ICA President and Founder, Pat Bradley said, “I’ve been through war zones & refugee camps. Seen orphans, widows, sickness & disease. But nothing grasps my heart like the face of a young girl that has been held captive by sex trafficking. And it happens right here, in our own backyard. Partnering with the NALA and their local business partners brings awareness of these horrors and provides opportunities for people to respond. We are grateful to be featured by the NALA.”
