I have 2 young daughters (ages 6 and 10) and a son (age 8) and we talk about abductions and stratagies regularly. 24 yrs ago, my family suffered a great loss when my father (age 53) was abducted and murdered. It can happen to anyone, anytime.
Thank you!
Please forward this to all corporate officers and board members:
As a mother of two young girls, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support of such a worthy endeavor.
As a citizen of the United States of America and the great State of Oregon, your corporate sponsorship is a beacon and model to all other corporations that giving of corporate funds to the community is not only a duty of the corporate sector, but truly the backbone of what makes America such a great and noble country.
Directly due to your actions, not one, but many and even, perhaps, thousands of girls will be empowered by, "Just yell Fire!" and their lives spared from pain and even death.
As leaders of this corporation, you should be proud of your company, just as a parent is proud of a child.
Thank you for fulfilling the dreams of these young women to make a difference and save people all over the world from these horrible crimes.
I cannot even imagine how many lives you have changed since the video. I will definitely put it to good use. I can guarantee that everyone who has a daughter, niece, granddaughter, girlfriend or what have you, will sleep a little better at night because of what you girls hae done.
Thank you so much for all of your efforts on trying to stop things like this from happening to any other of the girls out there.
So pleased to know you and your work

Thank you again from our entire team! You and Valerie did such a fabulous job. Several of our volunteers commented at the end that your traiing was the best self-defense class they had ever taken - and several had attended classes in the past. you adapted your presentation to fit perfectly into our time constraints and skill level. You and Valerie brought such great energy and enthusiasm to our class. We especially appreciate you taking time on a Sunday. We feel empowered to continue to advocate for sexually exploited women in and around Portland.
We are so pleased to know you and your work. I hope this is only the beginning of our partnership.
I will gladly vote for Dallas to win the grant from Volvo. I learned about JYF from a segment on CNN. I intend to share it with my 12-year old daughter, because I am NOT one of those people who thinks it "could never happen to my child..." - I know it can happen to anyone, anywhere, and I want her to feel empowered to protect herself. Just the confidence she will receive from this DVD could make all the difference.
I want you to know that I don't often donate money, but maybe my contribution will allow just one extra young woman to see your DVD, and you never know what a difference it could make. Keep up the inspiring work.
Best wishes for a wonderful Christmas and New Year
