Testimonials
Jane NelsonWith the addition of Bob’s House of Hope, the ranch will give hope to even more people who have been living through highly destructive cycles of abuse and slavery. As Bob said, if we don’t provide shelter for victims of sex trafficking, their abusers are extremely likely to find them, and bring them back into the trade.
Texas State Senator
Mrs. Ruta LeeWe think about sexploitation as something that happens somewhere else in another country far away from us, but it’s of epidemic proportions right here in the United States. Ranch Hands Rescue is a miraculous place that takes maimed, injured, abused animals, heals them, and brings in through experts and their care, young people who come in and bond with these abused animals. Abused children bonding with abused animals has been a light that has shone on mental illness and emotional difficulties.
Venerable Actress
Tracy MurphreeNow that I have learned from Bob about the sex trafficking of boys, I often wonder how many of these young men I have overlooked during my 30 years in law enforcement not knowing they were victims. It breaks my heart. I am proud that we now have a place for them in my home.
Denton County Sheriff
Pamela GutierrezI know firsthand the difference that Ranch Hands Rescue is making in the community and I have no doubt that they will be an able and effective steward of the program. RHR has consistently demonstrated the ability to provide professional and compassionate services to individuals who have experienced the most traumatic events. Simply put, RHR has a reputation for excellence in trauma-informed care and services and is well known and respected through Denton County and across the State of Texas.
Executive Director of Denton County MHMR Center
Paul JohnsonWhen I first met Bob, I was so impressed with his organization where he takes abused and neglected animals and refurbishes them and uses them for children that have been abused and neglected. It takes a special person to have that type of vision and I really respect him for that. He changes people’s lives, and it’s not just with kids, but also veterans and other individuals.
District Attorney
Harry HamlinBob Williams, my new hero, has launched Bob’s House of Hope, the only safe house in America for abused boys between 17 and 24, who are somehow dragged into the sex trade. […] Please do whatever you can to help Bob build his dream house, Bob’s House of Hope.
Actor and Activist
Jose AlfaroBack then, I was dealing with PTSD and literally felt like I was going to die from the anxiety and the panic attacks that I was having. I knew I was going to end up dead from overdosing, wind up in the hands of someone else that was going to murder me, or I was going to commit suicide. I didn’t know which one it was going to be, but I knew eventually I was going to give up.
When I look at a place like Bob’s House of Hope, I see the old version of myself who was crying and begging for a place like Bob’s House of Hope.
Lived Experience Expert
Tony CasillasThe relationship and bond between animals and people is amazing. I read that kids who have been through abuse feel more comfortable telling their problems to animals, so it’s a win-win situation. I know that these times are tough, but I’m asking you to support this organization and give as much as you can.
Football Legend
Lt. Col Allen WestOne of the problems that we have here in Texas is that we are the number one state in the United States of America for human and sex trafficking. It’s something that we have to rectify. I think that this is something, that regardless of your political affiliation, we can join hands and make sure we end human and sex trafficking and support Ranch Hands Rescue.
Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas
Representative Tan ParkerPrograms at Ranch Hands Rescue and Bob’s House of Hope provide healing from the horrific pain and mental anguish endured as victims. Forced drug addiction, complex medical challenges, legal trouble, educational deficits, and a host of other issues, are just some of the devastating challenges they face. Instead of falling into an endless cycle of dependency and despair, Bob’s House of Hope is teaching life skills and providing counseling to give these young Texans a renewed life. The transformation that is taking place at Ranch Hands Rescue and Bob’s House of Hope is miraculous and restores the goodness our community is built upon.
