An organization outside of Hellenic Ministries that we've had opportunities to help out at is Threads of Hope, a place that helps rescued women out of trafficking and prostitution, and teaches them how to sew so they have a source of income. We helped by cutting out fabric for the ladies to make small zippered pouches and Christmas ornaments, and put tags together to go on the finished products. These tasks may seem small, but as one staff member exclaimed after one of our days there, "You ladies have saved me HOURS and HOURS of time!" She, and other staff members, are able to take those extra hours of time and invest them into the women in their program, many of whom need to continue processing through past trauma, their identity in Christ, and what financial stability through their work at Threads of Hope can mean for them and their future.
