"THANK YOU FOR LOOKING ME IN THE EYE AND TELLING ME I'M WORTH IT"
- Survivor served by Traffick911
WHO IS TRAFFICK911 and what do they do?
Simply put, Traffick911 is the first responder for child sex trafficking in North Texas. Just like firefighters show up to fires, Traffick911 shows up when a trafficked child is recovered.
Traffick911 has identified and/or assisted thousands of survivors! Their sole purpose is to free youth from sex trafficking by building trust-based relationships.
Traffick911's Voice & Choice Advocate Program
When a first responder encounters a sex trafficking victim in need of emergency services, they can call Traffick911 for 24-hour crisis response. A team member from Traffick911 will arrive and provide immediate aid to the survivor and start working on a case management plan to help them get back on their feet.
But that's not all. Once the survivor is stabilized, they will be paired up with a seasoned advocate (kind of like a mentor) who will be there for them every step of the way. This person will provide emotional support, help the survivor navigate the complex legal system, and connect them with all the resources they need to heal and rebuild their life.
And get this - Traffick911 doesn't work alone. They collaborate closely with regional multi-disciplinary teams to ensure that each victim gets the individualized support they need. It's a true team effort, and we're honored to support them in their mission to end trafficking and help survivors.
Jacob founded Calyan in 2017 with a strong desire to make a difference in the fight against human trafficking. He knew that the issue was complex and widespread, and he wanted to find a way to contribute meaningfully.
As he researched different organizations to support, Jacob was looking for more than just a good cause. He wanted to partner with a nonprofit that had a strategic approach and a team of dedicated individuals who shared his passion for helping survivors of trafficking.
One day, Jacob attended a Traffick911 volunteer training and was blown away by the organization's commitment and effectiveness. He was impressed by the professionalism of the staff and volunteers, and their deep understanding of the complex issues surrounding trafficking.
It was at that moment that Jacob knew he had found the right partner for Calyan. He was excited to support Traffick911's mission and work alongside them to combat trafficking and support survivors.
Today, Calyan is proud to partner with Traffick911 and support their vital work in the fight against human trafficking. We are committed to working together to make a difference and help end this horrific crime once and for all.

Caylan Candles - Apple Maple Bourban and pumpkin spice
Candles are incredible! Fragrances are rich and these are my go to candles year round though at Christmas I get the fir candles which are like having fresh trees in my home! They also support justice against human trafficking which led me to start buying candles from them! Totally recommend to everyone!

I've been ordering from Calyan for months. I stumbled onto their candles in a little shop - and since then have been ordering from their website/visiting their corporate store right down the road from me. Aspen & Fog, Lavender & Bergamot, and Cedar & Tobacco have become my go-to favorites. Their candles manage to be feminine, yet masculine - all at the same time. And my husband loves them. Not to mention, I've given several away as gifts. I'm not sure how they do it, but they are the only candle brand I buy from now.
What a fantastic review, Brittany! We're honored that you would speak so highly of our candles. Really happy to hear that you and your husband are enjoying them.
Reach out if you ever need anything! Hope to see you at the candle shop soon!
I will burn this candle no matter what the season, all year round. It really is hard to put into words how this scent makes me feel! Maybe like “I’m home”…..it’s quite comforting yet elevating. Please keep making this scent forever!
Some search for that perfect candle in our crazy adulthood and a few of us get lucky enough to find it. This Evergreen and Eucalyptus....my dreams have come true! This IS my perfect candle. I'll be honest and say that seeing the 2 scents combined isn't what drew me in. I simply picked it up at one of my best friends in the world's store (Summer Sundays if you're in San Antonio, Tx), saw the scent, inhaled a scent straight from heaven's gate, and was BLOWN away! Like, what?! Eucalyptus is one of my favorite smells in the world..top 2, right under lavender. Evergreen? Not so much by itself. The combo? Never have I ever smelled something so deserving of the word perfect. I'm a forever fan and this concludes my journey of my search for the candle that lights my fire. On top of all that, this company stands for and supports something that means a whole heck of a lot. Amazing!
Michelle, this may be the best review we have ever received for this Evergreen + Eucalyptus candle (or any candle for that matter)! Wow, I don't know what to say.
So happy to hear this candle has become a new favorite for you. And thanks for taking the time to share about your experience! I'm going to share your feedback with our team to encourage them!
Thanks for all your support! And thanks for giving hope with us.
