Goya Cares Partners with Tom Homan and Sara Carter
In a profound commitment towards combating child trafficking, Goya Cares, the philanthropic arm of Goya Foods, has joined forces with Tom Homan, the newly appointed Border Czar, and investigative reporter Sara Carter. This initiative, launched in recognition of Human Trafficking Awareness Month, focuses on the alarming reality of more than 325,000 missing children in the United States.
The shocking statistic, which has nearly tripled from 85,000 in 2023, highlights a crisis that demands immediate attention and action. Bob Unanue, CEO of Goya Foods, declared, "Human trafficking is the gravest evil of our time... We are blessed to have a leader like President Donald Trump, who will prioritize action on behalf of these innocent victims."
Goya Cares aims to galvanize communities to recognize the growing epidemic of human trafficking, educating the public on its impacts while equipping them with the knowledge to help keep children safe.
Tom Homan, who has dedicated over three decades to law enforcement, states, "I have dealt with too many tragic stories of young children being trafficked... It is time for this entire nation to join together and be united to end trafficking and save these children." With such a powerful statement, Homan sets a tone of urgency and unification that underscores the initiative's mission.
Sara Carter, known for her investigative work and poignant storytelling, shares her distressing personal experiences with human trafficking. She notes the impact on children as young as four who are traveling alone and subject to the horrors of exploitation. Her words resonate with a call to action: "It is our moral obligation to protect the vulnerable, and to find those lost in our system who were taken in by traffickers."
The partnership also emphasizes the importance of mental health support for children impacted by these dire circumstances. Goya Cares aims to not only safeguard children but also to advocate for their overall well-being. Collaborations like this highlight a communal commitment to addressing mental health challenges faced by vulnerable youth, further illustrating the scope of Goya's initiative.
