There is a lot of work that goes into rehabbing a house and throw in the red tape of Detroit and the Historic Commission, and it becomes even more complex.

We cannot do this without the talents and generosity of architects, project managers, plumbers, carpenters, electricians, etc.

Today, join us in thanking profusely Leo Derdelakos with OpenForm Architects and Project Manager Ray Koopman for their many hours and expertise donated to this worthy cause!

A huge thank you to Amazon.com for volunteering after a long shift to work on our safehouse. Landscaping and some prep work were the tasks of the day.

Amazon had also donated the bananas and snacks for the walkers at our 4th Annual 5K Freedom Walk.

You are the best, Amazon!!

It meant the world to see all of you who attended our 4th Annual 5K Freedom Walk and Human Trafficking Resource Fair! A huge thank you to the volunteers, sponsors, walkers, participants, and over 42 organizations who came out to Belle Isle to set up their tables on a Saturday to share their resources to make sure the public knows about human trafficking! Thank you for all of your dedication and support in making sure kids, women, men, and everyone in between who have been victimized know what is out there to assist them through their recovery and journey to thrive AND to share the red flags-- not myths --of what to look out for to keep safe!

Luckily, we were able to finish the 5K before the thunder and lightening shut us down. Unfortunately, the resource fair was cut short by two hours. Please go to our directory on our website sparrowfreedomproject.org if you would like to see information on the organizations who came out, including FBI, HSI, Michigan State Police, Detroit Police Department, MCAT, Office of Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald, Wayne County Proscutor's Office, Macomb County Prosecutor's Office, Atnip & Associates, PLLC, Neighborhood Legal Services, Survivor Law Clinic, Brigette Robarge Consulting, Henry Ford, MAP, Elli's House 313, Haven Homes of Detroit, Kids Talk, and many many more! Please tag yourselves if you attended!

And, of course, the biggest appreciation for the marvelous Chief Judge Pope, who spoke about labor and s*x trafficking throughout Michigan and on the Tribal Lands.

Please mark your calendars for May 2027! We will send a save the day out soon!

Take a few minutes and take a look at the day!
