Fellow American, 

A child should fall asleep on Christmas Eve listening for reindeer hooves… 

Not to footsteps in the hallway outside a locked room. 

Right now through December 31, your gift to the Sound of Freedom Foundation will be MATCHED—dollar for dollar—so you can do DOUBLE the good for God’s children.  

But this opportunity ends at midnight on December 31. 

My name is Eduardo Verástegui. 

I produced the film Sound of Freedom, and I now serve as President of the Sound of Freedom Foundation. 

I want you to know: 

I've given my life to fight for God’s children who are trapped in the nightmare of sex trafficking. 

Right now, while families are hanging lights and wrapping presents, there are children who don’t even know what day it is. 

They are far from home. 

No tree. No lights. No family. 

Only the constant terror of being used, bought, and sold by adults who see them as a product — not as sons and daughters. 

Some parents are staring at an empty seat at the table this Christmas. 
A stocking that will stay limp. 
A bed that’s made… and cold. 

That is the brutal reality of child sex trafficking. 

And this Christmas, I’m asking you to do something beautiful and bold: help bring a child home for Christmas.

If you watched Sound of Freedom and thought, “I wish there were something real I could do,” this is that moment. 

Because a movie is not enough. 

We needed a mission. 

All of this flows from one unshakable conviction... 

God’s children are NOT for sale. 

And here is something I need you to understand: we cannot do any of this without people like you. 

Every investigation we help fuel… 
every safe bed prepared for the moment a child walks free… 
every trauma counselor who sits with a survivor as the nightmares spill out…
every step toward healing and restoration… 

All of it depends on someone deciding: “Not on my watch. Not this Christmas.” 

That’s you. 

When you give, you step into the story as the hero. We are simply the guide—connecting your courage and generosity to children who need it most. 

And right now, your compassion goes twice as far. 

Give before December 31 and your gift is matched dollar for dollar.

I want you to picture a moment with me. 

A child has been rescued. 

For the first time in a long time, they sleep in a safe bed. They wake up to soft light instead of harsh neon. 
Someone tells them, “You’re safe now. No one here will hurt you.” 

Behind the scenes, a team is working—confirming identities, contacting authorities, and searching for family members who have been praying, weeping, and waiting. 

Sometimes it takes months. 
Sometimes years. 

Then one day, in an airport or at a border crossing, a door opens… a mother sees the child she thought was gone forever...

there are no speeches, no cameras—just tears, shaking shoulders, and a whispered, “Thank You, God.” 

This is the kind of miracle your generosity can help make possible. 

Not every reunion happens exactly on December 25th. But the heart of Christmas—God stepping into our darkness and bringing His children home—is what drives everything we do. 

Traffickers don’t take holidays off. 
So we can’t either. 

That’s why I’m asking you—urgently and personally—to make your year-end gift before midnight on December 31, while it will still be doubled. 

Because somewhere, right now, there is a child who feels utterly forgotten. 

Your gift is a message that whispers into that darkness: 

“I see you. I’m fighting for you. I’m helping bring you home.” 

Will you help bring a child home for Christmas?

With gratitude,

Eduardo Verástegui 
Sound of Freedom, Producer 
For the Sound of Freedom Foundation

P.S. The match ends December 31 at midnight. Please give now so your gift will be doubled.
