LIFE FOR THE INNOCENT

Life For The Innocent (LFTI) partners with a rescue network and local authorities in South Asia to intervene for children trafficked for sex, labor, or organs. After every rescue, intake services are provided through local agencies, including medical examinations and identification documents. Every child is placed on the Missing Child Registry to locate family members who may be looking for them. When this intake process is finished, the team transports children to LFTI’s homes in South Asia, providing a safe place to heal and grow. In short, LFTI rescues children, restores hope, and renews lives.

HEARTFELT HUGS by Madelene Cares

This wonderful organization organizes various activities and events exclusively for the siblings.  They fill backpacks that are handed out at local hospitals when their siblings check in for treatments or extended stays.  Check out her website to see how this beautiful young lady is making an impact on young lives.

The outings, which are free, are typically held outdoors which provide a therapeutic release and a way to decompress off shift. There are many organizations out there like this to support veterans and their mental health, but few for those who protect our communities.
