Very excited to see the registration jumping up every day. Indigenous groups, Police officers, Probation officers, victim services caseworkers and shelter workers from across Ontario and Alberta are signing up for our upcoming Trauma Recovery workshop. The content has been tested for over 2 years and has been highly rated by frontline workers.

This workshop isn't just a professional development workshop; it will also strongly support your mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. (I got that from a review:-)

Revolving Door will tackle the science behind how one becomes a victim, how they stay in the never-ending cycle, how we can all support them while they are living in a Revolving door, and what we can do to help them break the cycle with absolutely little or no funding available as frontline workers.

The workshop will be deliberately hosted at a beautiful Muskoka-feel venue with large windows to Nature and a lake.

This is not just a workshop; it is a place where like-minded frontline workers will come together and find ways to inspire each other, learn, and heaven forbid, get some rest and enjoy the surroundings and themselves for a minute :-)

Not to mention the all-day Mediterranean buffet snack table prepared by a local celebrity chef to spoil you all rotten:-)

It is called the trauma-informed workshop information package.

To say the party was a success is an understatement. More detailed updates will come in a couple of days, but for now, here are a few pictures. Thank you all so much for coming out to support.
MUCH LOVE TO YOU ALL

Our first annual Thrift Party in Huntsville, Muskoka, happening tomorrow is the definition of supporting local!

We expected around 50 registrations.
So far, 175 people have registered, and we believe about 200 people may attend.
Behind the scenes, this event has been built by:
• 14 volunteers
• 120 hours of combined labour
• $680 in Facebook/Meta advertising
• $210 in flyers and word-of-mouth promotion
But the impact goes far beyond attendance.
This event helps support local businesses and community partners, including:
• 2 local bakeries
• 2 individuals hired for part-time contract work
• A local printer
• A local venue rental
• A local AV system rental
• A local grocery store for food and drinks
• A local flower shop for fall decor
• A local antique shop for DIY signs made from local antique finds
• A local hardware shop for tools and paint used on the DIY signs
And the community impact doesn’t stop there.
If even 70% of attendees show up and each person brings 2 bags of donations, we could collect as many as 11,200 clothing items, keeping them out of landfills and giving them a second life in someone else’s closet.
This is what community looks like:
People showing up, local businesses benefiting, volunteers giving their time, and usable clothing staying in circulation instead of going to waste.
One event.
Many hands.
Real local impact.

We are excited to see those who registered:-).

Thanks to the incredible support of our community, the turnout for Muskoka’s biggest thrift party has exceeded our expectations!
(This Sunday, 1-4pm, Active Living Centre, Huntsville.)

To help make your arrival easier, if you are bringing more than two bags of donations, please drive to the front entrance of the Active Living Centre. (Please don't block fire routes and wheelchair parking spots)

Our volunteers will help unload your donations onto a cart and stay with them while you park your vehicle.
Thank you for helping us keep the drop-off process smooth and efficient!

We are extremely excited to see you, and we thank everyone who is coming out to support Canadian victims of human trafficking and vulnerable youth.

No rest for the wicked as they say ;-)

It is official. I am officially a volunteer crisis responder (again) 🥰
What an honor to join a such an incredible people and organization at Muskoka Victim Services ❤️
I have completed the training (again) because a lot has changed since I was on front lines in Canada. And while I can't start ride away due to some pre-booked commitments I am very excited to dive in next week.

We had an amazing volunteer orientation night last night for our upcoming Thrift Party!
I forgot to take pictures, so I recreated some with AI.
But the point is, we had an amazing turnout. I am truly and deeply grateful for our amazing friends, neighbours, and volunteers who came and will lend a hand, their expertise and their hearts to our cause and big day this coming Sunday!
Thrifting Queens, the countdown is officially on! 😄❤️

We hope for a great turnout and are excited to find ways to support Victim Services of Muskoka and Family Connexions from the proceeds.

Did you know that, based on 2012 statistics, 92% of individuals served by Police and Victim Services were repeat clients?
This reflects the “trauma loop”—cycles of complex trauma, poverty, violence, and limited resources that can affect individuals and families across generations.

As one former CAS worker told me, “We also serve the trauma loop.”

That insight inspired Revolving Door, a two-day workshop exploring trauma-informed support, crisis response, survivor perspectives, practical tools, and burnout prevention.

Revolving Door is a two-day workshop designed for frontline workers working with
Victims of Human Trafficking, Indigenous victims of crime, Individuals living with complex trauma, Intimate partner violence and more.
The workshop will take a deep dive into:

• The mindset and behaviours shaped by complex and generational trauma
• The survivor perspective and the science behind trauma responses
• Practical approaches for crisis intervention and ongoing case management
• Real-life scenarios and role-plays
• Supporting individuals when resources are limited or unavailable
• Recognizing the impact of our work
• Preventing burnout and staying connected to purpose

At a time when housing costs are rising, funding is limited, and many communities are facing overwhelming demand, the need for informed, compassionate, and sustainable support has never been greater.

This workshop is for those who serve people navigating the revolving door—and for anyone who wants to better understand how we can help interrupt the cycle.

35% sold out. Check out the full schedule and register here:

Today, I’m quietly reflecting on 12 years as an advocate-turned-entrepreneur (but still an advocate)
Twelve years ago, we made the difficult decision to close our safe house and mobile crisis unit, bringing Walk With Me to an end. I began researching social enterprise, learning from mentors, and building a new path.

Timea’s Cause Inc. was born out of necessity, with the hope of one day bringing back a safe house or supporting others doing this work. The journey has not been easy, but I’m deeply grateful for how far we’ve come.

I could not have done it without our incredible mentors, supporters, advisers, teachers, and team, and, of course, our amazing supporters who have been shopping with us online and in our retail stores. THANK YOU.

And after 19 years of speaking publicly as a survivor of human trafficking, it felt special to be interviewed as an entrepreneur. The segment aired last night on CTV News Barrie while I was working—but thankfully, my dog’s sitter sent me this photo.

Happy anniversary to Timea’s Cause Inc., Timea’s Market, Timea's Thrift and everyone who helped us get here. You know who you are. 🥰
