"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?
Founded in 2009, Traffick911 exists to free youth from sex trafficking with a three-prong strategy of prevention, identification and empowerment.
Traffick911 has identified and/or assisted hundreds of survivors! Their work – in close partnership with law enforcement – has led to multiple state and federal felony arrests and convictions.
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.

Lots of companies will say they donate but then don't showcase their donations. This makes us wonder if the donations actually happen. We don't want to operate like that.
We want you to see every dollar we donate so that you can celebrate with us AND hold us accountable to our mission!
We promise to showcase every donation so you know your candle purchase is making an impact!
This is always the scent I go for! So rich and warm. This is the only brand of candles I buy. So clean and even burning! Bonus they contribute to fighting human trafficking ❤️
I was gifted a mini pumpkin spice candle from one of our clients who purchased a Huntington Home/Highland Homes in Mustang Lakes. I have never been so impressed with the smell or the many hours this little jewel has filled my own home with such an awesome authentic scent! Truly amazing! Can’t wait to purchase & try your plethora of other tantalizing scents! Blessings to y’all on your Godly Christian mission! Count me in as a new lifelong customer! Kudos!!!
What a great idea at a terrific price for those of us who don't have access to calyan candles except on the internet. The smells from these candles are so much better, authentic and subtle than candles on the mass market. Candles on the mass market flood you with artificial smells that overpower you with their cheap, cloying smells. When you walk into a room with a lit Calyan candle, you are met with gentle notes that haunt your memory.
Glad you were able to find some that you really enjoy! Thanks for the kind words.
Thank you for your kind review! We are delighted to hear that you are loving our Rose + Peony Glass! We totally understand your obsession with the scent. It's a shop favorite!
yall went above and beyond on my order, and really made my moms whole month by sending us an extra little candle free of charge! As soon as we pay off our debt we’re ordering more fall and christmas scents. Thank you so much Calyan!!!!
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review! We are thrilled to hear that you and your mom are enjoying the Pineapple + Coconut. We always strive to go above and beyond for our customers and we are so glad that we could make your experience with us even better! Thank you for choosing Calyan and for supporting our mission to make a positive impact!
I am a candle fanatic and there are hardly any brands I have not tried. Calyan is most definitely the best home candles out there. They burn SO cleanly, wax melts completely, and the fragrances are very high end and natural; no perfumey fake smells. The company is to be admired, with real customer service. Grapefruit Flora is a favorite of mine but there are certainly others.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoy our candles and appreciate the clean burn. Your support means the world to us!
