We are pleased to share with you the e-mail we received last June. It came from a High school student who has decided to host a birthday party/fundraiser, with a portion of the proceeds raised, set to go to STOP.

“Good Afternoon to you.  My name is Gabi Vaccaro. I’m a senior at St. Petersburg High School. For my senior year community service project I’m helping a friend raise money for your organization. We have a shared passion to do what we can to stop human trafficking.  She is having a big b-day party. She has lots of friends and knows a ton of people. So during the party she hopes to display some of your organization information.  The goal is to raise money for your non-profit.  Can’t promise lots of money but will promise a greater awareness in our community based on our efforts.”

We wish Francesca, whose birthday is July 18, a beautiful birthday
