Just Love Worldwide

JUST LOVE WORKDWIDE HELPS TO FILL THE SUPPORT AND SERVICES GAP FOR SURVIVORS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN GREATER PORTLAND, MAINE. THOSE SERVICES INCLUDE NEW AND GENTLY USED CLOTHES, TOILITRIES, DENTAL SERVICES, TRANSPORTATION, AND OTHER BASIC-TO-COMPLEX NEEDS.

SURVIVOR SUPPORT IS DESIGNED TO FILL THE GAPS IN SERVICE WHERE BASIC NEEDS ARE NOT MET BY SERVICE PROVIDERS. THESE SERVICES GENERALLY COME IN THE FORM OF A GIFT CARD TO WALMART, TJ MAXX AND HANNAFORD GROCERY STORE. THEY ALSO INCLUDE SHOPPING FOR UP TO $100 FOR NEW CLOTHING AS A START BEFORE GENTLY USED CLOTHING IS PROFIVED. WE HAVE ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS WITH FOUR SURVIVORS AND THREE THAT WERE BROUGHT TO US THROUGH THE PREBBLE STREET ANTI-TRAFFICKING GROUP. NAMES ARE OFTEN NOT GIVEN OR ARE MADE UP TO PROTECT THE SURVIVOR. WE LIKE TO MAINTAIN THE ANONYMITY OF THOSE WE WORK WITH. A TOTAL OF $2778 WAS SPENT IN THE AREA.

TRANSPORTATION IS THE GREATEST FORM OF FREEDOM FOR A SURVIVOR. WE HELPED A SURVIVOR PURCHASE HER FIRST CAR AND ESTABLISH CREDIT FOR THE FIRST TIME. WE ALSO HELPED A SURVIVOR GET INSURANCE FOR HER VEHICLE.

SURVIVORS OFTEN HAVE MANY HEALTH PROBLEMS TO CONTEND WITH ONCE THEY ESCAPE. TEETH ARE OFTEN KNOCKED OUT IN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS AND HEALTHCARE IS NON-EXISTANT. WE WERE ABLE TO HELP TWO SURVIVORS WITH DENTAL WORK IN COASTAL MAINE. BOTH WOMEN RECEIVED PRELIMINARY DENTAL CARE AND UPPER DENTURES. ALL THAT HEALING ON THE INSIDE CAN NOW BE SEEN IN THEIR SMILES.
