"Human Trafficking has become so much about the numbers. In that trend we have forgotten about the people. The people that have been trapped...the daughters still missing, the moms still victimized. It is our responsibility to do what we can to Respond!" Individuals are coming together to rebuild the sense of community and looking out for one another. We can turn the trend, we can win this fight! WE WILL WIN THIS FIGHT!

"I began working with The LifeGuard Group because I believe in the mission and I believe that the fight can be won. I am passionate about helping those who can’t help themselves or don’t know how. My passion is motivating and educating students to be the LifeLine and stand Guard as the front line in the fight."

"I myself came from a place of major vulnerability, I had been knocked down so many times that I couldn’t get back up. Then a few great people helped me up, helped me turn my life around and showed me that I can use my story to help others.
That’s why I am so passionate about what the Lifeguard Group and the Lifeline Project are doing. Giving hope to those who have lost all hope and giving a voice to those that have been knocked down by the injustices of life."

“Lowell and I are a great team. I can see things that he doesn’t, and he sees things I don’t. I’m at all the searches, so when a small detail small slips past one of us the other can spot it.”

“I work a lot inside the tribal nations in America, where human trafficking is a growing epidemic. It has always been my passion to help people who are bound, emotionally or physically, be set free.”

“I love raising awareness. It’s so impactful to bring this issue to light and see the moment of awe when people realize this isn’t someone else’s problem—this issue is in our own backyard, and we all have our hands in it.”

“There’s this huge problem where we see and issue and insist that it’s not an issue, because then we have to acknowledge it and it hurts. But these are real people being harmed, and I’m passionate about allowing these women and men to find healing. People want to group everyone and everything together, but I want to bring awareness to the individual.”

"I believe human trafficking is nothing short of modern day slavery. It's an appalling reality and detrimental to the lives it impacts. As a father I can't imagine the pain and anxiety families go through, much less the actual victims. It's a living hell for those enslaved and my hope is to raise awareness, facilitate response and foster recovery to limit trafficking and its impact"

“After learning about human trafficking years ago I knew right away I wanted to serve with an organization that was doing something about it. I believe every person has a responsibility to do something. There are victims in every community, all across the country and the world. We must protect or help the victims. This organization gives everyone the opportunity to join the fight. The Lifeguard Group has a thorough mission from education to searching and restoration. “
