Who We Are


In this video, Tonia Tewell shares the heart behind Holding Out HELP, what we do and why it matters.


You’ll also hear from former clients Angela Shaffer and Emily Lee, who courageously open up about their experiences growing up in polygamous communities and what life has looked like on the other side. Their stories are honest and powerful, offering a glimpse into the challenges of leaving, the reality of starting over, and what it means to rebuild.


What stands out most is how, once given the opportunity to use their strengths, both Angela and Emily have grown into resilient individuals. Their journeys are a reminder that with the right support, healing and growth are possible.


At Holding Out HELP, we have the privilege of walking alongside individuals as they pursue safety, stability, and independence—whether they are still in, transitioning out, or rebuilding their lives. We’re grateful to be a small part of stories like these.
