It’s Going To Be Ok, Inc. (IGTBOK) was established to prevent, rescue, and restore victims of human and sex trafficking in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and beyond. Founded in the summer of 2014 by Tonya Stafford, a survivor of human trafficking, IGTBOK has been a beacon of hope for countless individuals. In 2015, Tonya's advocacy played a pivotal role in the creation of House Bill 2290, which designated January as Human Trafficking Prevention Month in the State of Texas. This bill was designed to raise awareness and inform the public about human trafficking, encouraging both individuals and organizations to collaborate with state leaders to bring an end to this atrocity.
IGTBOK operates a Human Trafficking Safe House, a secure and undisclosed location in the Dallas Metroplex area. This safe and structured home environment is tailored to meet the unique needs of trafficking survivors, offering a place where they can rediscover hope, receive unconditional love, and find the strength to dream again.
As a survivor-led, trauma-informed, and trauma-centered organization, IGTBOK provides essential housing assistance and victim-centered care. Our holistic services include counseling, education, job readiness, outreach, prevention, recovery, stabilization, and healing. We are committed to serving high-risk young adults, women, and their children, offering them the support and resources they need to rebuild their lives.
The mission of It's Going To Be OK Inc. is to seek to create a just world where girls, women, children, and all vulnerable adults are safe, respected, and valued.
It’s Going To Be Ok, Inc. (IGTBOK) is in critical need of funding to support our general operations and expand our impact. We are seeking financial assistance not only to procure more housing(Sarah's Villiage a complex that will house up to 40 women and children) but also to cover the standard operating costs of the complex, as well as our current home. This support is essential to alleviating all financial burdens from our program participants as they work to rebuild their lives.
The funds will be directly invested in supporting, developing, expanding, and strengthening the programs we already have in place for victims of human trafficking. Your contribution will enable us to continue providing safe housing, comprehensive care, and the vital resources needed to help survivors heal and thrive.
We are a value-driven organization, deeply committed to embodying those values in how we treat each other and the clients we serve. Recent tragedies and deaths have starkly highlighted the racial injustice and inequality faced by Black Americans, including Black human trafficking victims. These events serve as a powerful reminder of the urgent need to confront racism and bias globally, in every community and nation where we live and work. Barriers that individuals face based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, identity, and beliefs must be actively challenged and dismantled. We serve everyone regardless of race! We pride ourselves in this.
