At The Worthy Co., trafficking and exploitation survivors can dream big.
Resilient. Dreamer. Leader. T*’s story is a powerful testament to resilience and transformation. Her journey with The Worthy Co. began when she attended a support group run by a non-profit, The Net, based in Fort Worth, TX. For years, The Net has walked alongside survivors of trafficking and sexual exploitation, helping them rebuild their lives. But for many survivors like T*, one critical barrier remained: finding dignified employment that could fully support their journey toward independence.
Empowering New Beginnings
Recognizing this need, The Net founded The Worthy Co in 2018 to provide survivors with more than just a job. It offered a lifeline—a chance to rebuild their lives with dignity and purpose. The Worthy Co. is a non-profit social enterprise where 100% of every purchase is reinvested into its mission to employ and empower survivors. They create and sell candles and jewelry. It is here that T* found not just employment, but a community that believed in her dreams and supported her every step of the way.
In early 2023, T* joined The Worthy Co. team as a survivor employee. Since then, she has achieved incredible milestones, including earning three promotions and starting to train new employees. These accomplishments are more than just professional successes; they are symbols of her determination to reclaim her life. T* has also secured her own vehicle, found independent housing, and even started working on her college education—achievements that mark her progress in rebuilding her life.
Beyond a Job: Reconnecting with Family
But T*’s journey is about more than just personal milestones. It’s also about the deep, emotional reconnections she’s been able to make. One of the most inspiring aspects of her story has been her fight to reconnect with her daughter, a relationship she is nurturing with the support she receives from The Worthy Co. “I’m rebuilding my life for my children and future grandchildren,” T* shares, a sentiment that captures the essence of The Worthy Co.’s mission: to offer every woman the chance to rebuild her life, no matter how challenging her past.
Transform Lives with Every Purchase
At The Worthy Co., survivors like T* are given the tools to dream again. Through a holistic job training and enrichment program, they learn new skills, work in a therapeutic environment, and most importantly, earn a dignified wage.

Each workday is dedicated to different areas of development—whether it’s learning professional skills, practicing self-care through trauma-informed yoga, or participating in nutrition classes—ensuring that survivors are supported in every aspect of their recovery.
T*’s story is just one of many that illustrate the profound impact The Worthy Co. is making in the lives of survivors. Every purchase made at The Worthy Co. directly contributes to this mission, helping women like T* move beyond their pasts and build bright, hopeful futures.
