     “I’m excited about collaborating with Hope Against Trafficking and their related recovery communities. Utilizing a vast network of local resources represents the very definition of networking at its best. Seeing local professionals and volunteers providing a full spectrum of health, education and tangible life skills training is amazing. These services empower victims to become productive, fulfilled members of society. Institutional and Correctional facility treatment programs alone traditionally provide short term, potentially expensive services with limited accountability. By collaborating, we can increase long term success rates and reach more victims.”

She saw firsthand the red-light district where the very young being sold, she vowed to help stop the injustice of children being sold for sex. Upon returning to the states she became aware of the numbers sold into human trafficking here in the states. With a local focus on mine, she helped start Unshackled – a Voice for the Voiceless.
