January is Human Trafficking Prevention Month and Tree House of Tallahassee is guaranteeing that families in the Big Bend who are experiencing times of crisis have a safe place to call home.
Not every child has a happy home. Children left in situations of abuse, abandonment and other difficult circumstances need a safe space until they can transition to a safe, caring home. They also are particularly predisposed to human trafficking. These children can find a safe space at Tree House of Tallahassee.
A $20,000 grant was recently contributed by a coordinated Medicaid plan, Simply Healthcare Plans, to support the Tallahassee venture in its mission to keep kids safe. The grant allows Tree House to upgrade its facilities, double down on its services and enhance the play and education area for the children and teenagers who call Tree House home. Other funds will be directed toward replacing windows in the 40-year-old facility and making other essential updates.
