First Annual Haven for Hope Gala - 2022
The first annual Haven for Hope Fundraiser Gala held at Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort was a tremendous success due to the dedication of our many volunteers and the generous support from our local community. Beth Ritchie, Haven for Hope Founder, and Becky Martin, Board President, both spoke of the great need for a restorative home that will meet the needs of women who have been rescued from trafficking to rebuild their lives with the emphasis on the healing of body, mind and spirit.
Jessa Dillow Crisp was our featured speaker who was formerly sex trafficked and is now restored and is now an advocate for those needing the same kind of help and healing.
$15,000 was raised toward a future home in Chaffee County
for the restoration of trafficked survivors!
