OUR IMPACT

Our Impact

Child trafficking is a $9.5 billion+ industry in the U.S.

THE PROBLEM

Child Trafficking is a Hidden Crisis

Behind closed doors and in plain sight, thousands of children are being exploited every year—many without even realizing they are victims. Traffickers prey on vulnerabilities, using manipulation, coercion, and violence to trap children in a cycle of abuse.

This crisis thrives in silence, but together, we can break it. Your support, for their healing.

You can Help

Without your support...

the average lifespan of a trafficked youth is just 24 years old.

Stories of Courage and Healing

With a knife, she carved the word "forgotten" onto her arm. Desperate to escape her situation, she told our team, "I want to get out but don't know how to make money legally."

...she began to sexually exploit Liam by introducing him to her "friends" who like to "have fun together."

The eldest sister in this situation was dating a pedophile. Devoted to him, she didn't object to his idea to meet her younger sisters-and their friends.
