and worked tirelessly, with strength and compassion for seven years to offer hope for a new life to survivors. I know it hasn't always been easy. There were sacrifices, disappointments, setbacks.
But because of persistence, passion, and an excellent business plan, TEN is now flourishing. Everyone seems to want to help. We partner with dozens of organizations around the world, we've virtually saved the lives of thousands of girls, and we've helped raise awareness of the reality of what traffickng really means.
I'm so proud to be a part of this organization! Sarah's new book, No Ordinary Joy, sums up the essence of TEN: To bring joy where there was despair, to bring a future where there was none, to bring love where there was fear. And this joy belongs to all of us--volunteers, donors, board members, and of course the survivors.
And PS. This is the only non profit I know of where 100$ of the money we make selling their products goes right back to the survivors!
