Children

Saved In America NO CHILD SHOULD BE LEFT ON THE STREETS ALONE .

San Diego is in need of an emergency

transitional safe home for children who have been recovered and rescued from Sex Trafficking . There are zero safe homes for children in San Diego County that will protect them from being lured by predators , pimps and traffickers . Most times , when children are recovered , they do not have a home to go to . Many children are homeless and do not have parents or guardians , 60 % are foster youth , some children cannot go home because the abuse is occurring there . Regardless of the case , San Diego needs to do better . We as a collective community are responsible for the vulnerable children and the care they desperately need and deserve . No child should be left on the streets alone .

Saved In America is asking the community to step up and donate so that they can purchase and administer a safe home . The transitional safe home will help to serve children up to 17 years old . The home will be guarded , secure and protected from danger and predators . In the first 14 days , Saved In America will work with specialists and experts to assess the child ; there will be health , physical , mental and emotional checkups . Once the child has been fully examined , working with strategic partners , SIA will work with the child and parent to find the appropriate long-term rehabilitation center . As you can imagine , these children have been traumatized , physically , mentally and emotionally abused ,
