“ Providence Place is an incredible ministry
devoted to community needs in San Antonio.
There is little help available for victims of sex
trafficking. These ladies need safe places for
themselves and their children. I can’t imagine
the pain they have been through and the
obstacles they are facing. PP will give them a
safe place and the help they need for them to
get their lives back. I’m truly blessed to be a
