Support Jeanet Ingalls: From Homelessness to Hope

Jeanet Ingalls is currently homeless and in dire need of help. She is a talented Berkshire artist and activist whose tragic early life has led to difficult mid-life challenges. She was born in the Philippines and sexually trafficked as a small child. At age 8 she was adopted by U.S. missionaries and brought home to Lenox, Massachusetts, where she attended local schools and later raised her own children.

Jeanet studied art at Parsons School of Design in New York, and her powerful paintings have been exhibited regionally. She became a personal trainer and fitness instructor, but her heart was always devoted to helping other survivors of sex trafficking.

Jeanet has long been an advocate for other sex trafficking survivors. She formed a nonprofit, Shout Out Loud Productions, with the goal of creating a documentary on child sex trafficking. She organized a Sex Trafficking Summit and organized and led trainings on how to identify and report sex trafficking.
