Hello Jody,
I see that you have left this question blank: "Do you have any existing partnerships, and if so, how do you create them?" I'm curious about any partnerships you may have. Particularly, I'm wondering if you have any relationship with local law enforcement? I really like your idea of creating jobs for the victims through sharing their stories and helping others who have gone through similar situations. Are there any places where this is being done? Or, do you have any proposal of how it could work?

Based on the fact that the project has been running on money from you and your mother - how do you plan on financially sustaining your work for the long term?

Thank you for converting your own negative experience into something positive to help others.
Keep up the great work.
Best,
Dana Frasz

Jody, your hard work on this issue is impressive, especially seeing as how the practice involving American women continues to be hidden in the United States. How do American women get caught in sex trafficking? Which women tend to be the most vulnerable here? I'm interested in your anonomous story-telling idea, although I'd suggest that the main insight addressed on that front would be "Mobilize peer groups and communities to raise awareness." How would the story-telling work? Do you have any ideas for partnerships that could leverage your experience and bring in valuable funding?
