My name is Jolene. I have become more aware of human trafficking in the last few years.

Human trafficking is a very real issue in our communities and in our world. I feel it often gets ignored due to lack of education and the horrific nature of this crime.

I have been learning everything I can lately about what it is, how it happens and what to look out for. I feel very strongly that we need to shine a light on this to prevent it from happening to anyone else. We need to do everything we can to leave future generations a better world.

For decades, former MP Joy Smith has been a passionate advocate against human trafficking working tirelessly to raise awareness and most importantly, rescue and support survivors as they rebuild their lives. This annual fundraising event raises funds for the Joy Smith Foundation’s Prevention and Intervention programs. 

Please join me in supporting this incredibly important cause and help make this year's Joy in Action in support of Joy Smith Foundation, one of the best ever!
