Run 2 Rescue is an amazing organization that helps victims of Sex Trafficking in the United States. I was so blessed when they helped me change my life! I am here today because they took the time to help me though the trauma I experienced in my life. Couldn’t be happier today!
I have been serving with R2R for several years as a volunteer and have been priveledged to work with several clients. R2R provides 48 hours if intense training to equip the volunteers to work with the girls. I love the passion, heart and vision the Leadership has, that is passed on to all who are involved with R2R. It is tremendously rewarding to work with an organization that has such an impact on these precious lives.
I’ve been with Run2Rescue in the last two years as volunteer. It is a great honor and privilege to work with the whole team to care and love for our girls. We can see the transformative stories and testimonies. All the efforts and work load our staff and volunteers devoted them in are in credible with complete devotion and motivation from love.
Also, I love the way how we support law-enforcement and other organizations. All together, we can be the light and make differences.
I am honored and privileged to be part of the Run2Rescue team as an advocate/mentor. It is a family. Working with the minors is challenging yet rewarding. I have seen the transformation in the lives of the girls Run2Rescue works with because of the personal attention and care for each youth. Some have never had a consistent relationship in their lives and Run2Rescue provides them just that. It is not services based in location or county but remains with the youth no matter where they move to. The leadership, team and volunteers pour out their heart and soul into these girls because they are valued, worthy, and loved!
Wow! What else can be said about an organization like this. I have been following R2R for five and a half years now and have been donating for four years. This group is run by a stellar team of DEDICATED, LOVING, and GOD FEARING men and women. Their love for the Lord is instantly appearant and tangible.
When I first heard about R2R I was a bit skeptical, as I was unaware that sex trafficking was still a problem in the Southern California area. After a bit of research I was shown the error in my way of thinking. The testimonials I heard at my first "benefit dinner" were life changing, obviously life changing for the young women involved in the program, but also life changing for me. Just being in the room with people who are being God's vessel for turning the life's of (now) hundreds of girls a full 180 was awe inspiring.
I have been blessed by being invited year after year to witness first-hand the transformation of women who are rescued from the streets of California (and beyond) and are able to, upon graduation of the program, show how they have been restored to a God honoring member of society.
Thank you to all the members of Run 2 Recue. Your job is not easy, but it is righteous.
Coming into Run 2 Rescue was the turning point of my entire life!!! Everything in my life changed! Their entire organization has blessed my life immensely! I would not be where I am today if they had never come into my life the way that they did. The most incredible gift that they have ever given me was to know who God is and everything that He has done for me. And I have a family that I have never had before. Unconditional love, support, guidance, wisdom, and encouragement in my faith in the Lord with where I am today. I graduated their program almost over 2 years ago and my values, my decisions, and who I surround myself with today are from the mentoring and guidance that I've received while I was in the program in how I conduct my lifestyle. I know now, how to choose safe people so that I do not keep repeating the same cycle of unhealthy relationships. I know now, how to keep my boundaries so that I can stand firm in my decisions and that I will not compromise. I know how, how to combat the negative thoughts and core beliefs in my mind that used to take over daily, those same thoughts almost took me out; by learning how to take my thoughts captive. I am more honest, humble, loving, and wiser because of Run 2 Rescue. Everything about them inside and out is a solid foundation in the Lord, Jesus Christ. Their values of how they treated me surpassed anyone that I have ever met, they met me where I was at in my darkest of darkest days. They loved me where I was at and they love me today! They are proud of me everyday! They are amazing! I love them dearly! I am incredibly blessed!
Run 2 Rescue is a great organization!! They get to the core issues that may have contributed to a trafficking victims exploitation. They are direct yet gentle. Teamwork and faith are crucial to leading girls out of 'the life' and into a thriving future. The extensive dynamics of a team that is set up for just one girl is key to the success of each one that goes through the Run 2 Rescue program! Hours upon hours of training are poured into each volunteer working with the program, there is no doubt you will be fully equipped especially, as they encourage, if you are trusting God's prompting. Each girl will know without a doubt how deep God's love is for them when the program is completed. But that may be the best part, the girls gain lifelong friends and families through Run 2 Rescue! Something they may have never known.
