You showed up this year, and I want to say thank you. Your commitment to ending slavery, abuse and exploitation is inspiring, and I’m so glad you’re with us in the fight!
Today, I am proud to introduce you to a brave young woman from India named Kashi.* When our team in Kolkata met her, she was just fifteen years old, trapped at a brothel. But her story of trafficking and slavery actually started when she was five years old.
When Kashi gave us permission to share her story, she spoke with such bravery and candor that we quickly realized it would be best if you could hear directly from her. I encourage you to read Kashi’s story — in her own words.
John, I want to make sure you know about this special opportunity to multiply your impact. If you give by December 15, your gift will be multiplied, with generous donors providing an additional $400,000. This means you can provide even more rescue and restoration to people who have been trafficked and exploited.
One of my favorite quotes from Kashi’s story is when she says, “There is a fire burning inside of me whenever I think of my past experiences. When the memories flash back, I can hear a voice yelling from the fire saying to me, You have to fight. You must save other girls.”
John, with a gift today, you can help people like Kashi heal and become leaders in the fight to make the world a safer, more just place.
Thank you for standing with children like Kashi this year. I hope her story inspires and encourages you as much as it inspired me.
