Hi, I just wanted to come and talk about the
- 00:04 - 00:05
dangers of delivering pizza.
- 00:07 - 00:11
So delivering pizzas can be really fun and I have
- 00:11 - 00:15
a lot of super like weird and crazy stories, but
- 00:16 - 00:19
sometimes it's a little scary or you get in these
- 00:19 - 00:21
really awkward or uncomfortable positions.
- 00:22 - 00:27
And one time I went to go deliver pizza to
- 00:27 - 00:31
a man in a hotel and you know, you could
- 00:31 - 00:34
tell you has been drinking a little bit, but you
- 00:34 - 00:35
know, everybody drinks.
- 00:36 - 00:37
So it wasn't that big of a deal.
- 00:38 - 00:40
And I gave him his food and he asked me
- 00:41 - 00:43
like what bars were in town and like where's a
- 00:43 - 00:44
good place to party?
- 00:44 - 00:45
And of course it's like a small town.
- 00:46 - 00:47
So there's not very many options.
- 00:48 - 00:51
And after I told him a few, he asked if
- 00:51 - 00:53
I wanted to join him in his room and quote
- 00:54 - 00:58
unquote, eat pizza and I proceeded to tell him no
- 00:59 - 01:00
and that, you know, I was going to get in
- 01:00 - 01:02
trouble for being late to the store, which isn't true,
- 01:02 - 01:04
I just felt really uncomfortable and I didn't really know
- 01:05 - 01:08
what else to say and you continue to try to
- 01:08 - 01:10
get me to come in and like kind of tried
- 01:10 - 01:12
to touch my arm and stuff and so eventually I
- 01:12 - 01:14
just turned around and walked away and I felt really
- 01:15 - 01:16
uncomfortable and weird about the whole situation.
- 01:18 - 01:22
So I'm not saying that I thought that I was
- 01:22 - 01:26
being trafficked or like that I was going to be
- 01:26 - 01:28
kidnapped, but it was just a really uncomfortable situation and
- 01:28 - 01:31
got me thinking that this is a situation that people
- 01:31 - 01:36
might use to get people and sell them into sex
- 01:36 - 01:39
trafficking. So I just wanted to bring awareness to this
- 01:39 - 01:43
topic and you know, So here are some facts that
- 01:43 - 01:43
I found.
- 01:44 - 01:47
Um it's estimated that 20 million to 40 million people
- 01:48 - 01:53
um are involved in modern day slavery And traffickers earn
- 01:53 - 01:57
about $150 billion dollars a year just selling people, which
- 01:57 - 01:59
to me is like an insane amount of money.
- 02:00 - 02:04
And 71 of enslaved people are women or girls, while
- 02:05 - 02:06
29 our boys were men.
- 02:08 - 02:11
And the average age that someone enters sex trafficking in
- 02:11 - 02:13
the United States is 12 to 14 years old.
- 02:14 - 02:17
And there were other facts that said that, you know,
- 02:18 - 02:21
they try to target people who look sad or lost
- 02:21 - 02:25
or runaways or people who don't have anywhere to go.
- 02:26 - 02:29
Um, they also try to target people that are gay
- 02:30 - 02:30
or transgender.
- 02:31 - 02:35
I don't know why, but maybe like people, that's what
- 02:35 - 02:35
people want.
- 02:37 - 02:40
Um, and I included the link where I found these
- 02:41 - 02:42
facts and there are some more if you are interested
- 02:43 - 02:43
in looking.
- 02:45 - 02:49
So I just wanted to find some other delivery drivers
- 02:49 - 02:53
stories and just show that this is like not like
- 02:53 - 02:55
a common problem but that this does happen to a
- 02:55 - 02:59
lot of people and just you know delivery drivers are
- 03:01 - 03:04
like put in danger and like just weird things happen
- 03:04 - 03:05
to them all the time.
- 03:06 - 03:09
So the first story I found was this driver had
- 03:09 - 03:12
to deliver a pizza in the middle of a hurricane
- 03:13 - 03:16
and you know obviously hurricanes going on, the delivery time
- 03:16 - 03:18
is going to be a long time and the person
- 03:18 - 03:20
who ordered the pizza was just calling all the time
- 03:21 - 03:22
and complaining about how long it was taking.
- 03:24 - 03:27
And then finally they got their order and they tipped
- 03:28 - 03:31
their delivery driver $1, you know what's the middle of
- 03:31 - 03:31
a hurricane?
- 03:33 - 03:37
Um The next one is, I'm assuming it's a girl
- 03:38 - 03:40
just based on the story, but I could be wrong
- 03:40 - 03:43
and so I'm just going to refer to her as
- 03:43 - 03:47
she. And so she had to go to a construction
- 03:48 - 03:53
site and um she gave the construction workers of Pizza
- 03:54 - 03:56
and instead of just handing her the money, the construction
- 03:56 - 04:00
worker proceeded to stick his hands down her pants in
- 04:00 - 04:00
her pocket.
- 04:01 - 04:06
But obviously trying to like grab her like feel around
- 04:07 - 04:07
and stuff.
- 04:08 - 04:10
And the last one is about skeleton man.
- 04:10 - 04:14
And when the driver got to the door she said
- 04:14 - 04:17
that he looked like his skin was all yellow and
- 04:17 - 04:22
gross and he tried to jump at her and kind
- 04:22 - 04:25
of like attack her in a way and just for
- 04:25 - 04:26
no random reason.
- 04:28 - 04:32
So I found these foundations because I liked kind of
- 04:33 - 04:33
the message that they gave.
- 04:34 - 04:36
So the first one that I found is called Children
- 04:36 - 04:38
of the Night and I really like them because they
- 04:38 - 04:41
are non profit and they helped save young men and
- 04:41 - 04:42
women who are fleeing prostitution.
- 04:44 - 04:47
I really like them because they have saved over 11,000
- 04:47 - 04:50
people from prostitution or sex trafficking.
- 04:51 - 04:53
And that's more than any nonprofit like combined.
- 04:54 - 04:57
And I also like to polaris because they do a
- 04:57 - 05:01
really good job of spreading information and they are also
- 05:01 - 05:04
non profit and they just have a lot of articles
- 05:05 - 05:06
that you wouldn't really think of.
- 05:06 - 05:09
Like when I went and visited the website, the main
- 05:09 - 05:13
article was about how police officers are also sexually abusing
- 05:14 - 05:17
people that they are rescuing from sex trafficking, which just
- 05:17 - 05:19
blows my mind that people would do that.
- 05:20 - 05:22
But I provided the links and if you guys would
- 05:22 - 05:25
like to donate some money to help you know, fight
- 05:26 - 05:29
this and save more people than that would be awesome.
- 05:30 - 05:31
And thank you so much for listening.
