5 For Freedom

SEX TRAFFICKING: It’s not just a Third World problem.

Did you know there is a sex trafficking problem right here in the United States? I always thought this was happening “over there”. Through Monarch Jewelry & Crisis Aid, I have learned that’s not the case. “Over there” no longer applies. It’s here and together we can do something about it. With your help we can do the following:

A $5 donation can offer more than just a meal—it can be a moment of healing for someone recently rescued from trafficking. After enduring fear, exploitation, and unimaginable hardship, that simple, warm plate of food can be the first step toward rebuilding trust, safety, and self-worth. It’s not just nourishment for the body, but also a gesture of compassion that says, you are safe now, you are valued, and your journey to healing begins here. In that single meal, there is comfort, care, and the beginning of a new life.

People love a happy ending.

The kind where the girl is rescued, wrapped in a warm blanket, and everything is okay again by morning.

But for survivors of trafficking, the truth looks very different.

Rescue is just the first step. What comes after is long, painful, and rarely picture-perfect. It’s sleepless nights. Flashbacks. Learning how to trust again. Learning how to feel safe in your own skin. It’s therapy, support, and simple things like a hot meal and a safe place to sleep.

Healing doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time. It takes patience. And it takes people who care enough to walk alongside survivors—day in, day out.

Your donation can make a difference. It can help provide that warm meal, that therapy session, that moment of safety.

No one can rewrite the past—but together, we can help survivors build a future. One meal. One safe night. One kind act at a time.
