"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!
I was excited to get this size candle because I love the heavy vessel it comes in, and Oak Moss & Amber is my favorite Calyan fragrance. I have burned MANY Calyan candles, and love them. But this size specifically had several issues while burning. I never got an even burn, wax was left on the sides. Even after 4 hours of burn time, it still struggled. It took me 3 times of 4 hour burning, and pushing wax off the sides, to finally get my burn even. I bought 2, but have only burned 1, so maybe it was a dud. But going forward, I will stick to the regular 3 wick or the 2 wick size.
Sweet and vibrant, this candle is the perfect summer scent! I hope it comes back every year!
Thank you for your review! We are so glad to hear that our Watermelon + Prickly Pear was a hit for you. We also love it is perfect for the summer and currently plan on bringing it back next year!
I bought this candle on vacation in Colorado and absolutely loved it. Made it a point to see if they had online sales and I'm so happy they do! Stocked up on a few. The scent is incredible. Light yet earthy and very unique.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that we are in your all time favorites! Happy that you were able to find us online too! We appreciate your support and hope you continue to enjoy our candles!
I was hoping the scent would not be too "watermelonish," and of course it is not because Calyan always strikes the perfect balance. I gave two of these as gifts and I think I brought new fans to your fold.
Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you love the scent and that it exceeded your expectations. Watermelon has been a hit!
I’ve placed several rather large orders and have been pleased with each and every one. Great products and superb customer service.
Thank you for your kind words and continued support! We're happy to hear that you have been pleased with our candle and customer service! We appreciate the review and look forward to serving you again in the future. Have a wonderful day!
The Scent Discovery Kit is such a great idea! I'd purchased a few holiday candles that I loved, but was having trouble deciding on some new scents for summer (I am deeply indecisive), so this was the perfect way to test them out before buying a full-size candle! And it's been fun to light a new candle every day. Definitely recommend this kit!
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Scent Discovery Kit! We are so glad to hear that it was helpful for you in choosing new summer scents. We love the idea of trying out different candles every day - it's like a mini spa experience at home!
