Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 895

Tonight's special guest is Kelley Alsobrook from Memphis, Tennessee, a survivor of child abuse, child molestation, human trafficking and domestic violence. An activist with Ashes2Beauty, she leads an abuse recovery class at her church. Kelley says, "It is amazing and an honor to watch the transformation as these women get healing and then in turn help others!!!" Kelley Alsobrook was born and raised in Miami, Florida and has resided in Memphis, TN with her husband for the past fourteen years. Growing up in an abusive home was something that is known well to Mrs. Alsobrook. Being sexually, physically, and mentally abused in her youth she came to accept this kind of treatment from a man. This abuse continued into her adult hood as she became the victim of human trafficking and domestic violence. Being disconnected from her family and being a single mother she became a very easy target for a pimp that preyed on her vulnerability. She continued in this lifestyle for approximately 4 years. The guilt, shame and self loathing of this lifestyle led her into drug use as her life spiraled downward. She felt there was no hope of ever escaping. Once she escaped this torturous lifestyle she was determined to help others get through these same experiences. She is now passionate about seeing those who have been beaten, broken, battered, and bruised become whole. This was the motivation for beginning Ashes2Beauty. As Kelley notes, "I am a survivor of child abuse, child molestation, human trafficking and domestic violence! I share my story in order to bring awareness as well as hope to those that feel hopeless!"
