4. A daughter was murdered by a pimp

when she was 19. She was kidnapped from her parents when she was 17. The family attended the same church as I attend at that is how I heard about sexual slavery.

Some women may do it out of free will but many others are slaves. If there is a program that helps 33% then at least those women who want out are getting help. There is a saying, "If this helps just one (child, woman person)...." for many different causes/issues. Well, last year 2 former prostitutes did graduate from the Streetlight program and one is at ASU and the other at a community college. Both are planning on degrees that will help them to help other women trapped in the slave trade.

It reminds me of the starfish story. It made a difference to those starfish the boy saved by tossing them back into the ocean.
