“I won’t be able to forget what they did to me, but I will be relieved if I know that they’ll be in prison and not be able to do it to other children.”

– ALEJANDRO | A YOUTH IN THE SURVIVOR CARE OF LOVE146

These powerful words from *Alejandro, a boy in our care, remind me how important justice is in the healing process. Some survivors seek not just to recover,  but also to make sure their traffickers are held accountable—so that no other child goes through what they did.


Our holistic survivor care makes sure young people receive help in every part of their journey after trafficking. This work requires consistent support. Your generosity helps ensure that survivors never have to face these hurdles alone. Whether it’s securing their immediate safety, walking through trauma, or supporting their fight for justice, you make that possible for kids like Alejandro. Thank you!

Will you join us in continuing this vital work to help more children? Every contribution makes a difference.

To seek justice after a child's been exploited, your support will:

  • Help youth and their caregivers set up protective orders and navigate safety as they pursue justice and move forward in their lives.

  • Ensure safe transportation and accompaniment for court appearances, so a child never has to face their abuser alone.

  • Provide trauma-informed support to help a child process and prepare for the emotional weight of giving a deposition or testifying.

  • Connect youth to legal advocacy services to explore legal options, protect their rights and amplify their voice as they pursue justice.

  • Guarantee that a trusted advocate is present in the courtroom to stand by a child’s side during every step of the legal process, no matter how long it takes.

  • Sustain ongoing support long after the trial ends, helping children navigate the lasting impacts of the legal process and continue their journey of healing.


Your support means children like Alejandro don’t have to face this alone. Thank you for helping them find safety, justice, and the strength to keep moving forward.
