One-year-old Zinitu arrived at our Aleta Pediatric Hospital and Feeding Center, fragile and visibly malnourished. Her 17-year old mother, who shares cramped quarters with Zinitu and her grandmother, brought her to us after seeing her daughter suffer from severe malnutrition and anemia. Her body was wasting away.

Amy was identified by law enforcement as a teen victim of child sexual abuse and, upon further investigation, being trafficked. At the police department, she was nervous, scared and felt completely alone.

Jasmine was a 13-year-old girl when she joined our CAP program. She was severely neglected, and child sexual abuse of other family members was already happening in her home, putting her at risk of abuse and being trafficked.

Alaina was 13 when she came into the St. Louis Refuge Home. Our local law enforcement partners had responded to a tip that a young girl was being trafficked. Later that night, Alaina was rescued from a hotel.

Zuberi and his family are only alive today because you cared. You gave them food, medical care, and hope.

When you’re on a mission, when God puts this thing in your heart, and you really find it, its not work, it’s a privilege.

Sonjia’s story is a rare look at the real life of a sex trafficking survivor. This is the harrowing story of her fight to live, find help, health, healing, and restoration through the Crisis Aid U.S. Refuge Home.

A story of redemption, hope, restoration, and potential from sex trafficking. She has a changed future because many refused to do nothing.

Together, when we bring our gifts, talents, skills, relationships, and income producing ideas we affect, positive, lasting, and generational change.
