Kristen's legacy
Kristen's story has touched families, advocates, and communities far beyond Texas. AAST Texas was formed to ensure that her name is connected not only to tragedy, but also to courage, awareness, and lasting change.
By sharing Kristen's story responsibly, we hope to help families recognize danger sooner, encourage communities to take trafficking seriously, and inspire people to protect those who may not yet be able to protect themselves.
“Honor Kristen. Protect the vulnerable.”
