“We asked LIFT3’s Executive Director why there were so many transactions at
hair salons, nail salons, grocery stores, and other vendors that did not appear to be
consistent with LIFT3’s purpose. On March 19, 2015, LIFT3’s Executive Director
stated that the organization would sometimes help the victim get their hair or nails
done to make them feel good about themselves. Contrary to her statement, we
interviewed former employees who stated to their knowledge LIFT3 never took
clients to, or paid for services at, hair and nail salons. The former employees
stated that sometimes those vendors would donate their services to the clients, but
LIFT3 never directly paid for the services.”
