Melisa Mel’s continuing adventures volunteering with vulnerable populations are narrated here. Victims and Survivors 2 is as emotionally enlightening about human nature as Victims and Survivors was when she published it last year. Clearly, there is much work to be done in the city streets. This author is willing and prepared to do it.
Melisa Mel has spent endless hours reaching out to those who felt trampled, violated, and dehumanized. By using her time and energy, she worked toward her goal of supporting and giving a ray of hope to those she encountered. She plans to continue using her free time volunteering to the highest degree possible on her limited free time. Her stories are recorded here so that we can all get a glimpse of what life is like for many of those in our society.
There is much work to be done. Human trafficking and sex trafficking are very real and very present in our society. There is much need for those who are strong and have empathy to go out and advocate for those who are not yet strong enough to do so for themselves. Together, a shift in thinking and a major change can occur.

The year this book was published brought many changes to the author. After ten years teaching in public schools, she has transitioned out of her role in a severe disabilities special education classroom. She now teaches full-time as a sexual violence services coordinator. While her “students” are still made up of those who are very vulnerable, her “classroom” is now found in shelters, jails, hospitals, support groups, advocacy centers, police stations, and anywhere else she finds those who have been sexually violated.
In 2014, Melisa Mel’s extensive work with crime victims nominated her for the National Crime Victim’s Service Award through the US Office for Victims of Crime. She felt honored to be nominated for such an honor.
