I just read the Conroe News out of the Woodlands. The post was regarding the critical work The Phoenix Charities is doing. I am a facial Esthetician and I am currently looking at returning to school to learn Laser Tattoo Removal and other services to further my education and expand my knowledge in this industry. I have been contemplating this for over 3 years and could not articulate a huge reason "WHY" to expand into this knowledge base. The Phoenix Charities has thoroughly INSPIRED ME! I have always volunteered, donated & worked with non-profits and especially with indigent children, teens and adults to help them with their skin care issues. I have always felt better "paying it forward" than receiving in any area. I love the non profit industry and the work The Phoenix Charity does. It is so critical for at-risk local children, teens and families. God bless you. I pledge to donate my services, now and in the future, to help those in need. We can never out-give God. Thank you for sharing. Child/Human trafficking is very real. I was shocked and stunned when I saw it with my own eyes over 7 years ago. When I worked for a local non-profit I was approached by a young "Nanny" who enlisted my help. With the assistance of local law enforcement/authorities we extracted her from this situation. We were able to orchestrate her safe return to her home country and family. She had been living for over a year in bondage in a very prominent neighborhood in Southwest Houston. I was unaware until this incident that the struggle is real. It's certainly not make believe, it is out there and we must be vigilant. Again, thanks for sharing, you have touched my heart, and I am sure countless others. You have given me an added layer to "MY WHY" to move forward with training. Keep up the vital work. God is good.
