When This Trucker Saw A Girl Behind The Curtain Of An RV, He Knew That Something Didn’t Smell Right

When this trucker saw a girl behind the curtain of an RV, he knew that something didn’t smell right. It had been a normal shift for one trucker doing his job. However, when he arrived at a truck stop, an RV sparked his suspicions.

Then, when he saw a girl peering around a curtain, he knew something was badly wrong and he needed to take action. Kevin Kimmel is an American truck driver…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

He has worked at Conway Truckload for more than half a decade following a career change. But when he first got behind the wheel, he didn’t know just how much he would learn from his new job on the roads. Indeed, in January 2015, Kimmel had an experience that would change his life forever. He had been making deliveries overnight when he stopped to rest in New Canton County, Virginia. Once there, he planned to sleep during the day, but something caught his eye.

Although it is located in a rural area, the truck stop that Kimmel had chosen was quite busy. Nevertheless, one vehicle, in particular, stood out. It was a pretty old RV, and unusually, the windows were blacked out. To Kimmel, it clearly wasn’t one of those family-friendly RVs that he often sees parked up. So, as he was filling out paperwork, the truck driver decided to keep an eye out on it.

Then, after a while, he saw a man knock on the suspicious vehicle’s door before entering. The stranger then exited the RV only to return to the vehicle shortly afterward. Soon, the van began rocking. Then, after around 15 minutes, the motion stopped, and the vehicle was still once again. But what happened next would really spark Kimmel’s concerns.

The truck driver continued to monitor the van, and then he spotted a figure looking out from behind a blackout shade. It was a young lady. That said, Kimmel only had a quick glimpse of her as someone inside the van pulled the woman from view before readjusting the shade. Immediately, this set alarm bells ringing in Kimmel’s mind, and yet he couldn’t be sure of exactly what he’d just seen. As a result, he tussled with a decision over what to do next before eventually opting to call the local police.

After Kimmel relayed what had happened, a dispatcher sent two trooper cruisers and two sheriff cruisers to the scene. From there, the driver watched as the police escorted a young lady from the RV. They didn’t handcuff her, and according to Kimmel, she looked extremely disheveled. A short time later, police removed a man and a woman from the vehicle, and they were both in handcuffs. Kimmel subsequently gave statements to the local police and the FBI.

However, it wasn’t until later that he learned what happened. Kimmel discovered that the couple had kidnapped a victim two weeks previously. Since then, horrifically, they’d been torturing her and starving her. Authorities subsequently handed the couple, Elder Hodzin, and Laura Sorensen, sentences of 42 and 40 years in jail, respectively. Authorities never made the victim’s identity public.

However, Kimmel revealed that she had reached out to him following the ordeal. “She thanked me and called me her hero or guardian angel,” he later revealed to Truckers Against Trafficking. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“I told her thank you and that my wish for her was that she find a way to get through this nightmare and go on to live a happy and healthy life.” Kimmel was happy to have been able to help the young woman in question. However, he knew there was more that he could do as a trucker.

He felt he had a position on the front line of human trafficking. So, he reached out to the charity Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT). TAT is an organization of trucking industry workers who are committed to fighting human trafficking.

The charity educates drivers on the signs of trafficking. After all, as they work on the nation’s highways, they’re ideally placed to keep an eye out for traffickers who exploit the US transport system.

According to the TAT website, there are currently 20.9 million modern-day slaves around the world. Indeed, in the US alone, there are hundreds of thousands of trafficking victims. Traffickers find their victims in a range of places, from shopping malls to schools, and the majority of slaves are women and children. However, the crime can be hard to spot, which is why TAT’s work is so vital.

Today, Kimmel is an important voice in the campaign to raise awareness of the trafficking issue. He now talks about his experiences at anti-trafficking events nationwide. What’s more, he wants other truck drivers to be vigilant too. “Traffickers are constantly moving these people. They stay in the darkness.

That’s why they can’t be anywhere too long,” Kimmel told CNN in April 2017. “But when you’re moving them, then you come into my world. If we know the signs and we’re vigilant, then we can make a big piece of this problem go away.” So not only did Kimmel manage to save one girl from a horrific fate at the hands of traffickers, but he’s now also helping others. After all, the more truckers he can get on board, the fewer places where culprits can go unseen.

And anything that makes their lives harder has got to be a good thing.

Nicola and Todd Bailey, a British couple from Sheffield, had a cozy life with their four-year-old son, Lucas. However, a deep-seated desire to expand their family was always on their minds.

Nicola, who worked part-time as a nurse at a community health center, and Todd, an experienced real estate agent, were financially secure and eager to bring more children into their world.

One summer evening, sitting on their porch, Nicola and Todd found themselves discussing their future. Their conversation centered on Lucas, their beloved son, and the possibility of him having siblings.

