What will your generosity do?

It will transform lives, like Sandy’s. Here’s just a bit of her story:

"I was raised by a single mom who ruled with an iron fist.

I was a straight-A honor roll student but I had to be the best, so my mother could get the glory.

I received beatings, emotional abuse, and never felt good enough.

At age 14, my mom decided to give me away to foster care. I didn’t know how to deal with the pain, so I ran away.

Within 48 hours, I met the 35-year-old woman who would become my first trafficker.

For nine months, she used me to financially support herself and her drug habit. I was a captive child and nobody came to rescue me.

One day, my trafficker forced me to inhale from a crack pipe. I overdosed. I woke up on the floor with her yelling,

“You better be happy you didn’t die on my carpet, or I would have thrown you in the alley like the worthless garbage you are.”

Something rose up in me that day. I knew if I stayed I would die, so I ran for my life in the night. I escaped, but I wasn’t Sandy anymore.

I had been so conditioned that I continued to use the identity given to me by my trafficker. I lived my teen years in and out of foster homes, in shelters and on park benches.

Sometimes I would be under the control of a pimp, and sometimes not. It was a revolving door of exploitation.

I was finally able to get free after finding myself at rock bottom. But escape was only the beginning.

The trauma a survivor faces after escape is stronger than any physical restraint could ever be.

After many years, I still have daily battles to overcome as a result of what I endured.

With Exodus Cry’s help, I've been in therapy now for two months and the sessions have been invaluable to my healing journey. I'm so grateful. It's quite literally changing my life!"
