Let me introduce myself, My name is Marie and I am a victim of human trafficking and slavery. I was put into the care of Ahava kids two years ago by the court. I know you have a a very strong opinion about this matter and I'm here to shed a little light on it. Because this is something too that is very near and dear to my heart. Ahava kids saved my life!! For four months they actively sought help for me in every aspect possible. not to mention the emotional support and lifelong friendship I gained through out my stay with them. When no one else was willing to help, they were!! They helped me out with court, kept me hidden while I was being hunted, found me counseling, fed me, clothed me. Most importantly taught me that what happened to me wasn't my fault. They put so much effort into taking care of me. No one else would have done that. Not even my own family. I was a full time job! Still to this day I work very closely with them. Believe me when I say that I have been through a lot and can spot someone who is a scam artist and insincere from a mile away. Ahava kids should never be put in that catagory. It is a shame that this has happened to them. The one thing you have to remember is that this is a very new concept and is still very unknown territory. They will be criticized and questioned all the time for what they are doing, but the fact of the matter is that they are doing something. They are trying and that is all you can ask for. That is all I can ask for! I would know better than anyone that what they are being accused of is false and uncalled for because that grant helped to put my life back together again. I know first hand. I hope that this matter does not keep them from helping others like me, because they are so very good at what they do! Cordially, Marie
