Our impact in Miami, 2020

500 volunteers distributed 145,500 materials to 400+ hotels and motels on January 25th. Shortly after, 4 girls from the NCMEC missing children’s list were found. Twenty-two women trapped in human-trafficking were rescued during a Super Bowl crackdown on the crime, Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle announced Thursday. The victims who were recovered were all female, ranging in age from 15 to 38, with four from Miami-Dade and Broward counties, four from Georgia and ten from other states. Four women from foreign countries — Russia, Israel, Chile and Argentina — were also able to escape.
