Jessica Evans
Allies.org
Allies founder, Jessica Evans, was introduced to the reality of sex trafficking through survivors she met in Nepal in 2007. After returning home to Indiana, she was deeply moved and desired to take action. She prayed that God would show her how she could make a difference in the lives of those who were victims of human trafficking.
The following fall, God gave her a vision to educate people and to raise awareness for human trafficking and the sex slave industry. She invited others to join her, and within a few months they organized a benefit concert, called Purchased.
Over the next two years, the team pushed into their vision even more to see how awareness of these issues could be raised to a higher level.
While attending a conference in 2010, Jessica felt led to establish a more permanent movement here in Indianapolis. By 2011, this movement became an official 501(c)(3) non-profit organization called Purchased.
Over the past 10+ years, the team has not only reached thousands of Hoosiers with awareness education on human trafficking, but reached hundreds of at-risk girls with prevention education, paired young, female survivors of trafficking and exploitation with a mentor, created a support program for parents and guardians, and began a job training program for mentees. Next, the impact will be multiplied as services expand across the state.
In 2021, the organization celebrated 10 years as a non-profit and changed its name to Allies to better reflect the mission of the organization.
Thank you for being part of the Allies story and making a difference in the lives of survivors of trafficking and exploitation!

Title: How to be a Friend 101: Relationship-Informed Approach to Working with Others
​
Description: As innovators in the field of mentoring for survivors of trafficking, Allies has seen firsthand how the support of positive, consistent mentoring relationships has empowered youth to flourish. What surprised us was that as we utilized research-based approaches to our mentoring, our personal relationships also benefited! In this interactive workshop, participants will discover how personal values, self-care practices, and worldviews play a vital role in showing up well for those in our lives. Participants will also gain new resources, tools, and practical strategies for fostering healthy relationships by utilizing the Search Institute’s Developmental Relationships Framework.

The History
Top Floor Women began in 2017 when Mindi Epstein had the vision to unite women on the south side of Indianapolis to network and develop personally and professionally. Since Mindi was an established business owner in Franklin, IN, she collaborated with the owners of "The Elevator" on the town square in Franklin, IN, on their TOP FLOOR. Top Floor Women became a popular monthly networking event that brings women from central Indiana together to meet, share, and connect. Mindi's vision is carried on:
​
​Melahni Ake, founder and president of Everyday Leaders, is continuing the momentum to serve women in our community. We welcome you to join us on the first Wednesday of every month to learn, grow, and make meaningful connections that can impact your life.
