John,

If you’re seeking stories of hope today, I’ve got some!
 
While our families, communities, and country continue journeying through these strange and difficult times, I want to remind you, through this Action Report, that the impact of your giving and prayers does not stop.
 
Together, we’re making a difference for survivors, providing protection and giving them hope.
 
At every level — in states across the nation, in Washington, D.C., and in vulnerable places around the globe — your support empowers our fight to end sex trafficking…




Thanks to the incredible support of friends like you, our new “mission control” center, the Shared Hope Institute for Justice & Advocacy in Washington, D.C., opened its doors January 23, 2020. Our goal is to amplify our collective voice in the nation’s capital to end sex trafficking. Even now in the midst of global disruption, the work of the Institute is digging deeper and working more aggressively in the fight for justice on behalf of victims of child sex trafficking…

Simple, but powerful. It’s the way your love is changing lives and bringing restoration to those who have survived and are thriving and overcoming the darkness of sex trafficking. It’s what you did for one of the youngest survivors receiving care and services through our partner program — a girl who loves unicorns…

You already know that survivors and those at risk of commercial sexual exploitation are an especially vulnerable population that already and disproportionately experience underemployment, reduced access to quality physical and mental healthcare, housing insecurity, and limited educational opportunities…
Prevent. Restore. Bring Justice.
 
These actions are the very heart of our mission — and what you’re making possible through your generous support for Shared Hope.
 
Thank you again for standing firm with us in this battle to slay the giant of sex trafficking and give hope to vulnerable adults, children, and youth.
 
Linda Smith
Founder and President
