Riley joins Americorps!

Hi, everyone, as many of you have heard, Riley will be serving a year in St. Louis with Americorps. She will be volunteering at a center that partners with survivors of human trafficking and the surrounding community at the end of January! The aim of this organization is to end commercial sexual exploitation and help survivors through peer counseling, and basic needs such as housing. This year is a continuation of Riley's desire and mission to make an impact in the lives of missing and exploited persons. This is a cause she has been passionate about since high school, and she has previously raised money for Klaas Kids and was recognized by the office of Marco Rubio for her efforts in facilitating a safety fair at her school. 

   During her time in St. Louis, Riley will be given a small stipend that will cover rent, but not much else. She has already secured a job as a remote tutor to help make ends meet, however, she will be volunteering at the center full time. If anyone is able and desires to help Riley with moving costs, she would be most appreciative. You can donate directly here, or you could sponsor her for a certain amount each month while she is there. For that, you could email me at the address posted.

We would also really appreciate prayers for all the logistics that must be figured out in just a few short weeks--and of course prayers for her safety.

We are hosting this GoFundMe completely independent of Americorps or the center where she will be volunteering.

Thank you so much--Kristie and Scott Hansen
