Trafficking survivors need your help.

Dear Friend,
Human trafficking survivors are struggling now more than ever due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Undocumented and youth survivors did not receive stimulus checks and are not able to access unemployment benefits. Many survivors have lost their jobs, and those with jobs are struggling to work while also caring for their children while schools are closed. Some survivors are facing eviction due to the loss of jobs or reduction in pay.
Even during normal times, survivors face a precarious financial position long after the trafficking experience. Due to the nature of the crime, trafficking survivors are generally left without identity documents, immigration status, savings, job training, credit history, and rental history. Instead, they carry the weight of trauma, debt, medical and mental health challenges, criminal histories forced by the trafficker, and substance abuse. The current pandemic is only exacerbating the hardships survivors endure.
In a time of financial and medical crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, without immediate support, trafficking survivors will be quickly pushed from precarious survival to homelessness.
This is why I am reaching out to you to ask that you donate today to Freedom Network USA's Survivor Relief Fund. Your gift today will go directly in the pockets of human trafficking survivors who are struggling to stay home, stay safe, and access critical medical care and support during this pandemic.
Help survivors stay on their feet. Make a donation today. With your support we can continue to champion freedom and opportunity for trafficking survivors during this crisis.
In partnership,
Jean Bruggeman
Executive Director
