A small group of women in trucking and logistics have founded a nonprofit organization to help human trafficking victims take their lives back after their traumatic experiences.
HDT's Deborah Lockridge talks to Gift of Freedom co-founder Sharon Siar about the initiative, its inspiration, its goals, and how people can help.
"We're just taking it one step at a time, and one child at a time, because that's what our focus is, is just helping a child just recover and live a normal life free of abuse."
