Dear John,
No child is safe.
Predators aim to be where your children are right now: online, in chat rooms, on popular apps, playing all the popular games.
But we’re there, too.
By God’s grace and thanks to your partnership, Shared Hope is doing everything in our power to expand our internet safety efforts and protect children and youth from exploitation.
- We are sounding the alarm and providing crucial new Internet Safety Tools to equip you and your child to recognize and resist the advances of predators.
- We are working to drive state legislative action and national change.
- We are transforming lives — working with community-based partners to provide comprehensive services to survivors.
- And invading the darkness of the online world where predators are connecting with our kids.
In all of this and more, I ask you to continue to stand with us — and help us sustain our fight against sex trafficking, especially in these strange and difficult times.
Predators are able to take advantage of the fact that the pandemic has placed more children online more hours per week — in order to lure and exploit them.
But we’ve produced an Internet Safety Back to School! Webinar Series, where law enforcement, survivors, medical professionals, and leading field experts come together to give parents and students valuable, practical guidance.
Even better, we created a webinar that speaks directly to youth by youth and includes conversation-starters and details how they can safely navigate the Internet and help a friend who might be in danger.
Because no child is safe from predators, Shared Hope’s work is so critically important … as is your support of it!
Your generosity is crucial as we continue sounding the alarm, meeting needs, fighting for justice, and saving lives. Thank you!
Linda Smith
Founder and President
