Meet Catherine Ann Wilson
Founder & Survivor
Abused repeatedly from first grade on for nearly 20 years of her life, Catherine Ann Wilson spent most of her years from age 12-17 living on the street. By age 15, starving and desperate, she was lured into sex trafficking. After finding her own freedom from suffering and thriving in her late 40s, she founded Stop Trafficking US.

Why Our Work Matters to Every Child
The Starfish Story
People watched her with amusement. She had been doing this for some time when a cranky old man approached her and said, “Honey, you should go back home and play. These starfish have been out of the water too long. There are too many of them to save. By the time you throw them back in the water…well, it just won’t matter!”
The old man looked at the girl inquisitively and thought about what she had done and said. Inspired, he joined the little girl in throwing starfish back into the sea. Soon, others joined, and many starfish were saved.
