World Day Against Trafficking

Dear Friends,

Today is World Day Against Trafficking. https://www.un.org/en/observances/end-human-trafficking-day

Over the last couple of months, I have learned more about this very serious issue. It is absolutely heartbreaking and although it is hard to read the stories and statistics, I feel it is my responsibility as an adult to face this issue head-on.

Today’s post will hopefully encourage you to educate yourself as well (If you haven’t already) on what you can do and how you can help.

As we know, all children deserve to be safe, all children deserve to be protected, all children deserve to be rescued, and all children deserve to feel valued and cherished.

Please do what you can to help spread awareness and support those who are on the ground actively fighting these monsters! Below you will see many links to different organizations that I have found to be valuable. Please click on a few of these to take a step further towards helping children here in America and all over the world. Thank you!

I hope this post inspires you to learn more, help spread awareness, and hopefully donate either your time or money or both! And as always—be sure to pray for the abused children and those warriors who are actively trying to save them! God answers prayers.🙏

XO- Kerry
