Jennifer Clinger – Human Trafficking Survivor via Who I Met Today
“The night I ate those pancakes,” says Jennifer, “was when I knew I was going to be ok.”
For 20 years, while she roamed the streets and picked up “work,” Jennifer frequently went to church and continually prayed. On her knees, weeping, she’d plead with God. “When will you pluck me from this hell?” The non-profit also offers jobs—with a living wage—to the healing women. Jennifer, employed as the Volunteer Coordinator, explains Thistle Farms hires the women and pays them a sufficient salary. “They don’t have to return to illegal hustles to make ends meet,” she says.“We are good women, but we need a first chance at life. We didn’t get one as children,” continues Jennifer. Prison, for these women, seems to be a vicious cycle.
She gave up drugs and—required to keep appointments and commitments—learned self control and discipline. She discovered true love is sometimes “strict” and “stern.”Women are frightened when they first arrive, with hollow, empty eyes. Once they know they are safe and others care at this special place, a peace washes over them. They begin to smile and “get a glow in their eyes.”
The judge asked Jennifer to approach the stand. In front of her lay a stack of files—Jennifer’s drug and prostitution cases from so long ago. When the judge informed her the cases no longer exist, Jennifer’s knees buckled.
