Friend,

Advocating for human trafficking survivors is difficult. The issues are far more complex than they are made out to be in the media, on social networking sites, and in television shows.

That is one of several reasons I am so happy you are part of this community. Every single individual has a role to play in challenging false and misleading information, advocating for survivors, and even - when possible - contributing with your financial support ([link removed]) .

Your impact includes:
* connecting survivors of human trafficking to pro bono lawyers for help clearing a criminal record for crimes they were forced to commit while being trafficked,
* training for service providers who are assisting survivors with emergency, transitional, and long term housing,
* and the resources to pay rent, buy food, and more through our Survivor Relief Fund. ([link removed])

In recognition of Human Trafficking Awareness Month, we have set a goal of replenishing the Survivor Relief Fund in order to support 15 survivors. That means we need to raise $4,500 before January 31st. Can you make a generous gift today? ([link removed])

The Survivor Relief Fund is there for individuals on an emergency basis. Last year alone, we delivered emergency funds to 156 people totaling more than $51,000. But today, the fund is running low - and the need is still there.

I am truly grateful to know you are part of this community - we really do need all hands on deck if we are going to make a positive impact on the lives of survivors and address some of the systemic causes of trafficking. With your generous support, I am confident we can make real progress on our common goal of ending human trafficking. ([link removed])
With many thanks,

Jean Bruggeman
Executive Director
