Thistle Hills Our mission at Thistle Hills is to serve women who are survivors of trafficking and addiction and deserve a second chance at life.

Thistle Hills is a residential program and soon-to-be social enterprise located in the rolling hills of Coatesville, PA. We help transform the lives of women who have been trafficked and addicted. We are a residential program that supports women in recovery and help them get back on their feet and heal from trauma. Our Program
There are four phases that correspond to stages of individual change and growth within the sanctuary of community:

0–6 MONTHS OF RESIDENCY
Welcome to the Circle
During the first six months of residency residents are encouraged to focus on recovery from addiction, set goals for personal, financial, and family health, rest, and learn to live in the community.

6–12 MONTHS OF RESIDENCY
Consider the Thistle
Starting in Phase Two residents are referred to community providers for weekly individual therapy to begin to address the connection between childhood experiences, addiction, trafficking, and/or prostitution.

12–24 MONTHS OF RESIDENCY
Find Your Way Home
In Phase Three of residency, women will work closely with the Program Services Team to transition into independent living. They are expected to participate in all requirements and responsibilities of community life, all aspects of the Thistle Hills program, set an example and provide leadership for the newer residents, and continue to practice and live in active recovery. Thistle Hills will continue to assist with the educational endeavors of women in Phase Three in order that they might complete their educational goals. GRADUATION & BEYOND
A Sister for Life
Sisters for Life are Thistle Hills graduates who remain actively involved in the Thistle Hills community. After successful completion of the first three phases, residents graduate and become Sisters for Life. Depending on each individual woman’s circumstances and resources, she may transition out of her Thistle Hills residence up to three months in advance of her graduation date or up to three months after. Our Services include:
• Housing
• Educational Opportunities
• Referral & Support for Treatment
• Transportation
• Legal Support Intervention
• Group Sessions
• Housing & Security Deposit Assistance
• Healthcare & Prescription Medication

💜 A Heartfelt Thank You to Justamere Foundation💜

We are incredibly grateful to Justamere Foundation for standing beside the women of Thistle Hills as Survivor Champion Sponsors of our Annual Fundraising Dinner!

Justamere Foundation has been with us from the beginning, supporting our residents and staff in pottery lessons as part of our social enterprise. They have made an extraordinary commitment to Thistle Hills—and their continued generosity means more than we can say. Their support is not simply a sponsorship of an evening; it is an investment in hope, healing, independence, and beautiful new beginnings.

Because of friends like Justamere Foundation, women who have survived trafficking, exploitation, and addiction have the opportunity to experience something many have never known: a safe place to heal, the support to rebuild, and the chance to create a future they can truly call their own.

✨ Join us for the Thistle Hills Annual Fundraising Dinner & Silent Auction!
📅 Thursday, October 15, 2026
🕔 5:00–8:00 PM
📍 Chester County Art Association
100 North Bradford Avenue, West Chester, PA

Thank you, Justamere Foundation, for believing in the mission of Thistle Hills and, most importantly, for believing in the women we serve.

Your continued support is helping us transform challenging pasts into beautiful futures. 💜

We are so grateful to have you as part of the Thistle Hills family!
