Rescue a Child 2016 - Sugar Fast

$235 of $6,000 goal
Given by 7 generous donors in 5 weeks

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has – Margaret Mead

Waikato

It's estimated every 17 seconds, one child is sold or forced into the sex trade. It costs $1500 to rescue one child out of the sex trade.

It costs $6000 to fund one child's journey through our program - enabling them to pursue their dreams for the future.

Anyone who knows me will attest to the fact that sugar is my friend. For the month of July I will be forgoing processed sugar, including lollies, chocolate, biscuits and cakes. The only sugar I will have will be in fruit. My goal is to raise $1500 to rescue one child from sexual slavery, though I would love to reach $6000 to support them through the whole program.

Please help by giving whatever you can using the “Donate Now” button. Every bit counts, no matter how big or small. The more people that know about Destiny Rescue, the greater the impact, so please help spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!

Humans should not be bought and sold, least of all children who have no power at all to stop what is happening to them.
