🚨 RESOURCE FOR YOUTH & FAMILIES 🚨

If a young person is away from home and needs help getting somewhere safe, the National Runaway Safeline’s Home Free program may be able to help.

Through Home Free, eligible youth ages 12–21 may receive a free Greyhound bus ticket to return to family, a legal guardian, another safe adult, or an approved alternative living situation.

This resource can also help youth who may be experiencing homelessness, exploitation, or trafficking and need a safe way out.

📞 Call 1-800-RUNAWAY (1-800-786-2929)
Available 24/7
Free. Confidential. Judgment-free.

At Break the Label, we believe young people deserve more than a label. They deserve options, resources, safety, and someone willing to help them find a way forward.

COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE NEEDED

I’m working on an upcoming Still Missing Sunday video for Kamaya F. Jenkins, who has been missing from Aiken, South Carolina since May 24, 2025.

I’m asking for the community’s help.

If you know Kamaya, know her family or friends, went to school with her, or have additional recent photos of Kamaya, please send me a private message.

One photo is not always enough. Different hairstyles, angles, clothing, and everyday pictures can help someone recognize a missing person.

Please do not post private information publicly. Message me directly with anything that may help us put together the most accurate awareness video possible.

Let’s help keep Kamaya’s face circulating.

Saturday Community Spotlight: Jake Higgins ❤️

This is what community looks like.

A working Lowcountry single mother of five reached out because her family needed food. Jake Higgins didn’t just share her story or tell her where she could look for help—he stepped up.

While working his State Trooper job, Jake offered to pay for the groceries himself and asked members of the community to help shop and deliver them to the family. He also reached out to local food banks and assistance programs because he wants to make sure this family has support beyond just today.

That’s the kind of thing I want to spotlight.

Seeing a need, stepping in, and then bringing the community together to make sure a family doesn’t fall through the cracks.

Thank you, Jake Higgins, for showing what it means to truly serve your community. ❤️

💙 SATURDAY HOPE SPOTLIGHT: LOWCOUNTRY OUTREACH 💙

This Saturday, Break the Label is shining our Hope Spotlight right here at home on Lowcountry Outreach, a ministry of St. Peter’s Catholic Church serving our Beaufort County community.

What I love about this organization is that it brings so many different kinds of help under one roof—connecting people with resources when they may not know where else to turn.

Lowcountry Outreach works alongside community partners to provide or connect neighbors with services including:

✨ Free volunteer transportation to medical appointments
✨ Support for families facing homelessness or eviction
✨ Free legal assistance and heirs’ property resources
✨ SAT tutoring for local students
✨ Recovery and addiction support groups
✨ Grief and grieving-parent support
✨ Resources and support for fathers
✨ Services for veterans
✨ Memory-loss and caregiver support
✨ Help accessing benefits such as SNAP and Medicaid
✨ Spiritual and prayer support
✨ And much more. (Lowcountry Outreach Center)

Their Angel Rides program alone has provided more than 850 one-way rides, helping remove transportation barriers for people trying to get to medical care and other essential services. (Lowcountry Outreach Center)

Lowcountry Outreach was created with a simple but powerful purpose: identify gaps in our community and help connect people to the services they need. (Lowcountry Outreach Center)

Sometimes hope looks like finding the right resource at exactly the right time. Sometimes it looks like a volunteer willing to give someone a ride. Sometimes it’s simply having a place to walk into and say, “I need help.”

That is why Lowcountry Outreach is our Saturday Hope Spotlight. 💙

Please share this one. Someone on your friends list may need one of these resources and simply not know it exists.

🚨 INTERNET SAFETY TIP OF THE WEEK 🚨

Teach your child that “private” conversations online should never have to be secret.

Predators often don’t begin with something obviously sexual. They may start by building trust, giving compliments, offering emotional support, or making a child feel like they’re the only person who understands them.

Then comes:

“Don’t tell your parents.”
“Keep this between us.”
“They wouldn’t understand.”
“Delete our messages.”

🚩 Secrecy is a red flag.

Talk to your kids about the difference between privacy and secrecy. Make sure they know that if anyone online asks them to hide a friendship, conversation, photo, account, or meet-up from a trusted adult, they can come to you without immediately fearing punishment.

The goal isn’t just monitoring their phones.

It’s making sure they feel safe enough to tell you when something doesn’t feel right.

💜 TWO YEARS STILL MISSING — HELP US FIND IZZY 💜

Last Sunday, our Still Missing Sunday case was Azriana “Izzy” Brazzell.

Today marks TWO YEARS since Izzy disappeared.

Two years without answers.
Two years without knowing where she is.
Two years is far too long.

Izzy was 15 years old when she disappeared on August 9, 2024. She recently turned 17. Somewhere, someone may have seen her, spoken to her, or know something they don’t realize is important.

PLEASE HELP US FIND IZZY. 💜

Share her face. Share her name. Share this post, especially in Georgia and Kentucky, where there may be connections.

If you have information about Izzy’s whereabouts, please contact law enforcement or submit a tip to NCMEC. Even something that seems insignificant could matter.

She is still missing. She still matters. We are still looking.

HAVE INFORMATION? YOU CAN REMAIN ANONYMOUS.
☎️ Crime Stoppers Greater Atlanta: 404-577-8477
☎️ Sandy Springs Police: 770-551-6900

🌻 SATURDAY STORIES OF HOPE 🌻

This Saturday, we’re shining a spotlight on an amazing organization right here in our own Lowcountry.
The Helianthus Project.

The Helianthus Project is a Beaufort-based 501(c)(3) dedicated to fighting human trafficking through survivor support, advocacy, education, and community action. Their Helios Recovery Support Services help provide stability, advocacy, emergency assistance, and compassionate support to survivors and vulnerable individuals and families.

And this month, they’re doing something I absolutely love: sharing anonymous stories of hope from people who have walked through their recovery program.

Because behind human trafficking statistics are real people. Real stories. Real healing. And real HOPE. 💛

For today’s Saturday Stories of Hope, we encourage you to watch their story, A Place to Call Home, and then take a minute to learn more about the incredible work happening right here in our community.

🌻 Please follow and support The Helianthus Project.
🌻 Watch their story below.
🌻 Share their work so more people know these resources exist.

Hope is powerful but hope put into action can change a life.

Latina & veteran founded 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to supporting child victims of human trafficking
