We’re grateful to everyone who joined Eden’s Farm for “From Awareness to Accountability: A Symposium on Human Trafficking.” It was a meaningful day of learning, conversation, and connection around how we can better support survivors and strengthen our community’s response to human trafficking.

A heartfelt thank-you to the University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work and Dean Dr. Kyaien O. Conner for being such gracious hosts and welcoming this important conversation into your space.

Thank you to Summer Carroll and Jim Hindinger from the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General for sharing your expertise in human trafficking investigations and prosecution, and to Dr. Rachel Seamans for helping us deepen our understanding of trauma and its impact on survivors.

To our panelists, staff, and everyone who attended—thank you for bringing your experience, thoughtful questions, and willingness to learn from one another. Moving from awareness to accountability takes all of us, with survivors’ voices, choices, and needs at the center of our work. 💛

A full-circle moment for Eden’s Farm. 💙

We were grateful for the opportunity to train nursing students at Duquesne University on human trafficking and the role nurses can play in recognizing and supporting those impacted.

Thank you to the nursing department for making human trafficking education a priority and creating space for these conversations with future nurses.

For our founder, Annalisa Gibbs, who is also an emergency department nurse, this opportunity holds special meaning—bringing together her work at the bedside and her commitment to survivors through Eden’s Farm.

We’re grateful to help prepare the next generation of nurses to respond with compassion, knowledge, and survivor-centered care.

Meet the women behind Eden’s Farm. ✨

We’re kinda chic fighting for survivors, building programs, writing grants, connecting people to resources, keeping our drop-in center welcoming, and making sure every survivor who walks through our doors feels seen, heard, and supported.

But behind the trend is a team doing very real work every day:

Annalisa Gibbs RN — Founder & Executive Director
Kyla Christensen LSW — Director of Programs
Mairead Stewart LSW — Development & Social Services Team Lead
Meredith Gutierrez — Drop-In Center Coordinator
Sara Nevels — Peer Support Specialist

Different roles. Different strengths. One shared commitment to building a world where survivors are met with dignity, relationship, and real support.

We’re Eden’s Farm—and yes, we’re kinda chic. 🤍

Today is World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.

This day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2013 and is observed every year on July 30. It was created to raise awareness about human trafficking and to promote the rights and protection of those impacted by exploitation.

The 2026 theme is “Trapped Behind the Scam,” highlighting the growing reality of trafficking connected to forced online scamming and financial fraud.

At Eden’s Farm, we know that trafficking continues to evolve, and our response must continue to meet people where they are.

This work is not just one day on the calendar. It is daily, relational, and deeply personal. It looks like case management, survivor employment, therapy, transportation, advocacy, holistic care, and having a safe place to turn when someone is ready for support.

Today, we honor survivors, raise awareness, and recommit ourselves to building a community where people are met with dignity, safety, and long-term support.

Learn more. Share. Show up.

Our 2025 Impact Report is here. 💛

This report reflects a year of growth, persistence, survivor-centered care, and community showing up.

In 2025, Eden’s Farm provided 1,500+ hours of direct services, reached and trained 1,000+ community members, continued growing our Justice Enterprise, and supported survivors through relational case management, basic needs, workforce development, holistic care, and community.

Behind every number is a person, a story, and a step toward safety, stability, and opportunity.

As you read the report, we also invite you to support our Bridge the Gap Campaign. We are currently raising funds to help keep our doors open, sustain survivor employment, provide direct services, and remain responsive while pending grants move through review.

If you are able, please consider making a donation. There is also a section on the campaign page where you can leave an encouraging message—and those words truly matter. A note of support can remind survivors, staff, and our whole community that we are not doing this work alone.

Read the report. Make a gift. Leave a message of encouragement. Help us continue building a community rooted in dignity, healing, and hope.

Pittsburgh is known as the City of Bridges.

https://kindest.com/771467-bridge-the-gap-30-000-for-survivor-support

At Eden’s Farm, we believe survivors should not have to navigate the distance between crisis and stability alone.

Right now, we are working to raise $30,000 through our Bridge the Gap Campaign while several grant applications and funding opportunities move through review.

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 served nearly three years ago.

Your gift helps keep our doors open, sustain survivor employment, provide case management and basic-needs support, offer therapy and holistic care, and make sure someone has a safe place to turn when they reach out for help.

In a city built on bridges, help us build one more:

A bridge from crisis to stability.
From isolation to community.
From surviving to moving forward.

Become a Bridge Partner today.

Every gift matters—whether it is $10, $25, $50, or more.
