John,

We need your help now more than ever. This is an unprecedented time and we are doing all that we can to make sure we do our part to be good community partners. Our staff will be working remotely to comply with COVID-19 safety regulations. We will still respond to all outreach as quickly as possible, and we appreciate your support as we adjust to this rapidly changing situation.

A crucial part of our work is partnering with schools and youth-serving agencies to provide classroom and community presentations to help protect kids from being groomed for sex trafficking. Schools in Washington are closing for several weeks and we want our supporters to know that, although our work has to look a little different, it will not stop. Our communities are facing unique challenges, and many youth and their families are faced with financial and safety struggles. We know that exploitation thrives on unmet needs, so this is a critical time to provide resources and skills for youth and their families.

We are developing plans to provide our important work to support communities and prevent kids from being trafficked. We are reaching out to ask for your support during this time of crisis so we can keep kids in our community engaged. You can help make this possible by donating now.

Our preliminary plans include:

• Developing a plan to engage students, families, educators, and community members online with the goal of reaching as many people as possible across the state.
• Partnering with other nonprofits and organizations to increase our impact and provide local community resources to struggling families.

Our goal remains unchanged: to reduce the risks of exploitation through education and prevention. We are going to be tested to think outside of the box and we need your support to make this possible.

Thank you so much for your support in this time,

Kyra Doubek
