What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Trauma is the primary underlying factor that causes or perpetuates societal issues like addiction, unemployment, fractured relationships, and maladaptive behaviors. We believe healing begins when trauma is identified and addressed, and when meaningful relationships are made.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our goal is to help survivors of human trafficking experience freedom and realize their true worth, and to empower them in economic self-sufficiency.

The road to healing requires a comprehensive response. It's not enough to offer a single solution, which is why Worthwhile Wear first engages survivors where they are, in our communities, then offers long-term stability, and finally provides them with opportunities for financial independence.

At graduation, we aim to set survivors up for the most success by having addressed the following key issues:

T R A U M A
Connected with counselor/therapist
Local AA, NA groups identified
Ongoing case management
Full "toolbox" for managing past trauma
Addressed physical and mental health needs

H O U SI N G
Affordable apartment Transportation
Experience living independently

F I N A N C I A L I N D E P E N D E N C E
$10,000 in savings account
Employed in a job that pays a livable wage
Health insurance provided through employer

Worthwhile Wear consistently meets our goals in restoring women affected y human trafficking that have graduated our programs. We stay in close contact with those that do, and continue to offer up to six months of case management services (even to those whom do not graduate our programs). We are proud to say today that we provide the most comprehensive services to survivors of human trafficking in Pennsylvania.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Executive Director

Mr. Daniel Emr Sr.

I grew up in Ukraine in a missionary family and served as the chair of the Board of Directors for Liberty Ministries, a prison outreach ministry. My interest in helping survivors of modern day slavery started back in 2010 when a young couple came to my church and shared their involvement with girls in the sex slave trade. Along with my wife and family, I've committed my life to helping survivors rebuild their lives.
