Help us in winning the battle to restore lost children

OUR MISSION: FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM, RESTORING OUR CHILDREN

In today’s world, our children’s hope for a bright future stands as a beacon of light, illuminating the path to a brighter tomorrow. But in the shadows, evil threatens to extinguish these precious lights, enslaving innocent minds before they can fully blossom.

This evil is not merely ‘human trafficking’; it is current day slavery that preys on the most innocent and vulnerable children, exploiting their innocence and reducing them to mere commodities.

This crisis is not a political issue. This crisis is a public safety issue. And a mental health issue.

We stand at a crossroads today, where we can either turn a blind eye or rise up as a ray of sunshine for these vulnerable children. Our choice is clear: we must join forces to identify, rescue and rehabilitate these stolen children, giving them a chance to heal, rebuild, and embrace a brighter future.

Join us in the fight for freedom today.

One Child’s Story

On a beautiful sunny day, little 9-year-old Sheila was innocently playing outside on the school playground. Running to chase a ball that got close to the street, she was suddenly snatched by a man in a black vehicle, who sped off before anyone could save her. The police arrived on the scene and began their search for Sheila, but without success.

Three months later, officials got a hot tip that led them to another state where law enforcement was able to devise a rescue plan from the home where she was held captive. When officials arrived, they found Sheila in a hidden part of the house and returned her to her family, but by then the damage had already been done.

After being kidnapped, abused and tormented by her perpetrators, Sheila did eventually recover physically, but the emotional scars still remained. And unfortunately, this story is just one of countless other devastating stories of child abuse here in the U.S. and abroad.
