Whether you are a shelter, counselor, outreach leader, or advocacy group, the Network of Hope exists to help you find connection, share resources, and stand together in the fight for healing and restoration.

How The Dream Began

In 2008, Pastor Larrie Fraley, Skye Steele, and Pastor Brian Steele came together to launch what today has become the Where Hope Lives program, a powerful initiative aimed at addressing the issue of human trafficking, particularly focusing on the vulnerable girls in Phoenix, Arizona and communities across the United States. Their collective passion for making a difference and bringing hope to those who had fallen victim to this heinous crime was the driving force behind the program’s inception.

The founders shared a deep commitment to combating human trafficking, an issue that had been largely overlooked at the time, especially in Phoenix.

With a shared vision of creating a safe haven for trafficked girls, they embarked on a journey that would change countless lives.

The Where Hope Lives program initially began as a grassroots effort, with the founders leveraging their connections within the local community and church networks to raise awareness and generate support. Their dedication and unwavering commitment to the cause soon began to attract the attention of like-minded individuals and churches in the area.

Over the years, the program experienced remarkable growth and expansion, thanks to the generous support of churches and individuals who recognized the urgent need to combat human trafficking and provide a lifeline for its victims.

These supporters rallied behind Where Hope Lives, providing financial assistance, resources, and volunteering their time to ensure its success.

Every day, children are pulled into trafficking—many by people they should have been able to trust. Our Dream is that every child who needs long term healing from trafficking would have a safe place to heal.

The Big Dream

Every day in America, children are pulled into trafficking, often through manipulation online or betrayal by people they should have been able to trust.

Where Hope Lives is building the nation’s first recovery facility designed exclusively for child and young adult survivors—a place where trauma is treated at its root, safety is restored, and healing becomes possible.

This project is more than a building; it’s a lifeline. Every hallway, every bed, every treatment room will exist because a child needed someone to believe in their future.
