History & Need

The vision of Safe Passage, a division of Women Crowned In Glory began ten years ago from the giving spirit of Trish Steele. A woman of integrity and compassion, Mrs. Steele allied her friends and supporters together to create a Non-Profit 501(C)3 Corporation to shelter, educate, equip and direct women and their children to safety and survival of domestic violence.

Since 1992, more than 1200 women and their children have come to Safe Passage looking for shelter and support. Emergency shelter had been provided through the home of Mr. & Mrs. Jim Steele for five years. During 2001-2003 the Safe Passage Home oversaw the first transitional home in Sherman Oaks. The City of Los Angeles awarded Mrs. Steele with a “Certificate of Appreciation” by Council Member Wendy Greuel for her outstanding citizenship and activities enhancing community betterment. The women and children of the families in the home made great personal strides and re-established themselves into their own homes, new jobs, and new life within 3 months of services.

Under the leadership of our CEO Trish Steele and the Board of Directors, we have worked diligently to establish a “Wellness Center” in the Los Angeles area. Trish Steele, author, model, beauty consultant and spokeswoman, has brought great awareness to the issue of domestic violence. She is a great example of how an abused woman can be restored and start a new life of success.

Our biggest need is to secure an 2000 sq. ft. building for a Wellness Center so we may service 60 to 100 abused women a year, equipping them with a new look, job, and new residences of their own. We have outgrown our office space and in order to receive more supplies, clothing and furniture for these women and children we need a larger facility.

We operate a first class organization that has develop a team of experts such as doctors, dentist, life coaches, beauty consultants, therapists, interior decorators and more professionals donating their time and services to your women and children in need. The Wellness Center will allow us to do all our transformations in one location, saving us time and extra costs.  You have a opportunity to be a part of this wonderful work and vision; join us as we change one life at a time…
