Founder non-profit from Las Vegas, the survivor of traffic shares the story before the 10-year gala

Las Vegas, nev. (Fox5) – FEA SHERO Foundation helps girls and women who have been trafficked, exploited or abused.

The Foundation is preparing for the 10th annual gala this weekend to raise enough money to host those who escaped their traffickers.

The co-founder Kimberly Miles spoke to Fox5. She reflected on everything she has now and how she got here.

“Without the experience of pain and trauma, I would never have done this work,” Miles said.

Trauma and pain began as a young girl, written in her book called “Zero at Shero”.

She describes her life to be on a wheelchair for the beginning of her life to lose her mother. Then, being forced to go out on his own at 15 years.

It is a heart pain that still stands with miles.

“I didn’t have the attention, so I felt pushed and dumb,” Miles said.

Miles met a woman she said had changed everything.

“I met a woman who was 27 years old who was like a big Sis,” Miles said. “He took me and I thought he was my savior.”

Before she knew her, her new “Big Sis” presented it in a world of sex traffic.

“They could say how young I was. They knew what was happening so I could pay the rent. That’s how it started, “Miles said.

Soon things started to become bad, according to Miles.

She tells Fox5 about an incident that involved five men.

“So I remember before I was dragged on a flight of stairs, with the head that is thrown down, I remember making a run for it, screaming and fighting and crying,” she said.

Miles had managed to escape and tells Fox5 that he later had intended weight, because it was her way of staying away from a world she never wanted to return.

“I didn’t want to be attractive to anyone,” Miles said.

Years later, a career in corporate sales led miles to Las Vegas.

Also, a subway police in the city are following the traffickers.

According to the Metro police, 81.7 % of the interventions they made with sex traffickers are on the Las Vegas band.

Miles said she knows that Las Vegas needs her help.

Fox5’s victory saha: “Do you see yourself in them?”

miles: “In some of them, some of them have much worse than I had.”

With her organization Be a Shero Miles helped hundreds of girls with emergency counseling and homes.

“The first year is just PTSD Baby, the first 90 days just have to sleep at night,” she said.

Their annual gala is on Saturday at Palms Casino. Their purpose is to raise more than $ 1 million to finance a house that will be in a central side of the valley.

This is so that the survivors can easily reach, but the location of the house will remain undesirable for their safety.
