In case you missed Jean’s message from yesterday, I wanted to make sure you saw Claudia’s story to see just how impactful your #GivingTuesday gift will be to a survivor of human trafficking. We need to raise as much as we can by midnight to stay on track and replenish the fund. If you are able to give, please do so right away! ([link removed][UNIQID])

Friend, today is a big day for a nonprofit like Freedom Network USA. I hope you’ll take just a minute to read my email and choose to help us replenish our depleted Survivor Relief Fund ([link removed][UNIQID]) . It is dangerously low and dozens of human trafficking survivors are hoping for some help on this Giving Tuesday!
The pandemic that has been raging since March is taking its toll on survivors. These individuals face an incredible number of obstacles - sometimes physical and emotional - but also barriers to an affordable place to live, challenges finding work that will feed their families, and more. In the face of a health crisis, what would otherwise be a simple problem can cause chaos.
That is why your gift to the Survivor Relief Fund will change a life. ([link removed][UNIQID])
So far, we’ve delivered $50,000 in grants to more than 150 survivors facing hardship. A $300 grant puts food on the table, buys prescriptions, fills a gas tank, or pays the utility bill. And gives a survivor of human trafficking - someone who has already faced abuse, neglect, fear, and loss - the chance to make it through the chaos.
Right now, the fund is very low, and we only have enough to offer 10 grants between now and the end of the year. I expect at least 40 people to apply. Now while that worries me, I am THRILLED that our board has offered to match the first $2,500 donated today.
Can you help? ([link removed][UNIQID])
