Daliyah was living with sex traffickers until she ran away and we helped her into a new life.
Daliyah, who was raised in the foster care system, is now safe with new friends and has a sense of hope. Less than a month ago, she was enduring terrible trauma and homelessness as a young victim of sex-trafficking, but was finally able to escape, hiding in a restaurant. Our private investigative team found and rescued her. We moved her to a hotel while we researched safe home options, and our trained advocates became her friends and her much needed support system. They took her shopping for necessities and stayed by her side when she was scared. Not only did they help Daliyah move into a safe home, they decorated it for Christmas and sent all of the girls a very special turkey dinner, including a Buche de Noel and gingerbread house!
Today, predators can reach vulnerable children through phones, social media, gaming platforms, and the internet, often before families realize something is wrong. Finding Kids responds through three core programs: Recover. Care. Target. We help locate missing and exploited children, support families during and after recovery, and work with law enforcement to identify and disrupt those who exploit youth. Our work continues after a child is found because recovery is only the beginning. By combining investigations, aftercare, and prevention, we help children return safely to their homes, schools, and communities while building a future where every vulnerable child receives help before crisis becomes exploitation. We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and 100% of your tax-deductible donation goes directly towards keeping kids safe. We cannot do this work without your support.
