My name is Carmen, and together with my business partner, Sarah, I am opening Honey and Vine Studio—a photography studio with a mission to support survivors of trafficking. Our vision is to create a welcoming, open-space studio that can be rented for photography, videography, and small events. By partnering with a local anti-trafficking agency, we will provide ongoing revenue to help them serve survivors and expand their vital work.

Honey and Vine Studio exists to support survivors of trafficking and create spaces where people are loved, known, and free.

We are raising funds to cover the cost of renovations and our first year of rent. This will allow us to transform our leased space into a creative hub and begin generating profit, so we can make a meaningful difference from day one. As our business grows, we will be able to provide even more funding for the agency and, most importantly, offer employment opportunities to survivors. Employment is a crucial step in helping survivors thrive independently, and we are committed to bridging this gap in our community.

Your support will help us create a safe, empowering space for survivors and make a lasting impact in our community. Please consider donating and sharing our fundraiser to help us reach our goal. Together, we can build a brighter future for those who need it most.
