"KC's" Story
"KC's" Story
I grew up in and out of the foster care system, was raped the first time at age four by my then foster father's brother. Over a period of 13 years, I was abused in 11 different homes. My birth mom would work her plan then sadly be back on drugs and back into a home I went. I met the McCampbells at their mentoring group and they have been in my life since. They loved me when I didn't know how to love myself. They have stayed in contact, been present and for that I am grateful. I am so excited about the Strong Tower Project!

From Cora--A Survivor of Human Trafficking
Knowing Darcey & Jay are there for me and always will be, since meeting as a teenager (I am now 30!), has been a huge blessing. I am excited to see how many lives will be changed because people do care and know trafficking is NEVER a choice a young lady makes on her own.
