RESCUE FUNDS
Reaching out to people who are sometimes in very vulnerable situations means there are times when we require immediate mobilization, to be able to support someone in their moment of need! We have funds specifically set aside for such times, with support covering anything from medical care to counseling to emergency housing. Some clients need legal assistance.
EMPOWERMENT MATERIALS
Work in the schools requires curriculum and materials for students. Money buys resources for prevention programs in the schools. Empowerment Groups for middle and high school students work to prevent entrapment of at-risk teens. Powerful Me leaders work in elementary schools to teach vulnerable kids about inappropriate behaviors and how to avoid or report it.
RESTORATION OPPORTUNITIES
Human trafficking survivors often want education and skills training so they can live a new life. Money provides tuition, books, computers and supplies. Trades require specific equipment and tools. Foreign nationals with a T-Visa need to learn English. Basic support is required for transportation, housing, and nourishment.
Whether you would like to give a one off donation or be a regular donor, we appreciate your support!
AWARENESS & EDUCATION
Community awareness involves presentations and presence at community events. Presentations require handouts, brochures, and materials. Events often have venue and security charges. Outreach, such as theater presence for Sound of Freedom film showings, requires materials and displays.
TRAINING INITIATIVES
Freedom Calling offers Human Trafficking 101 (HT101) and an intensive 40-Hour Training that meets the requirements of CA Evidence Code 1038b. The training is open to the public. Many come to the HT101 just to raise their own awareness of human trafficking so they can help with identification of victims and prevent extortion of young adolescents. Local community partners such as Captive Hearts, Lumina Alliance, and ECHO send members to be trained. human trafficking is a community-wide problem.
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS
Freedom Calling has no paid employees or office space. Admin costs are limited to expenses for phone, website costs, copies, and other minimal necessities.
