We have two main goals:

1. Raising AWARENESS of Human Trafficking - through 5K's, speaking publicly in various venues, holding "Dinner & a Movie" events, and wearing the color orange to represent FREEDOM!

2. Establishing DREAM HOMES - across the nation as safe places that are full of God's love by providing therapeutic healing, education and hope to victims to re-enter society.

What is Human Trafficking?

This fastest growing criminal industry in the world is defined by the United Nations as the recruiting, transporting, harboring, receiving and selling of victims for the purpose of prostitution, slavery, pornography, or sexual exploitation. It takes place through threat, coercion, fraud, abduction, deception, and abuse of power. Human Trafficking targets children and teenagers with approximately 1.2 million new innocent victims annually. Worldwide it is estimated to include between 20-27 million victims. After drug trafficking, human trafficking is the second most prolific industry in the criminal world, producing 9.5 billion dollars annually. Presently, there are 49 countries that traffic into 91 cities in America with the average age being 13 years old. Together we can make a difference!

      “It is appalling that so many people in the world are enslaved primarily because they have the misfortune to be poor. The organization's goal is a good one and one right thinking people should support.”
