How to Donate to the Jaycee Dugard Trust Fund

The kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Dugard took place on June 10, 1991. Dugard was abducted from a school bus stop, which was within sight of her home in South Lake Tahoe, California. She was abducted at the age of 11 and was reported missing for over 18 years. On August 26, 2009, Dugard appeared in the office of her alleged kidnapper's parole officer in California, and on August 27, 2009 her true identity was confirmed.

Law enforcement officers believe that Dugard was kept in a concealed area behind Phillip Garrido's house in Antioch, California, where she had remained for 18 years. Dugard had become pregnant at age 14, and conceived two daughters during this time. She had reportedly told a neighbor that she was their older sister. Phillip Craig Garrido, 58, and his wife Nancy Garrido, 55, of Antioch, California were arrested for kidnapping and other charges.
