1.2 million

Every year,
1.2 million new children
are trafficked.
They are forced 
against their own will
to work as prostitutes
in brothels.
Children
as old as 
5, 6, 7
are forced 
to sleep with 
upwards of
20 men
a day.
Innocent,
beautiful,
children
are trapped
in a horrid,
 unimaginable 
world. 

human trafficking
is  just one of the many
social injustices
that swamp our world today.

we live in a country,
where we are blessed to have
rights,
a voice,
opportunity,
freedom,
hope.
and because of 
these gifts,
i believe we have the responsibility
to be a voice for the voiceless.
these kids are voiceless.

Sevenly
picks a cause every week
that they help through the sales
of t-shirts.
this week,
their cause is close to my heart.
for every t-shirt purchased,
sevenly will donate money
to Destiny Rescue.
Destiny Resuce helps to
 rescue,
restore,
 recover,
empower
and protect
children
from the international trafficking industry.
this week,
the money goes specifically towards
an undercover rescue mission
to help free children from a brothel
in Thailand. 

be a voice for the voiceless.
get educated on social injustices in our world today.
even if you don't have money to buy a shirt,
you can still write your local representatives
and inform them about what these children face on a daily basis.
you  have a voice.
through facebook, twitter, tumblr, blogger
and in person.
you can help these children
have a hopeful tomorrow.
