Restoring Lives 20132014 Annual Report
Dear Friends and Supporters, MARY FRANCES BOWLEY Founder and Chief Strategic Officer MIKE ENNIS President and Chief Executive Officer OUR VISION IS TO END DOMESTIC MINOR SEX TRAFFICKING WELLSPRING LIVING S MISSION IS TO HELP DMST VICTIMS AND THE VULNERABLE DEVELOP THE COURAGE TO MOVE FORWARD AND THE CONFIDENCE TO SUCCEED Over the past 12 months, Wellspring Living has experienced dynamic opportunities for growth and refinement. The Wellspring Living Board of Directors and staff have sought to move strategically toward the future. To truly move forward, it was essential that strong leadership come alongside our work. In January, Mike Ennis joined Wellspring Living as the CEO/President. My role changed to one that is more out in front for development and strategic planning and implementation of new partnerships and programs. Working with Mike, we have already seen the reality of accomplishing more together to help survivors and those at risk of being trafficked. As we move toward the future impact of Wellspring Living, we want to thank you for your investment in building a strong foundation. It is through the prayers, service, and generosity of people like you that have made it possible to serve more girls and women and expand to new horizons. It has been a privilege to serve Wellspring Living through the second half of the 2014 fiscal year. I have come to know and appreciate some amazingly gifted and dedicated individuals through these few months. It has, without a doubt, been one of my highest honors. Being a progenitor in this field of restoration services for survivors of Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking (DMST) certainly has its challenges. However, we are seeing some of the greatest breakthroughs in concept and delivery of services that we have ever seen. The most amazing part is that we are seeing life transformation happen in the lives of these girls! Wellspring Living has enjoyed some amazing years of fruitful service. However, I believe our greatest years are still yet to be. The need has never been greater but neither have the opportunities! None of this would be possible without faithful friends like you! Your commitment to confronting this issue is amazing! Our commitment to you is that we will continue to serve these resilient survivors with integrity and a tireless passion. together, we are making a difference!
But something was different. The staff really believed in my potential. They worked with me on my education and helped me to learn things I thought I could never learn. RESTORINGLIVES I never imagined that I would live past the age of 18, much less finish high school but with the help of Wellspring Living, I have. I am now excited about running toward opportunities instead of running away. I start college in the fall and hope to be a counselor one day and help other girls like me.

These three organizations saw the need to provide a comprehensive program to provide HOPE to struggling young women in need. The Empowered Living Academy provides young women with the courage to move forward and the confidence to succeed through providing the following programs: A GED program for young women who have not completed high school Life skills classes (Healthy Relationships, Finances, Basic Household Duties, etc) Health and Fitness Classes (including a membership to metro Atlanta YMCA) Selena, 20 4 5 Career Readiness Training (Interviewing Skills, Resume Writing, Software Training) Apprenticeships and the opportunity to obtain a livingwage job of interest By the time I was rescued, I had already been trafficked in eight states. I had never stayed in any program before, so I was determined to run away from Wellspring Living as soon as I got the chance.
