Our focus: building a Village
Los Angeles County is one of the highest intensity areas for sexual exploitation of children in the United States. When these children become adults, they are often placed in transitional living accommodations that don’t provide the support they require, leaving them traumatized and unable to function normally.
Give - Mentor - Love is building a Village - a holistic living and learning environment for survivors of sex trafficking. The Village will offer survivors the necessary support, healing, and shelter, along with life skills training to help them transform their lives. Give - Mentor - Love’s goal is to empower these survivors to break free from their past and build a brighter future.
Adela Estrada, CSEC Program Administrator for LA County:
“We are in need of homes in LA County that can house these youth so that they have a safe place to live with the consistent guidance and support they need to heal, recover, and learn the skills needed to live independently and as contributing members of society.”
Give - mentor - love supporters unite to build a safe haven for los angeles county sex trafficked survivors
Give – Mentor – Love Foundation raised $1,095,000 to build a Village of holistic care and transformative living for sex trafficked survivors in Los Angeles County that age out of foster care. Our annual fundraiser was held on September 28, 2023 at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills. We are sincerely grateful to all of our sponsors, donors and supporters.

Our love makes an impact:
Thank you for supporting me even after I emancipated. I have talked about my goals for years and with all your support and words of encouragement I received and still receive from all of you, I am working hard towards my dream, to become a surgeon. Receiving my first white coat has been a great accomplishment. I hope you know how much all of you have impacted and changed my life for good. I appreciate you and will always be grateful to you.
