Brittney and Erin were more than sisters—they were each other’s lifelines. From childhood, their bond was forged in resilience, shaped by shared experiences and a deep understanding of the world’s complexities. As they grew, their paths revealed the harsh realities faced by countless individuals navigating trauma, injustice, and isolation. These experiences weren’t just formative—they were transformative.
Time and again, Brittney and Erin encountered stories that echoed a common refrain: survivors didn’t just need immediate help—they needed a community. A place where they felt seen, heard, and protected. A space that offered not only empathy, but empowerment. Yet the support systems they witnessed were often fragmented. Some offered legal aid but lacked emotional care. Others had compassionate providers but no infrastructure to handle complex needs. The sisters saw the gaps—and the pain those gaps created.
What people needed was a bridge. A secure, private space that could connect them to comprehensive resources tailored to their unique circumstances. And so, the idea for ProtecHer began to take shape—not as a tech solution, but as a human one. Over several years, Brittney and Erin poured their hearts and minds into the project. They researched systemic barriers, dissected legal frameworks, and mapped the terrain of trauma-informed care. They listened—deeply and intentionally—to survivors, advocates, and experts, gathering insights that would become the foundation of ProtecHer’s design.
With every conversation, the vision sharpened: ProtecHer would be more than a platform. It would be a sanctuary. A place built from lived experience and relentless advocacy. A space that understood what it meant to feel overwhelmed, unseen, and in need of something real.
Launched in Massachusetts, ProtecHer quickly became a beacon of hope. Whether someone needed a legal advocate, access to therapy, or connection to peer support, the app made the process intuitive, trauma-informed, and—above all—safe. Brittney and Erin’s dedication was evident in every detail, from the privacy-first document storage to the strategic matching of resources by category and location. ProtecHer wasn’t just a tool—it was a promise.
As the platform grew, so did its impact. What began as a vision born from compassion evolved into a lifeline for countless individuals. And yet, Brittney and Erin never lost sight of their purpose: to create a trusted space where survivors could find strength, community, and a path forward. ProtecHer became a testament to their belief that healing is possible when technology meets empathy, and that no one should ever feel alone in their fight for justice and recovery.
Their journey reminds us that real change begins with listening, and that when compassion is paired with determination, it can build something extraordinary. ProtecHer is more than a name—it’s a movement. A reminder that support should be accessible, privacy should be protected, and every survivor deserves a place to belong.
