A current resident of Eden House bravely gave a moving speech at the event, in which she told her story as a survivor and advocated for immediate change in our state. Clemmie Greenlee, a survivor and graduate of Eden House's sister program Thistle Farms in Nashville, also gave an inspiring speech at the event. Clemmie was foundational to starting Eden House and worked until April 2014 as a live-in mentor for our residents. We are proud of these survivors for speaking their truth and using their voices to make a positive change!

URGENT NEED: Upgrading your kitchen? Moving? Have a fridge you want out of your house? Let us take it off your hands! Eden House is in desperate need of 3 full-size fridges for our residences as our houses are filling up and our refrigerators are overloaded. In addition, two fridges are broken and cannot be repaired.

Eden House will soon expand our services to include an Emergency Shelter, where Eden House will provide short-term emergency housing and services for human trafficking victims who need immediate assistance in the Greater New Orleans area. This will be the only emergency shelter in our region designed specifically for adult victims of human trafficking.

In order to open the much-needed Emergency Shelter, we need YOUR help! Please consider making a donation to help support the opening of this essential service for survivors in New Orleans!

We are also in dire need of 2 permanent installed generators. Without a generator, Eden House must evacuate our residents in the event of an extended power outage. So many of us have experienced evacuation and understand the trials and tribulations of having to do so. But try finding a place for 16 residents to go, finding transportation to get them to that destination, transporting them along in evacuation traffic, cleaning out 8 refrigerators before leaving or when returning, finding a way to get Medicaid prescriptions filled in another state (impossible) and so much more. Not to even speak of the fact that all these residents are already dealing with serious trauma and the move away from routine and safety into an unknown situation immensely exacerbates the trauma. We really need and would so appreciate those generators!
