To look at Jenna, you see a young woman, a young mom, playing with her son and enjoying life. And all of those details are true. But behind her s
mile, Jenna revealed overcoming a very traumatic time in her life. “When I first came to Jessie’s Place, I had been the victim of human trafficking,” Jenna shared with us.
“We were moved around a lot.” (Constant moving is a tactic of traffickers, so their victims don’t know where they are or who to reach our to for help.) “I only saw my son for about an hour a day,” Jenna said. But after breaking free from the modern-day bondage, Jenna was eager for a second chance at life. “I wanted to give myself and my son a better life,” she said.
Hope for the Future
“When I first walked in the doors, I could feel there was an air of God in the place,” Jenna said. With the help of Ms. Glenda in the learning center, Jenna was able to get a job. “I work as an account manager, but I’m currently in training for management,” she said. “More than anything, I hope for stability for me and my son.” Because of your support, you gave Jenna “a safe place to lay my head and be with my son.” You gave her a second chance at life.
