A Minnesota-based company that offered a reward for the whereabouts of Jayme Closs, a 13-year-old who was abducted in October, announced that it will give her the money after she freed herself.

“Our hope is that a trust fund can be used for Jayme’s needs today and in the future,” Jennie-O Turkey Store president Steve Lykken said in a statement released Wednesday.

“Her bravery and strength have truly inspired our team members around the world,” said Jim Snee, president and CEO of parent company Hormel Foods.
