Help Aaron Escape the 12 Tribes Cult and Rebuild His Life

My name is Rose, and I’m reaching out with an urgent plea for help for my 18-year-old brother, Aaron. After a lifetime of abuse and isolation, Aaron has just escaped the 12 Tribes cult — a dangerous and controlling religious group known for subjecting its members to physical punishment, emotional abuse, and complete disconnection from the outside world.

Aaron spent his entire childhood and adolescence trapped in this cult, denied basic education, healthcare, and any form of personal freedom. He was raised in an environment of fear and control, where love and compassion were replaced with strict rules, punishment, and manipulation. For years, he believed he was living in the only way he was allowed to.

But now, Aaron is free — and he needs our help to heal and rebuild his life from the ground up.

What Aaron needs:

Medical Care: After years of neglect, Aaron needs urgent medical attention. He hasn’t had access to proper healthcare, and is in desperate need of dental care, eye care (including contacts), and a general health check-up. His body and mind have been through so much, and he’s starting his healing process now.

A Phone: Aaron doesn’t have a phone, making it almost impossible for him to contact the outside world, look for work, or start connecting with people who can help him. A phone would be a lifeline for him as he begins his new life.

A Car: To gain independence and be able to find work, Aaron needs a car. Without one, his ability to start over is limited, and he needs this essential tool to move forward.

Everyday Essentials: Aaron also needs help with food, toiletries, and other basics as he begins this fresh start. These are things he was denied for most of his life.

Aaron is only 18, and he has spent the first years of his life locked in a cult, unable to experience the freedom that many of us take for granted. The trauma he’s endured — both physical and emotional — has left deep scars, but with your support, Aaron can begin to heal. He is ready to experience life, make choices for himself, and finally find happiness.

The journey ahead will be long, but every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference in Aaron’s road to recovery. Please consider donating, and if you can, share this page with your network. Your kindness will give Aaron the chance to live the life he deserves — a life free from fear, abuse, and isolation.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping Aaron get the fresh start he so desperately needs.

With gratitude,
