Hope Survived Here.
Raising awareness. Protecting victims. Changing laws.
We are a survivor-led initiative dedicated to protecting victims of stalking, domestic violence, and abduction.
Founded by Samantha Stites — a Northern Michigan woman who escaped a decade-long stalking nightmare and survived a harrowing kidnapping — we advocate for policy change, survivor support, and public education.
For over a decade, Samantha Stites was stalked by a man she barely knew. Despite her efforts to protect herself through legal channels, her requests were denied. In October 2022, she was abducted and hidden in a makeshift bunker.
She used her mental health training and strength to escape — and now speaks out to change the laws that failed her.
