Stats?

Just let me give you a few:

• one in four victims of modern day slavery are children. (cbp.gov)

• 60% of human trafficking victims were foster kids. (freedomunited.com)

• 50% of women now in prostitution were once abused children. (newswire.com)

• children in foster care move about 7 times, on average, and spend roughly 20 months in foster care before reunification or adoption. (child welfare.gov)

• chronic instability creates toxic stress which shapes vulnerability to trafficking.

SOLUTIONS:

The solution is to be there for these children by:

• having well trained, licensed foster parents who are committed unconditionally to the children until reunification or adoption takes place.

• have those same parents be committed to adopting those children who don’t get reunified with their birth family.

• having each foster home loved, supported, and provided for by their local church so that the parents can devote their time and love to the kids.

• increase such foster homes across the world until every foster child is truly loved and the cycle of suffering ends.

ACTION STEPS:

• consider a monthly commitment to the Esmé Homes. They are committed to foster-to-adopt and loving unconditionally.

• by giving monthly you are empowering the house parents to devote their time to the children and provide for them.

• the Esmé Home plans to multiply into other states as funds come in. If you can’t personally foster, this is your way to support transformation!
