WHO WE ARE
The sheer number of individuals being trafficked in the world today can be overwhelming, but here at Rescue Her, we do not focus on the magnitude of the problem. Instead, we focus on helping the ONE survivor in front of us… then another, and another. For over 10 years, we have been empowering, supporting, and praying for the ONE. We’ve done this through crisis response, advocacy, safe homes, street outreach, education/prevention, and facilitating rescue operations. From India to Moldova to right here in Texas, we have assisted survivors all across the globe. No matter where we are or what we’re doing, we fight for her. We believe that most people want to fight trafficking - they just don’t know how. Rescue Her is a place that allows those who want to take action to do so. Together we are making a difference!
Currently, our efforts are focused on our crisis response and advocacy program for female adult survivors in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. You can read more about our current programs under What We Do.
We are ordinary people who believe we can make a difference together.

My name is Josie Carignan. I am a wife and a mother of three wonderful children. Rescue Her was born out of the desire in my heart to do SOMETHING to help the helpless in the darkest places…
