From the Desk of the CEOs: Restore Hope for Trafficking Survivors

One More Child is serving more trafficked children than ever before, and we want to be certain that the ministry we offer is never interrupted. We need $200,000 to provide critical care to survivors of trafficking — and we need your help!

Did you know that in 2023 alone, the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline reported 16,999 individual victims of human trafficking? In the last six months of 2024, One More Child’s Anti-Trafficking team identified and served over 719 victims — nearly the same amount as the entire year before.

The number of survivors that we serve through our Anti-Trafficking program is staggering and continues to grow as we expand our services. My heart breaks as I think of the one — the one more child or woman still suffering and hopeless, wondering if anyone will help.

One More Child’s response is a resounding, “Yes, we see you and we are here to help.” We are committed to identifying and inviting trafficking victims into hope and healing. For Serene*, the moment her abuse was identified marked the beginning of her transformation.

During a trafficking sting operation, law enforcement arrested Serene and her trafficker. One More Child’s Anti-Trafficking team was on the ground and able to support Serene. Initially, Serene did not see her situation as one of exploitation — she had come to accept it as a normal part of her life. But with compassionate care and support, she began to see the truth.

Our team was with Serene every step of the way as she fought for justice. She not only found a path to safety but also found hope and restoration through God’s love and your help! Today, Serene has transformed into an advocate, using her story to help others who have been victimized by sex trafficking.

It is through your generosity that we can continue to offer life-changing support to survivors like Serene. Here are some examples of how your gift can impact a trafficking survivor with God’s love:

• $25 covers immediate needs (food, clothing, supplies)
• $50 provides transportation to critical appointments
• $100 offers essential documentation (birth certificates, IDs)
• $250 supports education programs (GED, ESOL, books)
• $500 funds trauma-informed care from licensed clinicians
• $1,000 provides mental health counseling

Thanks to the incredible generosity of a partner, we have received a $100,000 matching gift! Every dollar of your gift to One More Chid’s Anti-Trafficking program will be matched to provide critical anti-trafficking services. Yes, your impact will be doubled for trafficking survivors!

Together, we can make a lasting impact for trafficking survivors! Will you commit to making your best financial gift today, reaching further to help restore hope for even more victims of sex trafficking?

Thank you for your compassion and commitment to join One More Child in the fight to end child sex trafficking!
