Love146 trains aftercare workers, multiplies safehomes, aids socioeconomic development programs in high risk communities and provides a voice for these victims of modern-day slavery.
2 CHILDREN ARE SOLD INTO SEXUAL EXPLOITATION EVERY MINUTE
----
Child sex trafficking is by far the most twisted and disgusting thing that exists in our world today. It still shocks me that it even DOES exist. There are more slaves on the planet today than there has even been. Even after we thought it was over when slavery was abolished in the US. The thought of someone being forced into a life of violence and sexual labor and exploitation makes me sick to my stomach, especially when it is an innocent child. I still can't even understand how someone can BUY a human, and not feel any sort of pain or discomfort at all.

Go to the site. Watch the Videos. Be heartbroken and sick to your stomach.

SAFEHOME started because of the work of dedicated volunteers. Their committment is just as important today as it was 30 years ago. This photo is from the 2007 Volunteer Appreciation.
In 1984, Richard Gibson joined the ranks of SAFEHOME volunteers. Over the years he has done everything from yard work to transporting clients to answering the hotline. As an avid recycler, Richard continues to volunteer for SAFEHOME by picking up donations from local companies.
Recently, SAFEHOME's Education & Prevention Advocate was invited to speak to Girl Scout Troop #1368. This outstanding group of 5th graders from Christa McAuliffe School asked their neighbors to help them with a drive to collect items SAFEHOME needed. The troop collected 69 boxes of kid friendly cereal and over 100 used cell phones.
Member of the Overland Park Chamber Young Professional sorted donation in SAFEHOME's Clothing Closet. This was the first YP Cares volunteer project.

Lee Jeans and Olathe-based NIC, Inc. donated 550 pairs of jeans to SAFEHOME. The free jeans were originally intended for NIC employees as winners of Lee's hometown fundraising challenge for National Denim Day last fall to support breast cancer research. In the spirit of giving, NIC instead asked Lee to donate the jeans to women in need at SAFEHOME.

SAFEHOME Founder Martha Hunt presents the volunteer award named after her at the 2007 Volunteer Appreciation.
Reeva Davis and Sarah Hansen created a beautiful bench for SAFEHOME's play yard this summer. The bench was created so the two could receive the Girl Scout Silver Award. It was more than we expected and staff and residents love it! The girls spent more than 50 hours planning, constructing and painting the bench. They had a plant sale to raise funds for materials and created it from scratch - no kit used here! We truly appreciate the joy and talent that was used in creating this bench!
A big thank you to Maloney's Sports Bar. During the month of December, Maloney's hosted a raffle to benefit SAFEHOME. This year's event raised over $1,500 for shelter and support services at SAFEHOME.
