My Nonprofit Reviews

Guardian Group is the first non-profit I've truly felt passionate about supporting. One reason for this is they potentially saved my daughter from a would-be trafficker. My daughter attended one of Guardian Group's free mother/daughter informational/self defense courses. Later that summer, while traveling alone, my then 13 year old daughter was approached by a older man while she was sitting at her gate waiting to board her plane. She told me there were plenty of open seats at the terminal, but the man chose to sit right next to my daughter. The man started asking my daughter questions and she got an uneasy feeling. While recounting the story to me, my daughter told me she remembered learning, from the class put on by Guardian Group, that if you show confidence, through direct eye contact, a potential trafficker is less likely to pursue you. My daughter told me that she answered the man's questions while looking him directly in the eyes. It wasn't long before the man stood up and left. All young girls and women should have this training. It could save a life.
