You can give a survivor tools to rebuild.

John,
Lana’s trafficker put his credit cards in her name.
When he skipped out on hotel bills and defaulted on his car payment, it damaged her credit report.
Lana believed they were in love, so she didn’t mind helping him out since his credit was bad. But, when she realized their relationship was actually trafficking, she knew she had to break free.
That part was hard enough. What she didn’t expect was how difficult it would be to rebuild her life — starting with finances. She couldn’t even rent an apartment with damaged credit.
A special match will DOUBLE your gift today, helping someone like Lana.

When leaving trafficking, survivors need secure housing and employment. They’re seeking stability. Without it, they’re vulnerable to re-exploitation.
But until recently, there was no clear path to cleaning up a survivor’s credit — a major barrier to rebuilding a life.
Thanks to a new law Polaris pushed Congress to pass, trafficking survivors can now block these types of damaging items from their credit reports. But there’s much more to do!
We are creating new resources that help survivors (and the organizations who support them) with credit repair. Your matched gift TODAY can get these resources into the hands of more survivors.

The problem is big: More than half of survivors — up to 64% — reported their trafficker misused their identity for financial purposes, according to our recent National Survivor Study.
This can look like traffickers using victims’ identities when applying for government aid, taking out loans, opening bank accounts, getting credit cards, or registering a business. The harm can be long-lasting and devastating.
Experiencing trafficking shouldn’t become a life sentence for survivors — financially or otherwise. Please open your heart for someone like Lana.
