Saturday May 14, "Mosaic In Motion to Stop the Abuse 5K and 1 mile run" sponsored by Mosiac Family Services will be having their 2nd annual run to raise needed funds to help victims of human trafficking and domestic violence in North Texas. The run will start at 9:00 am at Oak Point Park in Plano, Tx.
Mosaic Family Services is known throughout the United States for their care for victims of human trafficking. In 2001 the non-profit started assisting victims of human trafficking, just one year after the Trafficking Victims Protection Act was passed into law. Since then they have helped 250 of victims receive shelter, medical attention and empowered them to change their lives. They also help survivors of domestic violence and have reached out to 15,000 people providing direct services and outreach.
The service provided to the victims of human trafficking is based on individual consideration for each specific family or person. Their staff speaks 25 languages and are multi-cultural providing assistance to the survivors of human trafficking and domestic violence. In addition they provide awareness presentations to the community and speak at various Conferences on Human Trafficking.
Mosaic is a place where the victims of slavery are given an opportunity to transform their lives. Many times the survivors of human trafficking or domestic violence arrive with only the clothes they were wearing and their children. Having no identification and unable to speak the language. Mosaic provides legal services, counseling for the women and their children and a case manager and one of the most important shelter.
It is so easy to take for granted a safe place to recover but many people that are victims of such a horrific crime have no where else but to depend on non-profits like Mosaic.
The run will start at 9:00 for the 5k and 9:30 for the 1 mile at 2801 E. Spring Creek Parkway, Plano, TX 75074. Registration is $30.00 online till May 13 or $35.00 the same day at the event. Each participant will receive a T-shirt as part of the fundraiser.
Mosaic is a non-profit that is a model for others around the country in their work to fight against human trafficking. For over 10 years they have been on the forefront for the care of survivors.
