Five Women Tell Their Stories of Hope and Inspiration
"Miss Kathy has been and still is a big inspiration in my life. The care and love that Miss Kathy brings is very much appreciated, and I wouldn't trade her for the world. She always gave me hope for another day and gave me another chance to be better." LA
"I've had days in my life when I felt like I couldn't go on and wanted to give up. Ms. Kathy would talk to me and make me realize my worth, and that I'm a strong, independent woman that can do whatever I put my mind to. She always had my back every time I went to her and helped me solve my problems. There was never a time she let me down. She was always that person who was there for me when no one else was, and I truly thank her and love her for everything she's done for me." AC
"Miss Kathy is the reason I know there is nothing that I cannot do. She helped strengthen my faith and reminded me that I am a beautiful and smart woman, and I should have more in life." EK
"Ms. Kathy has made a really big impact on my life. She held my hand even when everybody let go. When I needed a shoulder to cry on, she was there. Even when everybody told me I could never make it in life, she took me to church where we cried and hugged, and for the first time, I felt safe. Because of her, I went back to school and finally got my own apartment. Her heart is made of gold, and she's a truly wonderful person. Thank you so much, Ms. Kathy. I just wanted you to know how much you affect people's lives. You're really an angel from God! I love you, and thank you for still being here for me." SC
I met Miss Kathy when I was 14 years old. Let me tell you why Miss Kathy is still an extraordinary friend and confidant to me to this day. She was a staff member at a facility that I was in at the time. Because of my history with the "life," I was sentenced to over a year there. Out of all the staff, I feel that Miss Kathy was the most warm, caring and genuine. From making sure that the girls were okay to giving us words of encouragement when we were not okay, and making us feel like we weren't alone or isolated, Miss Kathy made sure we felt wanted and needed. She made me and many of the other girls feel like somebody loved us and genuinely cared for us, despite the many false promises of love we had received from family, exploiters, or so-called friends.
Miss Kathy made me feel like I would do anything I set my mind to. It was the way she said it to you that made you feel superior over bad dreams, past experiences, feelings of guilt and doubt, and superior over anyone who told us we wouldn't amount to anything. Having Miss Kathy as a staff member helped us get through our time there.
Today, Miss Kathy has her own non-profit to continue providing support to young girls and women like me. I am a survivor of domestic sex trafficking, and a current advocate in the anti-trafficking movement. I can say that there are not many people like her standing with us in this fight--people who truly care about the atrocities we've endured, our well-being, and what actually makes us happy, but with Miss Kathy, we have found that! Never lose hope! Never stop fighting, and get to know Miss Kathy! MT
