In a few short weeks Noah will experience Christmas, for the first time ever!

John,
The tinsel is glittering … the lights are twinkling … the ornaments shiny and bright. Presents under the tree. Music and laughter, joy and love. The cozy warmth of family.
What a beautiful day!
But it never happened. Not for a little guy I’ll call Noah.
In the first 10 years of his life, he never experienced a typical, festive Christmas … never celebrated a birthday … never felt the thrill of the first day of school … never knew the warmth and safety of “home.”
Noah’s father, controlled by his addictions, actually rented out Noah’s mother — and young Noah himself — to pay for drugs.
Afraid, traumatized, Noah’s mother finally took her little boy in hand and fled. They spent years on the run from their oppressor.
Then you stepped in to this story, and helped this little boy and his mom.
Your generous support for Shared Hope International enabled us to welcome him and his mother into a safe home.
The day they arrived at “Hero House,” a partner facility we support, Noah had nothing but a trash bag containing a few stuffed animals. He didn’t know how to read. He didn’t know how to count.
But today, thanks to you, he’s enrolled in school. He has a bedroom of his own. He gets three nutritious meals a day.
And in a few short weeks — with your help — Noah will experience, for the first time ever, a beautiful … joyous … safe … “normal” Christmas!
You’ve given him a whole new life. He finally has hope for the future.
But there is still another mother and child still on the run. Another mother and child still in bondage to traffickers. Another still urgently needing restoration.
So I hope and pray that you will give a generous Christmas gift of compassion today … to help us reach them before it’s too late … to give them the indescribable gift of home, of safety, of hope.

This means your compassion will go twice as far to help adults and children like Noah from the brutality of the sex trafficking industry.
This December 25th will be Noah’s first real Christmas.
And your generous Hope Restored Matching Challenge gift now will share the hope of Christmas with another child like him

…
… a child who has suffered agonies that no child should ever know — but who still has a chance to blossom into a happy, healthy, productive adult.
This Christmas morning, Noah will wake safe in his room. No one hurting him. Only love and care — thanks to you.
Today, you can help another child like him, and another mom like his. So many need us. Thank you for giving them hope.

Founder and President
