“Nothing we say or do is neutral” Dr. Meg Meeker….everything we say and do, our presence or absence, speak echo from childhood, to adulthood, to parenthood and beyond. Let’s turn it around! Let’s heal and let us be the hope our families and communities need! If you had a great dad….put that to use for those without such a blessing. WE can put an end to the exploitation and rise in suicide of young girls and boys today – Fathers are the overlooked link!
It’s time for our next quarterly human trafficking awareness series event.
