Elena dedicated her time and resources to rebuilding her life on her own terms. Utilizing her background in corporate law and her firsthand understanding of trauma recovery, she established the Vance Foundation—a global nonprofit organization dedicated to tracking down missing persons, rescuing victims of domestic coercion, and providing comprehensive psychological and financial rehabilitation for survivors of abuse.
