New Day’s May 2024 Horse Camp!

New Day supported girl “Tanya” receives tutoring to help her reach her goals!

“When Life Is Beautiful and Tragic” a poem by a child sex trafficking survivor.

When these kids start tutoring, they are full of self-doubt and worry that they’re not good enough to even try and learn. Read what the kids have to say about tutoring.

Check out our NEW NITE by New Day event! Where we had a night of music raising awareness of child sex trafficking in America.

As a trauma therapist, I am a journey-mate with the wounded. Most of the girls arrive to therapy emotionally vacant, disconnected from their bodies and living in a constant state of fight or flight.

"Being a survivor of trafficking, more specifically, child sex trafficking from a very young age, I have experienced intense complex trauma and I live with CPTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Because of this, and because I don’t want to be stuck here for the rest of my life, therapy is crucial!"

Words by our horse camp host, “Little did I realize that this one thought would be the beginning of my journey of healing through the magic of a horse.”

My work as a therapist for New Day for Children focuses primarily on attachment - the need we are all born with to form close, emotionally safe bonds. Tragically, traffickers prey on this innate need.

This short clip, from Operation Underground Railroad’s documentary, It’s Happening Right Here, follows the brilliant efforts of law enforcement as they recover a young girl who was being abused for CSAM (child sexual abuse material) to be sold on the dark web.

When a child is trafficked, there is trauma that impacts both the child, and the family unit. In response to this, we're developing a program for parents and caregivers called PATH - Parental Awareness of Trauma, Trafficking and Healing.

Sex trafficking is often misunderstood in America. We may think of it as an “over there” problem, blame the kids, or have pictures from the movies in our head of people being thrown into cars and tires screeching as they’re kidnapped off the streets. Hold up your hand and we’ll use it to gain a clearer understanding of how trafficking most often happens…

Typically, when we say the words “I accidentally…” it’s followed by a negative thing, but not in this case!”

In 2016, I accidentally started volunteering for New Day…

It’s a beautiful thing to meet someone who makes you forget your troubles. Who listens quietly to all your pain, fear and anxiety. Who does not judge you. Does not label you.

My name is Lex and I want to personally invite you to New Day for Children’s gala on October 2.
