The Safe Haven Campaign is our commitment to helping trauma survivors transition into stability through healing spaces, business coaching, and personal development—powered by our clients, supporters, and the Bruises to Business brand.

Many survivors of domestic violence face a critical shortage of safe, stable housing options after leaving abusive situations. Traditional shelters often provide only temporary relief, lacking the supportive environment needed for long-term healing. Our Safe Haven Homes offer trauma-informed, nurturing spaces designed to empower survivors as they rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

Safe and comforting spaces for children to grow and play.

Access to caring professionals, personalized support, and essential resources.

Kitchens and outdoor areas that encourage connection and healing.

Compassionate care tailored to each survivor’s unique needs.

Currently in the build-out phase, working hard to open our doors by 2026.

Alexis Smalls' Message

I never imagined that my deepest wounds would one day inspire the creation of a place where others could find healing too. For years, I lived in survival mode—battling addiction, enduring an abusive marriage, and struggling with bipolar type 2, all while feeling torn between my faith and my mental health. But God met me in my brokenness and showed me that healing was possible—not just spiritually, but emotionally and mentally as well. Build the Haven is more than a fundraiser; it’s a mission to create a safe, trauma-informed home for survivors to rebuild their lives with dignity and support. I know there are so many others who feel stuck, believing they will never break free from their trauma. This initiative is about hope, healing, and a community that says, “You are not alone.” If my story can help even one person find the courage to heal, then every battle I’ve fought has been worth it.
