ALYNIA'S HOUSE is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting victims of human trafficking and women transitioning home after incarceration. We believe in second chances, healing, and empowering individuals to reclaim their lives with dignity, safety, and hope.

Our work was inspired by a deep personal loss. Founded in loving memory of Alynia Lawrence, a bright 17-year-old whose life was tragically cut short in an area plagued by human trafficking, we carry her spirit forward in every life we touch. Alynia’s story fuels our mission: to break cycles of exploitation, restore faith in the future, and offer a pathway to new beginnings.

At the heart of our organization is CEO and Founder Zapora, an entrepreneur and former exotic dancer who turned her own lived experiences into a calling to uplift others. Zapora knows firsthand the challenges of survival, resilience, and transformation—and she brings that understanding into a movement rooted in compassion, strength, and community.

Through mentorship, advocacy, safe housing resources, job readiness programs, and emotional support, ALYNIA'S HOUSE stands with women as they navigate their journey toward independence and empowerment. We are committed to creating a world where survivors are no longer defined by their past but by the bright futures they build.

Together, we honor Alynia’s memory by transforming pain into purpose and ensuring no one has to walk their path to freedom alone.

WE ARE CURRENTLY RAISING FUNDS FOR SAFE HOUSES IN CALIFORNIA & GEORGIA. CURRENT DONATIONS ARE GOING TOWARDS EMERGENCY RELIEF FOR VICTIMS. SUCH AS FLIGHTS HOME, HOTELS, HOUSING SUPPORT, FINANCIAL EDUCATION, JOB SECURITY, REHAB, MEDICAL & CHILD SUPPORT.
