New Hope for Survivors of Human Trafficking
THANKS ELEVATION BEER CO!
The folks at Elevation Beer Co. in Poncha Springs arranged the live entertainment from singer/guitarist, Caleb Wilbourn and donated a generous 25% of their profits to Haven for Hope! John DiGiorolamo had opportunities to talk to people and sell his book, It's Not About the Sex, about human trafficking. It was an enjoyable evening for all!
AN UNUSUAL AND EXCITING
FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITY!
At a recent breakfast for local veterinarians, Dr. Beth Ritchie was asked to discuss
'BV HOPE' which she started with a dedicated group of volunteers in 2014. Enthralled at her description of their amazing work to decrease and prevent human trafficking in local central Colorado communities, perusing their website also revealed their 'Haven for Hope' initiative to provide safe and restorative housing for adult trafficking survivors. This is something I wanted to support. The question was....how?
On April 18, my sister Diane, niece Dulce, and I begin my sister's dream adventure: Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). This national scenic trail is 2,650 miles from southern California to northern Washington along the Cascade and Sierra mountain ranges.
As a retired US Army officer and veterinarian, I still want to serve. While praying and pondering about Haven for Hope and the epic (for me) trek, the answer became clear - to use the trek to help raise awareness and money for Haven for Hope.
We began our trek on April 18, 2023 from Campo, California. Follow our adventures on our YouTube channel!
Although we didn't get to complete the 2,650 miles, we want to thank all the people who donated to reach $2776!
Many thanks, Margery
