About the Nonprofit
Visit Our Website
Reclaim13 is a Chicagoland nonprofit that serves young female survivors of sex trafficking and exploitation. Our minor home provides services for girls 10-17 years old.
Cherish House, is a safe house for trafficked children ages 10-17, providing a secure place where girls are no longer burdened by fear and where they can start to focus on what lies ahead rather than what’s in the past.
Cherish House is one of the only safe options where children can be placed on a 24-hour basis. There is an enormous need for housing victims of child sex trafficking. We work closely with law enforcement and other agencies to care for girls, but the need is still enormous.
As a long-term, trauma-informed, residential treatment facility, the house provides physical safety and a loving environment where girls are supported by experienced staff as they gain the skills they need to live a life beyond exploitation. The girls are mentored, learn life skills, and are given educational opportunities that help them shape new lives for themselves.
