Hi Everyone! Thank you for taking the time to be here with me!
I am grateful for you! <3
Emerald of the Sea is launching our biggest fundraising campaign yet!!!
Grow and Glow 4 the Survivors
We are celebrating 4 years of serving survivors of sexual trauma and exploitation across the nation!! Our hopes for this campaign is that we can raise enough funds to launch a 4 state conference tour in 2023 to reach more survivors nationally!!
This campaign is close to my heart as I have seen from a volunteer and an employee standpoint the impact just one Emerald of the Sea conference can have on survivors, churches, women and men.
When I first moved to Abilene, TX in the summer of 2019 my goal was to find a way to give back to my new community and form new relationships.
Shortly after, I heard of Emerald of the Sea and was so intrigued to learn more as I wanted to join the fight against human trafficking. I immediately applied to become a volunteer. WOW, I will never forget my first meeting with the Director, Esmeralda. She is truly a compassionate, caring, woman of GOD! I knew I had so much to learn from her and the other incredible ladies in the organization. I am so thankful for the opportunity to now work along side Esmeralda and the other ladies as the first employee of Emerald of the Sea! (Special thank you to our amazing donors that made this possible <3)
Serving others is a passion of mine and truly makes me feel whole.
Our vision is to reach survivors across WORLD.
I truly believe the world needs to hear what we have to say!!
Through recovery, prevention, and outreach, we will restore the family system one survivor at a time.
My goal is to raise $500!!
WILL YOU GIVE TRAUMA SURVIVORS IN YOUR REGION THE OPPORTUNITY TO GLOW & GROW IN THEIR HEALING JOURNEY?

Testimonials from previous Events:
"What an amazing weekend this has been! From healing to restoration and being delivered is what God did through this conference. My story is not one that I have really shared. I went from growing up without my dad in my early life. That led to many wrong decisions I would later make in life. I went from getting into a very abusive relationship with such horror and pain. I had to endure from being battered and kidnapped by my abuser.. ..Only to get out of that one and get into another abusive marriage . When I came to Christ I didn’t really know how to process my emotions from the hurt and pain. This weekend has really helped me in understanding what the root in my trauma was. I was now suffering from depression, low self-esteem and many other health issues . This weekend I prayed to God to heal my heart . I knew I needed to release my abusers. I can truly say that through this weekend my heart has been healed and I was able to release my abusers and experience a breakthrough. Emerald of the sea has touched my life in a way like no other. My wounds are now scars that I too one day will show others . Emerald of the Sea is a true instrument of the healing and restoration power of Jesus Christ."
"I believe shackles were shattered that weekend and I will always remember the women who stood by me to help me along my journey of healing."
"This event created the space for me to walk along side my sister in our healing journey together. Having an extended and intentional time to dive into healing through our trauma together was a precious gift that I will cherish forever. The trauma bond we have is now replaced with a healing bond."
"I cannot wait for the next one. I believe as the body of Christ there are parts of it (people) that are deeply wounded and the other parts of the body must take action in assisting our brothers and sisters in real healing. When one scar speaks to a wound, it can direct this process in Jesus much quicker and ALL Glory goes where it should, Jesus!"
