The Horne Law Firm Donates Trauma Kits to Tharros Place for Survivors of Human Trafficking
Tuesday, July 26th, 2022
Tharros Place has partnered with The Horne Law Firm and the United Way of the Coastal Empire tor provide trauma kits for victims of human trafficking. The trauma kids include snacks, adult coloring books, colored pencils, Pj’s, socks, lotion, stress ball, and Chick-fil-a giftcards, all donated by The Horne Law Firm. The trauma kits will be presented to Chatham County Juvenile Court on July 28, 2022 at 11:00, 197 Carl Griffin Dr, Savannah, GA 31405. Media is invited to attend.
This event aims to bring attention to Tharros Place supporting survivors of human trafficking and to shine a light on the problem of human trafficking in our community. These trauma kits presented to Chatham County’s Juvenile Court will positively impact many children who have experienced traumatic situations through sex and labor trafficking.
“We appreciate The Horne Law Firm’s generous donation of the trauma kit supplies to bring comfort to these young survivors,” said Julie Wade, Executive Director of Tharros Place.
Tharros Place is a new non-profit working to develop a residential facility for survivors of human trafficking, girls ages 11-17. Human trafficking is the exploitation of another person for sex, labor, or services. Unfortunately, it is a problem in Savannah due to our high poverty rate, international port, booming tourism industry, and the crossroads of Hwy 95 and I 16. Juvenile Court comes across these young victims on a regular basis. Tharros Place was created to fill a gap in services to provide support and residential shelter to survivors of human trafficking. Tharros means courage in Greek. Our long term goal is a 12-bed residential home to address underlying trauma and to cultivate a culture of courage for survivors.
The Horne Law Firm, P.C., is a personal injury and car accident firm that strives to provide exceptional client care and the best possible results. A frequent contributor to and partner with several local charities, HLF seeks to uphold the law and those who lack access to equality and justice.
