Bridge the Gap: $30,000 for Survivor Support
Help Eden’s Farm raise $30,000 to bridge a critical funding gap while pending grants move through review. Your gift helps keep direct services available, sustain survivor employment, and keep our doors open for individuals seeking support.
Campaign Goal: $30,000
Pittsburgh is known as the City of Bridges. Those bridges connect neighborhoods, people, and possibilities. At Eden’s Farm, we believe survivors should not have to navigate the distance between crisis and stability alone.
Eden’s Farm is asking our community to help us bridge a critical funding gap while several grant applications and funding opportunities move through review.
Founded in 2019, Eden’s Farm began with a small group of people gathered around a shared belief: individuals impacted by human trafficking deserve more than a referral list. They deserve consistent relationships, practical support, meaningful opportunities, and a community that does not give up on them.
What started as a vision in a living room has grown into a survivor-centered organization serving individuals throughout the Pittsburgh region. Today, Eden’s Farm provides direct services, relational case management, basic-needs support, education and advocacy, and workforce opportunities through our Justice Enterprise, where survivors can earn income, build skills, and grow in confidence through meaningful work.
The need has not slowed down.
Just this past month, we added three more individuals to direct services, welcomed another participant into our workforce program, and reconnected with a survivor we first met and supported nearly three years ago. These are real people with real needs, and our team continues to show up.
While larger grants are pending, we need the support of our community to remain steady in this critical season. Your gift helps build a bridge from immediate need to safety, from isolation to connection, and from surviving to having the opportunity to move forward.
Your donation helps Eden’s Farm:
- Keep direct services available for survivors seeking support.
- Provide relational case management, basic needs, mental health support, and connection to resources.
- Sustain survivor employment and workforce development through our Justice Enterprise.
- Keep our doors open, our lights on, and our space safe and welcoming.
- Remain responsive when someone reaches out for help.
Our goal is to raise $30,000 to help cover this bridge period and ensure that our services, survivor wages, and daily operations can continue without interruption.
Every gift matters. Whether you are able to give $10, $25, $50, $100, or more, you are helping make sure Eden’s Farm remains a place where survivors are met with dignity, opportunity, and long-term support.
In a city known for its bridges, we are asking our community to help build one more: a bridge to safety, stability, healing, and hope. Thank you for standing with Eden’s Farm and helping us continue this work when it is needed most.
