Thanks to all of you who voted for iSanctuary in the Pepsi Refresh Project. I got so many nice e-mails from friends about it! So here is the update: they didn't win the grant...but it's OK. I chatted with Wendy (one of the co-founders of iSanctuary) the other day and told her that I was sorry that they didn't win. I believe her exact quote was "Don't be sorry. I'm not." She went on to say how she knows that they tried their best and that they will get the funding they need in some way at some point. They are so thrilled to be able to have recently employed 4 survivors of human trafficking in Orange County. That is a HUGE thing. Four survivors in Southern California are getting the help they need and earning an income through iSanctuary right this very moment. So basically if Wendy is OK with it, then so am I. Just another reason that I love this organization...and the people in it. :)
