John,

What does it look like for survivors of human trafficking to thrive? 

Here’s what the Polaris Resilience Fund Advisory Council and I say:

We are securely rooted in our community. 

We have enough resources to be present without grief, fear, or restraint from the past.

We can make our own choices, pursue our goals for the future, and dream. 

This is what we envision for ourselves and our fellow survivors. But too many still struggle to find housing, jobs, and financial stability — even decades after leaving a trafficking situation.

Will you help change that?

Starting tonight through tomorrow, Giving Tuesday, help Polaris unlock an extra $75,000 in matching funds to TRIPLE your impact for survivors.

This summer, Polaris’s community rallied to launch the Resilience Fund, which started sending monthly cash assistance to the first 24 survivors this fall. Their stories are varied, as you can see in this snapshot:

No two survivors are the same. And our healing journeys look different too. The Resilience Fund enables each survivor to make their own choices about how to meet their needs — a major step toward their vision of thriving. 

Will you make that opportunity possible for more survivors?

Polaris is getting ready to open applications for future cohorts next year. The greater your generosity, the more survivors we can support!

And this Giving Tuesday, your gift will go three times as far in offering this incredible opportunity to survivors on their journeys to thriving.

P.S. Giving Tuesday starts now! Every $1 you give becomes $3 to help survivors meet their needs and continue to heal.
