Organizations Filed Purposes: Our mission is to rescue children and young adults from human trafficking and modern day slavery in sex for hire and exploitation in pornography, as well as other dangerous and abusive environments, in association with local law enforcement and governing authorities. We established a safe house for endangered children in a family home environment for healing within a licensed foster setting, supported with crisis counseling, trauma therapy and education. We offer specialized care for victims of ritual, clergy, incest, mental, physical and sexual abuses, along with support and education for their families. All our services are free. We promote awareness socially through education and training seminars for first responders, teachers, parents and students on the crimes of trafficking through child pornography, prostitution, neglect and exploitation; focusing on social media dangers for Internet safety, to prevent and intervene in human suffering within local communities and our nation.

The renovation of our first safe house was completed for operation at its present size of 6+ beds as a foster home in mid 2016. We plan to move forward on an addition to increase our capacity to 10+ beds so that we can acquire a new license as a child welfare agency, as funds are given for this purpose, so we can offer longer term care for the child victims as needed for healing. We have become a model for current and future efforts of providing safety, protection, trauma recovery, crisis counseling and healing to children ...and their families when possible. We look to establish more safe houses in conjunction with other non-profits to provide maximum safety for endangered children in an environment for healing, through crisis counseling, trauma therapy and education. With local non profits we offer specialized care for victims of ritual, clergy, incest, mental, physical and sexual abuses, along with comfort and education for their families currently through our facilities. Together these services are free, supported through community donations and grants received for these purposes through our fundraisers and lectures. In 2017 we received a grant to pay off the remaining debt on our first safe house that is now debt free. In 2018 we doubled the number of children we helped through our safe house, while increasing the number of adults by x10 through our training seminars and speaking engagements for first responders, school systems, AZDCS case workers, foster parents, parents, real estate agents, church leaders, social service groups and senior community centers. We taught over 1300 students in schools, colleges and youth groups in various churches throughout Maricopa County in 2018.In 2019 we stopped some services through our safehouse because we had to change our sewer system from septic to city sewer that began in July, forcing us to curtail outside activities at the house. The town's contractor first attempt proved insufficient and 2nd attempt in November works, but is unfinished to date. However, we moved our services with children/non-profits to other venues and were able to assist over 1800 children and families.

In 2018 we doubled the number of children, 1121, we helped through our safe house, which included having 80 - 100 children at foster family gatherings on-site every other month and off-site at a nearby church. We increased the number of adults by x10 through our training seminars and speaking engagements for first responders, school systems, AZDCS case workers, foster parents, parents, real estate agents, church leaders, social service groups and senior community centers. We taught over 1800 students in schools, colleges and youth groups in various churches throughout Maricopa County and beyond. We continued to help children and families affected by human trafficking and child abuse of various kinds...approximately 3890+ individuals, children and adults; by promoting education for public awareness in the community on the escalating crimes of child abuse through trafficking, pornography, neglect and exploitation of children for profit in our training seminars. We trained children and adults on Internet safety within online games, chat rooms and varied uses of social media for purposes of controlling them through sextortion, prostitution, pornography, child labor and various crimes. In 2018 we entered Gilbert, Chandler and Mesa school systems to educate students and staff on the realities of human trafficking, sextortion and primarily Internet and social media safety. Individual families still call for help for intervention with their children after hearing our training sessions for parents, school administrations, officers and first responders. Our services have extended into local communities, churches, foster homes, child care workers, health professionals, real estate agents and agencies. We have completed 2 public service videos and working on 2 documentaries for curriculum training in schools, churches and public outreaches. We also promoted awareness in training seminars out of state and interviews locally in radio, tv, public speaking engagements and fundraisers to thousands. We promoted community outreaches locally to help 400 children and their families in need, adopted for Christmas apart from our training opportunities. In 2019 we continued these same services at our safehouse until July, then moved to outside venues to continue throughout the year...helping 850 children. We continued our services from our office and in the community with 12 training seminars, speaking engagements in 3 school districts locally (2000+ children) and numerous engagements with social groups, church groups, senior groups, radio and tv interviews, law enforcement officers and families in need... on the subjects of Internet safety, human trafficking, child abuse, intervention, protection and the need for public involvement to make safety of our children a priority.
