A Light for Sexual Assault Survivors

Every day in Acadiana, children and adults are living with the trauma of sexual violence. Too many are left believing they’re alone, silenced by fear and shame.

But there is a place where they are seen, heard, and believed. Hearts of Hope is Acadiana’s only sexual trauma center, providing care that is free, confidential, and available 24/7. From forensic exams and crisis advocacy to counseling and long-term support, we walk with survivors from their first call through their last step of healing.

Your support makes this possible. When you give, you keep the doors open. You ensure there’s a nurse in the room when evidence needs to be collected with dignity. You provide a counselor when nightmares won’t let a child sleep. You send an advocate to stand beside a survivor in court so they never have to face justice alone.

This is where your bid, your donation, your action today becomes hope. Together, we can build a community where every survivor knows: you are not alone, and healing is possible.
