This is part 1 of a 2 part story.

As a young girl from Saginaw, Michigan, Joyce Dixson-Haskett was molested and abused. As she grew up the abuse got worse, and she would eventually be forced into the world of human trafficking. She would be pushed to a breaking point, where she would have to kill or be killed. But that’s only part of her story. If you or someone you know needs help call the trafficking hotline @ 1 (888) 373-7888
