Your Compassion Makes a Difference!

You’re creating a brighter future for the countless women that RPOR serves! Since opening, We have had 1,042 women walk through our doors over 18,352 times. We have built trusting relationships with many of these women giving them hope for a future they can’t even imagine. We love them right where they are, unconditionally.

On April 11, over 270 friends of RPOR came together at Bourgmont Winery to Bring Awareness and Share Hope. Thanks to our sponsors, donors, and guests, we raised almost 110,000! Enough to fund the Drop-in-Center for over 6 months…praise be to GOD ABOVE! Click below to watch the highlight recap video.

Your ongoing monthly support creates a stable and reliable income stream, enabling us to concentrate on bringing hope to women who need it most.
As a Lifeline of Hope Partner, you offer a lifeline to women who are often forgotten. Your consistent monthly donations ensure access to hot showers for every woman wishing to wash off the fight for survival; provide warmth from the bitter cold of winter and relief from the heat of the summer sun; and a safe, secure space from predators.
Ultimately, Lifeline of Hope Partners empower us to deliver lasting, sustainable programs building a solid foundation for these women to thrive beyond their past traumas.

Our RPOR Drop-in Center currently operates for just 20 hours each week. Unfortunately, when we close our doors each day, many women are left to face the harsh realities of the cold streets. The cycle of sex trafficking is incredibly complex, and addressing various needs is essential for these women to achieve true healing. By establishing a crisis stabilization home with the capacity to accommodate 16 women, we will be able to offer comprehensive care that includes medical, legal, therapy services, and more. Our mission is to break the cycle of abuse and foster HOPE, RESTORATION, and FREEDOM!

We continue to let God set the pace on the renovations of the building. Funding for the renovations will come in His timing. I pray regularly about funding and God’s response has overwhelmingly been “you need a foundation.” I don’t believe this to be a literal foundation. I believe it to be a funding foundation. We need committed one time or monthly donors to help us build a stable financial foundation. The renovations will take at least a year so we have time to build our financial foundation.
As for funding for the renovations, we are applying for grants and still have $1.8 million in Missouri tax credits. This can be a cash donation made by either a business who pays Missouri taxes or an individual who is invested in a business who pays Missouri taxes. As a business, you can also donate material and labor for tax credits. For instance, if you own a plumbing business and want to donate materials and labor for installation, you can get a 55% tax credit. We will continue to walk through the doors God open for us and trust Him.

“There’s only one place in KC for me and women like me. Beautiful queens with tarnished and distrustful views of people. A place where we can be exactly who we are. We don’t need to feel shame or guilt. No armor suits are required. That place is RPOR. The staff, the camaraderie, the love, the hugs, and laughter bring me LIFE when I feel like I am dying! RPOR feeds my soul when it’s hungry. RPOR provides a staircase to elevate my spirits. RPOR is HOME to me. My heart beats with pure, untainted love for the program. I honestly don’t know what I would do if RPOR failed to exist.”
