Stop The Secret

May 11, 2010 in Do Something with 4 Comments

There are girls who are pregnant in this world today.  They are pregnant, and being sold as sex slaves, and because they’re pregnant, the guys selling them are making more money.  Because they are pregnant, they are appeasing a fetish.  Because they are pregnant.

When they aren’t pregnant anymore, these children’s children are abandoned, or also raised into a life of sex trafficking.  This happens all over the world, but one of the highest rates of something like this happening happens in Moldova.  There are girls, starting around the age of 12 years old, being sold for sex.  Sometimes, they will sew their hymen, because they can make more money for a virgin.

These girls aren’t any different than any 12 year old you may know, except for the fact that they were born, a lot of times, out of a result of prostitution.  They never had the childhood we were blessed to have, and now, they’re trapped, being held captive, and being sold as objects.  They’re being passed from man to man, kept in a brothel, having their dignity stripped, their hymen sewed, and their innocence taken, day in and day out.

I’m not talking about once or twice a day here guys, I’m talking about 20 or 3o times a day.  A DAY!  So, how can we help?  Head on over to http://www.nicolewick.com/2010/05/stopping-the-secret/ and read all about Children’s HopeChest.  If you don’t have time to head over there today, simply click the image below and give.  $1.00, $2.00, whatever you can.  Every single penny helps.

Here’s the need: Children’s HopeChest and Home for Hope provide counseling services for girls rescued from the trade. These services are currently being limited due to physical building needs.

$1,200 will finish renovation on the group counseling area.

$14,500 will provide an addition onto the building that will serve as an individual counseling area.

Will you help stop the secret?

    No worries, like I said the other night, one of my big passions is the sex slave. Er…. stopping it.. not… well… you get it! LOL.

    Yah, this is a work in progress, but I’m hopefully gonna have it decked out when I find the time. Shoot me an e-mail with what you DON”T like about it. I’m taking all sorts of opinions. (The header is temporary, I stole that font from you! )
