Patriot,
Human trafficking doesn’t stop because it’s Christmas or because
there are Black Friday deals to chase...or because families are
hanging lights from their rooflines.
Tragically, it continues every single day - in cities, suburbs, and
small towns. And it is growing.
As you spend these few minutes reading my email, this billion-dollar
industry is at work - tightening its grip on our communities.
The headlines don't slow down for the holidays either. In fact, they
never stop.
[Headline about Human Trafficking.] [1]
“ARREST WARRANTS DETAIL HARTFORD HUMAN TRAFFICKING INVESTIGATION
THAT LED TO THE ARREST OF 7” – WFSB
Children are being approached online every day.
In this case, a predator contacted a 14-year-old through Instagram DMs
— a reminder of just how easily traffickers access our children on
social media.
From there, the girls were moved from house to house… a trap-house
basement… a motel.
To traffickers, these precious children were _disposable_. They
transported them based on opportunity, convenience, or profit.
“NEBRASKA TEACHER ALLEGEDLY OFFERED TO ‘SHARE’ BOYFRIEND WITH
STUDENT IN SEX TRAFFICKING CASE” – FOX NEWS
When our children leave for school, we expect safety — but that is
not always reality.
A teacher and her boyfriend were arrested for trafficking a high
school student. The victim came forward after reporting inappropriate
interactions.
The teacher now faces charges of sexual grooming, while both face
trafficking charges.
“ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY MAN INDICTED ON MASSIVE PHILIPPINES SEX
TRAFFICKING RING” – CBS NEWS
Sometimes you hear about it on the news… sometimes on social
media… and sometimes it happens right on your street.
In this case, victims were between 10 AND 14 YEARS OLD.
The offender faces a 15-count federal indictment — from sexual
exploitation to coercion to child pornography. All of it connected
through an online account he used to reach known traffickers
overseas.
These stories appear EVERY HOUR.
Every day.
Everywhere.
My name is EDUARDO VERÁSTEGUI. I’m reaching out to you from the
SOUND OF FREEDOM FOUNDATION — we are funding real-time rescue

AS THE HOLIDAY SEASON BEGINS, I’M ASKING YOU TO PAUSE... JUST FOR A
MOMENT... AND HELP STOP THIS NIGHTMARE FOR CHILDREN.

Help Save Children [1]
When a credible tip comes in, our teams - former Navy SEALs,
undercover investigators, and cyber-intelligence analysts move in
HOURS, sometimes MINUTES.
In partnership with local law enforcement, we pull victims out of
hotels, cars crossing state lines and hidden brothels.
The SOUND OF FREEDOM FOUNDATION team works tirelessly to protect
children and adults from the ravages of human trafficking.
Our mission is clear: CREATE A WORLD WHERE NO ONE EVER HAS TO LIVE IN
FEAR OF BEING TRAFFICKED OR EXPLOITED.
We will not wait. We will not slow down. We will not stop.
Traffickers certainly don’t.
They target children because the demand grows — and because there
are people willing to pay.
The average victim? Just 14 YEARS OLD.
Please, don’t wait until after the holidays.
Traffickers don’t pause for events, vacations, or celebrations. They
attack the body, soul, and spirit — relentlessly.
82% OF SEX CRIMES NOW START ONLINE.
Traffickers groom children through gaming apps, chat rooms, dating
apps — all in the light of day.
This is why we must bring more attention to this issue TOGETHER.
Stop Child Sex Trafficking [1]
YOUR GIFT HELPS EXPOSE TRAFFICKING, SUPPORT VICTIMS, AND SHINE A LIGHT
WHERE DARKNESS THRIVES. [1]
The SOUND OF FREEDOM FOUNDATION exists to confront this evil head-on
— exposing networks, equipping local partners, and funding rescue
operations.
We walk with survivors through their long journey of healing —
helping them reclaim their freedom and their future.
Your Generosity Can Bring Hope [1]
There is still so much more to do. Lawmakers are fighting back with
stronger penalties — but laws alone are not enough. Local agencies
still need resources to enforce those laws, support victims, and
prevent abuse before it begins.
Together — truly — we can make a difference.
With gratitude,
