John,

As a Hotline Advocate at Polaris, I’m part of the team that helps victims and survivors of trafficking 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

That team includes my fellow advocates, who answer calls, texts, chats, emails, and webforms with me. It includes the 3,100+ local service providers and law-enforcement agencies in our nationwide database who are eager to serve people in their communities.

And that team includes YOU.

Will you join us in making sure everyone who contacts us can find help — and hope?

Until May 31, every $1 you give becomes $2 to connect victims and survivors to the services and supports they need.

Every day, I see how this work takes a team effort. Recently, I answered a call from a survivor who needed housing but lived in a remote area. On an initial scan, the closest service provider was 150 miles away.

But she stuck with it, and so did I. We sifted through 15 other organizations — and the last one had space for her!

I may not be single-handedly taking down traffickers. But I know that I’m playing my part in making a difference. So are our partners — from shelters to legal-aid providers to law enforcement.

Will you play your part, too?

Your generosity ensures we have Hotline Advocates available 24/7/365. It enables us to find and stay in touch with local partners to provide referrals across the country. And it raises awareness of the Trafficking Hotline so we can reach those still in need.

No matter how hard my day is, I know that our team’s impact is far greater together than anything we can do on our own. If you believe that, too, I invite you to make a gift and double your impact this month!

P.S. This is an amazing opportunity to make an even greater difference for the victims and survivors we support. Give by May 31 to take advantage of this special match!
