A huge thank you to the Draper 7th Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for spending part of their weekend serving at our center! ❤️

Their group came ready to work and helped clean and care for our space, making it a little brighter and more welcoming for the individuals and families we serve.

We are so grateful for community members who are willing to give their time and energy to support our mission. Sometimes service looks like simply showing up, rolling up your sleeves, and helping where help is needed—and we are incredibly grateful they did just that.

Thank you, Draper 7th Ward, for taking such good care of our center and for being part of the HOH community! ❤️

Our Back-to-School Event was a success!

A heartfelt thank you to MOMS Club of Draper for volunteering and helping make the day so special. We are also incredibly grateful to Dentacore for providing free dental care to our clients right here at our center during the event. Their generosity made quality dental care more accessible to the families we serve.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated, and supported this event. Your kindness and generosity helped our clients begin the school year feeling prepared, cared for, and encouraged. We couldn’t have done it without you.

✨We're going LIVE tonight, and we'd love for you to join us!

One of the things I've learned is that healing doesn't happen in isolation—and neither does rebuilding a life.

Tonight I'll be joining Holding Out HELP alongside an incredible group of advocates, survivors, and creators to talk about the power of community, collaboration, and why organizations working together can change lives.

We'll be discussing:

💛 The role community plays in healing

💛 Why partnerships matter

💛 How organizations work together to support individuals and families rebuilding their lives

💛 Ways you can make a difference

🎥 Join us LIVE tonight!

Thank you to everyone who joined us during the live Q&A last night! We are full of gratitude this morning ❤️

Today is day 11 of our 12 Days of Freedom and we are talking about one of the most important needs the individuals we serve have! Housing 🏡

Every person deserves a place where they can feel safe.

For many individuals leaving polygamous communities, finding stable housing isn’t as simple as signing a lease. Many leave without credit history, rental history, financial resources, or a support system to fall back on.

At Holding Out HELP, we work to provide safe housing through our residential homes, apartments for single mothers, and Host Home Program—because healing begins with safety and stability.

💛 Just $150/month can help provide safe housing and support for one client in one of our residential housing programs.

Be the foundation of safety.

There are only 48 hours left in our Ignite the Light: 12 Days of Freedom campaign! Join our monthly giving program, make a lasting impact, and you’ll be entered into our campaign giveaway.

Donate today through the link in our bio. Together, we can help someone find a safe place to begin again.

A huge thank you to our incredible guests for sharing their experiences and insights. Together, we can bring hope, healing, and lasting change.

As part of our Ignite the Light: 12 Days of Freedom campaign, your support helps individuals and families find safety, healing, and a path toward independence.

If you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, ...

Financial freedom isn’t just about numbers—it’s about agency, safety, and reclaiming control of your own life. 🕊️💼

For many individuals transitioning out of polygamous or insular communities, financial literacy was never part of their upbringing. From complex debts established in their names to traditional banking systems being completely withheld, the barriers to independent living can feel overwhelming.

At Holding Out HELP, we believe that true independence starts with practical knowledge. Whether it’s opening a first bank account, applying for critical benefits like SNAP or Medicaid, or simply sitting down to create a basic budget, these steps transform finances from something intimidating into a roadmap for the future.

✨ Donate & help today: $70 can provide a survivor with a financial coaching curriculum and secure budgeting software access—giving them the tools and confidence to build a foundation for lasting independence.
