Restoring Stolen Childhoods

Donation protected
Hi everyone, it is time to stand up to a problem in Tampa Bay. Tonight, many children will be forced to provide sex for an average of 15 to 30 buyers right here in our city. Tomorrow night, each of them will be forced to do it again. Not just in Tampa Bay, but in every big city in Florida.

It is so disturbing that this can even happen, especially in our Country! We need your help to build Bridging Freedom and to help restore stolen childhoods.

We are working to build one of Florida's first therapeutic safe home that will provide long-term comprehensive care to these victims in a secure environment. These kids are rescued by FBI and undercover law officers, but there are no long-term services in Florida that provides a holistic continuum of care that will house and heal these victims that have been tricked, beaten, and raped, and who have developed Stockholm Syndrome from their abusers.

It will take all of us to come together to provide this service for these rescued girls.

These donations will go to provide a safe and protected campus with comfortable homes; trauma therapy to help them heal from what they have endured from the buyer and the trafficker; medical care that helps their bodies heal; and many activities that help restore their personal power and self confidence which includes equine therapy, art and gardening therapy, swimming; and a chapel to provide a place of spiritual healing.

PLEASE, donate now and join the team. TOGETHER we can help them!

Stats:
Child sex-trafficking is a horrific crime that robs the innocence of its victims and causes significant physical, mental and emotional trauma.

Florida has 30,000 to 40,000 run away and throw away children each year. Within 48 hours 1 in 3 of them will be lured into child sex trafficking.

In the United States each year, approximately 300,000 children "“ at the average age of 12 "“ are prostituted against their will, forced to provide sexual acts for an average of 15 to 30 men a night.

Florida is third in the nation in human trafficking cases behind California and New York.

Bridging Freedom's mission is to combat minor sex-trafficking by bringing restoration to those rescued and victim prevention to those we reach with our message.
