Kids Deserve Summer
During the summer, we often think about vacations, time away from work and school, and days full of family activities. Summer is a lifelong memory for so many kids. But for kids who have experienced trafficking, summertime is a time of increased vulnerabilities. During the summer, kids might experience less adult supervision leading to more risky behaviors. On top of that, school provides so many resources to vulnerable kids. Food, healthcare, teachers and counselors, and support from their friends all go away in the summer. And Traffickers know how to identify these vulnerabilities.
This is why we have to work to make sure every single kid we walk alongside still feels supported and has their basic needs met. As the school year ends, Traffick911 Advocates are creating safety plans, researching food pantries and resources, and trying to anticipate the needs of the kids they serve. We have a goal of raising $50,000 so our team of highly-trained Advocates can serve more than 200 survivors through May, June, and July. But we can’t do it alone. We need you with us to make sure these kids get the summer they deserve. When you give to Traffick911 this summer, you give hope, joy, and experiences. Your support gives kids the summer they deserve.