Nicola had been an only child herself and understood the occasional loneliness that came with it. She didn’t want Lucas to grow up alone, and so the idea of having more children resonated strongly with her…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Their hearts full of love for Lucas and a desire to see him enjoy the unique bond of having siblings, they decided to expand their family. Todd enthusiastically expressed his desire to build a larger family with Nicola, who he adored deeply.

The couple spent the rest of that night dreaming about their future children and how they would play together in their garden. Little did they know their dreams would soon become a reality.

The Baileys didn’t have to wait long for their lives to be filled with joy. A mere five months after that heartfelt conversation, Nicola had a dizzying moment. She collapsed to the floor and was immediately rushed to the hospital. While Todd was initially concerned, they quickly discovered the cause of her dizziness – she was pregnant.

Ecstatic, they returned home and immediately shared the joyful news with Lucas. He was thrilled to learn that he would soon be a big brother.

The prospect of having a sibling filled him with excitement, and he bombarded his parents with questions about his unborn sibling. The family was enveloped in happiness, their hearts full of anticipation for the new addition.

However, their journey was not without its challenges. During her pregnancy, Nicola started to feel unwell. She became incredibly fatigued, experienced frequent dizziness, and her body felt unusually heavy.

As a nurse, she recognized that something was amiss and insisted that Todd take her to the hospital. This decision likely saved their unborn daughters’ lives. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

After a series of tests at the hospital, Nicola received unexpected news – she was pregnant with twins. The couple was overjoyed and promptly made the announcement to their son, Lucas. They explained that they were going to have twin sisters and received an enthusiastic response. Lucas was delighted by the thought of becoming a big brother to not one but two siblings.

Nicola’s pregnancy, however, became fraught with challenges. She had to be placed on bed rest, a tough task for someone as active as she was. The safety of both the mother and her twin daughters was of paramount concern, and the doctors ensured that she was in good hands.

Through her prenatal care, the Baileys learned the gender of their twins. They were to have two baby girls, and Nicola immediately knew what she wanted to name them – Harper and Quinn. Their hearts swelled with excitement as they envisioned the future of their family with their two daughters.

However, the story took an unexpected turn 38 minutes after Harper’s birth. The doctor returned to Nicola’s room with a solemn expression and revealed that Harper had Down syndrome, a genetic disorder. Nicola and Todd hadn’t known that their daughter had Down syndrome during the pregnancy, and this news was a revelation.

Though this revelation could have dampened their spirits, Nicola, a nurse with experience in caring for children with Down syndrome, welcomed it with open arms. Her knowledge and experience provided a unique perspective.

She knew that Harper would be unique in her own way and understood that Down syndrome would not limit her daughter’s potential or happiness. The couple decided to raise their daughters equally, ensuring Harper would receive the support she needed to thrive.

Despite the unexpected news, their love for Harper remained unconditional. Her condition didn’t change the way they saw her. Nicola and Todd went on to create an Instagram account to share their family’s journey. It became a platform for Nicola to raise awareness about Down syndrome, dispel societal prejudices, and, most importantly, share the joy of their growing family.

As they journeyed forward, the family embraced the uniqueness of their situation. Their story is a testament to the power of love and acceptance. Harper, Quinn, and Lucas are indeed a unique and loving family, demonstrating that love knows no genetic boundaries.

Nicola and Todd wouldn’t change their family for the world. They are proud of their unique and beautiful family, which has redefined their understanding of love and acceptance.

Chick-fil-A is known for caring about the community wherever the restaurant is located.

Many of the managers hold fundraisers for organizations and people who are in need as well as those who are sick or who have lost family members and need a helping hand.

Meeting someone who is homeless often strikes a nerve to do something to try to help for many people. There are also those who tend to avoid helping the homeless.

One man stumbled into a Chick-fil-A in Tennessee, possibly looking for something to drink or just to get away from being outside for just a few moments.

The manager decided to do something a little special for the man.

When the homeless man entered the restaurant, he wanted to try to get a few scraps that would otherwise be thrown away…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

He wasn’t asking for money and didn’t ask the customers for any kind of assistance.

When he left the restaurant, he had a huge smile on his face because of the actions of the manager.

While the interaction was taking place, a father and his daughter were enjoying a meal at a nearby table. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The father made a social media post about the story so that others might be able to see how the homeless are treated and how simple actions can make a difference.

The daughter decided to trade the toy from her meal for ice cream.

As they waited for a few minutes for her ice cream to be prepared, they saw the exchange between the manager and the homeless man.

The man was wearing muddy shoes and looked tired. Most of the people in the restaurant tried to stay away from him.

Soon after the man entered the building, the manager talked to him and explained that he wanted to help. He was given a full meal instead of the scraps that he wanted.

The manager also prayed with the homeless man, touching his shoulder so that he would feel as though someone cared.

For some managers, they could have sent the man away, but this manager made a difference if only for a few moments in time.
