Kathleen Delgado speaks with friends at a fundraiser held at El Mariachi Mexican Restaurant for the nonprofit El Pozo de Vida on Sept. 9. Delgado, a Wareham native, and her husband Oscar work for the Mexico-based organization that works to stop human trafficking.

With ticket sales and raffle prizes donated by local businesses, the Delgados raised more than $5,000 that will go towards a new aftercare home for girls and women leaving prostitution.
