Hi friends,
Houston-based Free the Captives is an anti-trafficking organization that I've worked with a few times. One of their focuses is helping rescued victims get on their feet with counseling, employment help, and support. One way they do this is by hiring the girls each summer to make and sell candles.
FtC just sent out an urgent request for help. Hurricane Harvey impacted several of the vendors that usually sell the candles, to the point that they were unable to sell this year (due to damaged property, lack of funds, etc.). There are A LOT of candles left (1500 as of when the email was sent). If these are not sold, FtC will not be able to hire the girls this year.
The candles are small (10 oz.) and cost $25 each. This is expensive for a candle but reasonable for helping victims of the sex slave industry.
Would you consider one or more of the following to help?
(1) Buy a candle (or more than one).
(2) Forward the link below to friends, family, coworkers, etc. that might be able to help.
(3) Pray that God would intervene and take care of this situation in a way that goes beyond what FtC could think or imagine.

Thanks for your time. God bless,
