Yesterday’s book signing of “Traffic Stop: Human Division” in Lexington, NE was a day to remember. I watched people from all backgrounds wanting to help something bigger than themselves and I was overwhelmed with gratefulness.
In today’s world, we all know it can be difficult to find the ‘good’, but yesterday I witnessed my community come together for a common cause which was to gain awareness about Human Trafficking. Visiting with the people of my small community who were interested in learning more about protecting their loved ones warmed my heart.
Others wanted to know more about what they could do to help. And, they took action by donating with generosity to Central NE Human Trafficking & Immigration Outreach. Leticia and Stevie Bonifas will receive the full amount collected on 12-7-23. As well as monetary donations my community gave new clothing and toiletries for their clients. Leticia will share more with us next Monday when we meet but I wanted to share here that she has assisted 55 people this year right here in Dawson County, NE.
Thank you to all who purchased a book(s). I want you all to know that your purchases will help us to move forward to spread awareness of Human Trafficking and help in the search for and rescue of MMIP.
Last but not least I want to give a big thank you to Jennifer Norton the Director of the Lexington Public Library. Thank you to Jennifer for playing a dual role of hosting and photographing, as most of the pictures in this post came from her effort. I also want to compliment her on her ability to work with and offer at risk children from our community a safe environment to escape into the world of books. I wondered yesterday how many of their watchful eyes and listening ears were observing and absorbing the activity and discussion related to Human Trafficking. Again, thank you Jennifer.
Thank you all for sharing some really good memories!
