To our Hope Ranch family,
As we wrap up this calendar year, we are so grateful for your generosity which has supported women to further heal on their long road of recovery from sexual exploitation and human trafficking. The stories of physical, psychological, and emotional trauma that the women we serve have experienced are heart-wrenching. We are grateful God longs to join with them through their suffering to find healing and hope.
In 2022, we have helped these women receive necessary medical and dental care, pursue their GED, receive counseling, get their drivers license, graduate from our program, reacclimate back into society. We have walked alongside them through night terrors and so much more.
We couldn’t have done this without YOU. One of our prayers is that we would be able to finish this year strong and be able to increase our engagement even more so in 2023. To do that, our goal is to raise another $100,000 before December 31. This is a lofty goal, we understand. Would you prayerfully consider joining us in whatever way possible? Thank you.
Human Trafficking Awareness Month
January is National Human Trafficking Awareness Month. We want everyone to be aware of the dramatic increase in the number of women, children, and men being trafficked each day right here in the U.S. YOU can make a difference by committing to join us throughout January as we celebrate hope and share that celebration with survivors who have fought valiantly to overcome their past and move to a future that is bright. We need everyone to show that hope is ever-present, even during the darkest of times.
