As this year draws to a close, we are reflecting on all the work it took to get to this place. 2020 was our busiest year ever!! With the ongoing pandemic, we saw more survivors reach out in need of help than ever before. There were times when we weren’t sure how we would carry all the need but you stepped up! You never let us down. Every single donation carried us through. You made sure that every survivor had what they needed this year. We didn’t let the pandemic stop us. School presentations continued. Survivor care continued. And to top it all off, we still made sure that all our survivors had Christmas presents to remind them how valued they are!!! Thank you for making this all possible! We couldn’t have done it without you. 
Testimonial from our School Program: "After seeing the documentary and the presentation about how traffickers work to lure us, I realized my so-called boyfriend was doing exactly that! I broke up with him.” -Robin, grade 10 student
