Whole Foods Market may be a potential partner that would provide support to the cause specifically for Word and Action Benefit & Award Ceremony that will be staged in The American Airlines Arena Home of The Miami Heat.

A direct extension of the Miami headquarters, it will act as a refuge for misplaced or abused children. It will also be joined in support directly with one of the world’s largest Relief Organizations. The Red Cross Organization- who were the first organization on hand after the devastating earthquake on 12 January 2010, which resulted in the deaths of 316,000 locals and countless casualties causing epidemics and misplacements that opened up the human trafficking exploitation. A crime statistic recorded above drug trafficking.

Sexual abuse and human trafficking of minors is no longer connected to border crossing or kidnapping. On a day-to-day basis the rise in child rape, abduction and slavery continues to shock those uneducated in the treacherous plights of girls and boys sold into sex and tricked into a life with no escape.
