Dear Friend,
Thank you to everyone who has donated to the Survivor Relief Fund so far! To date we've raised almost $50,000 to help trafficking survivors impacted by the Covid pandemic. However, we still have a lot of work to do to make sure the need is met. We are trying to help 10 more survivors this month so we need to raise another $3,000 by October 31st. Please consider making a donation today.
Freedom Network USA has been assisting survivors through this relief fund since May. Here's a quick update on what we've accomplished together so far. Since the start of the program, we've assisted over 120 survivors of human trafficking! We are helping survivors all across the country meet their basic needs as we all continue to struggle through this pandemic.
Who are we helping? Here's some data about the survivors who have received funds so far:
Almost half of the awards are going to survivors who exited their trafficking situation over 5 years ago. These are people who had reached a level of stability but are now struggling due to Covid.
57% of the funds are being used to assist Hispanic/Latinx survivors. We know that immigrant survivors are in an especially hard position as they are not eligible for government assistance like unemployment and stimulus checks.
