get involved- end human trafficking.

There are 27 million sex trafficking victims. Over half of these are children, some as young as three years old. Every 30 seconds, another victim is captured. These statistics can leave us feeling overwhelmed and defeated. However, I firmly believe that where there is light, darkness cannot stand. 

Fight for Them is an organization in which 100% of the proceeds from jewelry sales go directly to Pearl Alliance. Pearl Alliance works with onsite organizations in Southwest Asia, such as Zoe International and She Rescue Home, to end human trafficking.

Each necklace and bracelet comes with the “Fight for Them” logo, a pearl of hope and the initials of an actual sex trafficking survivor. Those initials put a face to the staggering statistics and can be a humbling experience. Every time I hold my daughter and she plays with my necklace, we say a quick prayer for "P.K." I don't know her story or who she is but God does. This has also provided a great opportunity to raise awareness in my own daughter’s heart and to tell her how much she is loved and valued and to fight for those who have been told something different.



If you are looking for ways to help more long term, visit Jamie’s blog. Jamie is a former missionary who has seen first hand the effects of human trafficking and is working hard to rescue young victims. As a monthly sponsor through The Exodus Road, you help an investigative team in a specific SE Asia city rescue those trapped in human trafficking and put those responsible behind bars. (please visit Jamie's blog in the link above for instructions on how to become a sponsor.)

Remember, we can’t do everything, but we must do something.
