We enjoyed celebrating last night with many of you at Party in the Grove, where we heard an update from Sheriff Waybourn and Commander Turner about the work of our Tarrant County Human Trafficking Task Force!
Matt Osborne, the former-CIA operative whose work was featured in the movie Sound of Freedom, shared why he and the OUR Rescue team are excited for the future of anti-trafficking work in North Texas. They have designated Unbound Now as a preferred partner in the region due the strength of our programs and services.
In a meaningful extension of support, OUR Rescue provided the Underground with a new emotional support dog! Chris Cage, Director of the Underground shared, “Theo’s full name, Theophilus, means ‘loved by God.’ We have already seen him demonstrate that message to clients in his first days at the Underground, sitting beside them as they settled into a safe place.” Check out the photos below to see Theo making new friends at the party!
And, Assistant District Attorney Lindy Borchardt, our dedicated human trafficking prosecutor, earned a well-deserved raffle prize for her hard work at the court house! It is a joy to celebrate our community partners.
Brian Anderson, Unbound Now’s CEO, reminded us of the impact of today’s giving. So far this year (as of September 19!), Unbound Now staff have served 1,302 clients! This represents a tremendous numbers of lives touched, and we are expanding to reach even more youth in counties near to our current service regions.
Thank you for joining us to make North Texas Giving Day a success! Together, you raised $81,346 to support survivors of human trafficking in the North Texas community!
