It's absolutely awful that in society now we still have people living in slavery and under human trafficking we all need to do what we can for those who are trapped in this life.<br />Thankyou for writing this post and bringing awareness to a subject that's a lot bigger than most people realise. <br />xBooksandBoardies https://www.blogger.com/profile/13978990893428980752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-54352951062368688302014-04-03T15:06:08.658-07:002014-04-03T15:06:08.658-07:00Such a great post!

Obviously, this is a cause near and dear to my heart, but I have not made it a priority in my life lately. Per your suggestion, I found a couple local anti-human trafficking organizations that I can volunteer with. I'm going to try and sign up to make a meal for a local drop-in center!

I'm not sure it will happen yet but God has really been opening our eyes and hearts and when I trace it back to where it all started from it goes back to you and Kevin and the life you lead. <3 Thanks for being such an inspiration.Chantelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887712904925756046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-14934534089433899952014-04-01T19:21:36.130-07:002014-04-01T19:21:36.130-07:00It really is such a horrific, terrible thing.

I try to keep my distance because the idea that it could ever happen to me is so legitimately scary. We went to Vegas this year and my heart just hurt. There were signs for women everywhere, being driven up and down the boulevard. At night there were multiple people on every street corner passing out cards with numbers to call. I could not help but wonder how many of those women were not there by choice. How many of those women were stuck. I also found it interesting that most of the people standing on the street corner passing out the cards were latino. What I found even more sickening were the number of women promoting the prostitution of other women. I expected it from men but not from women. (Biased I know.)
