HELP US FIND AILLANNA MENDOZA

By 5LMEDIA79

Aillanna Mendoza, a 14-year old girl from San Leandro, is missing. She was last seen at her home in San Leandro at 11:30pm on Thursday,...

“We were hostages in our own house. Pimps were waiting for us outside. Police could not help. Special Operations sent in a car and moved us to a nice, safe place.”

“She was so scared her pimp was going to find and kill her. Special Operations let us know he was already serving 30 years in jail. Knowing this information saved her life.”

“Special Operations offered to buy her clothes and other necessities to help her transition to a safe home.”

“The girls are often too trusting, believing the man is their boyfriend, and even the most engaged parents may not realize what is going on until after tragedy strikes.”

“THERE ARE NO WORDS. I CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR FINDING MY DAUGHTER.”

“Just knowing that folks cared enough to hire private investigators to find our daughter kept us going…no parent should have to go through this…”

“Special Operations helped me get my stolen car back and file a restraining order against the trafficker. I was too scared to call the police because I was afraid I’d be arrested for prostitution or lose my job if anyone found out.”

"There is NO WAY she'd be safe right now if it were not for Special Operations."

"Thank God for Special Operations!! Jasmine would never have been saved without them!”
