In this powerful final replay of our Safe Home Training Series, we shift from starting and running a safe home to how you can support one—as a volunteer, a donor, a church, a business, or simply someone who cares deeply about restoring lives from human trafficking.

Host Jeremy Hicks is joined once again by Brandy Cristafulli, founder of Life Recaptured, for a heartfelt, honest, and incredibly practical conversation on what kind of help truly makes a difference—and why most safe homes can't survive without it.

Whether you're wondering how to give, volunteer, network, or advocate for survivors—this episode is your step-by-step guide.
