Human trafficking survivors walk a long road, often with difficulties and setbacks. But with the right support, as Sr. Margaret Kruse relates, there is hope. 

Kruse is a sister of St. Francis of Assisi, a community located in St. Francis, Wisconsin, just south of Milwaukee. Her community, six other women religious congregations, and one Lutheran Church collaborated to found Sisters Program South, a Milwaukee drop-in center for women who are trapped in human trafficking. In this clip, she shares one success story of a survivor who found the courage and trust to embrace a new life.
