Success Stories
“I didn’t know I was living in a cycle of violence and so were my children. Nova Vita helped me understand that the abuse wasn’t normal.”
“My son felt safe here and came out of his shell again.”
“Staff attended court with me. I felt at ease knowing that they were there to support me.”
“To exit out of trafficking is no small feat. It takes hours of learning who you can trust, waiting for the right opportunity at the right time, a safe person, a safe place to go, a safe way to get there, and people ready to jump into action when you are able to exit.”
“I learned that I wasn’t to blame for my situation.”
