Luisa remembers a particular client’s story. This woman came from Guatemala and ended up traveling with her daughter and three coyotes. The men were planning on raping her and her daughter, and the woman knew she wasn’t safe and had to escape.
She pretended to be very sick and begged one of the men to take her to the pharmacy. Her real plan was to buy something to drug the men. She went into the pharmacy and instead of buying medicine for herself, bought sleep medicine. Meanwhile one of the men was waiting at the doorway watching her, but trying not to look too suspicious.
That night, she offered to make the men coffee and in doing so she slipped the sleeping pills into the drinks. They slept real well, and the woman and daughter were able to escape. God gave her the wits to survive that night unharmed. She eventually came to live at House of Ruth, where she received the support and safety that she needed.
