Unlikely Heros

I would like to share an amazing story with you today – the story of hope, redemption, and a future given back. Three years ago we rescued Jenny, a young 15 year old, from a brothel in the Philippines.
Sold into slavery by family members, this precious girl began working in the brothel at age 12 in order to survive. She felt as though she was living like a stray animal; only owning one set of clothes and being prostituted for each meal.

This last spring, Jenny graduated from high school and gave the opening address at her graduation ceremony. (Picture above) When I asked her if she felt nervous before giving her speech, she replied: “No! I am confident!” If only you could have seen the joy on her face! You make turnarounds like this possible.

Over the past year, we have been working tirelessly to rescue and care for children all over the world. In April, because of our focus on holistic rehabilitation we were called into action to provide on the ground support in Nigeria. Our work included: trauma counseling, safety, and medical services to the Chibok schoolgirls who escaped from the mass kidnapping and to the traumatized parents, who are still waiting to see the return of their daughters. December 18 marks the 292th day of captivity for these precious young girls.

Together, our efforts are making a tremendous difference in the lives of the children we've rescued. We now have 4 homes located in 3 nations – the Philippines, Thailand and Mexico. In March, we opened a brand new home built from the ground up in the Philippines. This is a direct result of your generosity!

We have so much to celebrate, but we know that the road to freedom for so many has yet to be paved. All of our restoration homes are ready to grow and expand – and we urgently need your help to rescue more children from a life filled with suffering. Please consider making a year-end donation today or increasing your monthly support to help us continue our work.

We have a pressing need for $50,000 to fund 10 new beds, which will allow us to immediately rescue 10 more children from sex slavery for one year. $5,000 sponsors one child for a year. 
$416 rescues one child from sex slavery for one month and provides safe housing, food, education, medical care, trauma therapy & LOVE!

Can you imagine 10 more children rescued out of a life of terror? I am asking you now to look deep inside your heart and to give the gift of life to a child who is in desperate need of freedom. Please give today and together we will bring a child home so they never have to experience the pain of a holiday alone again.

Thank you for believing in us; your support will help make every rescue possible. You really have become a part of our history and we are so grateful for you!
