A Place Where Dignity Is Restored and Healing Can Occur
This summer, The O’Connell House proudly joined The Home for Little Wanderers, bringing together two organizations with a shared commitment to helping children and families thrive. The O’Connell House’s mission remains unchanged—providing a safe, supportive home for young women who are survivors of human trafficking, including those who are pregnant or parenting.
Through trauma-informed care and comprehensive services, the program helps mothers and their children remain together while building stability, independence, and a path toward a brighter future.
