‘Saving Heaven’ Event To Bring Awareness Of Missing Persons, Human Trafficking
July 11, 2014
The family of 25 year-old Tiffany Daniels, missing since August 12, 2013, is sponsoring an awareness event Saturday to profile the region’s missing persons and the plague of human trafficking.
With over 2200 persons reported missing every day in the United States and over 200,000 US children at-risk of human trafficking; awareness and education becomes our best weapon, according to the family. Florida currently ranks third in the country in reporting of human trafficking offenses and I-10 is widely recognized as the leading trafficking corridor in the country. These problems exist and do affect the local area, family member said.
Saturday, the public is welcome to a free awareness event and education outreach from 5-8 p.m. at Gonzalez Methodist Church at 2026 Pauline Street in Cantonment. Childcare will be available.
“I want everyone to get informed and be involved before they lose someone they love,” said Tiffany’s mother. Featured speakers will include Amy Pernie of In His Steps Dance Studio, KlaasKids Foundation, Called2Rescue, Broken Chains and others. A special memorial for each of the area’s missing persons will conclude the event.
