We have been working hard to promote the Climb for Captives in hopes of raising awareness about Human Trafficking and bringing true, tangible freedom to children who are forced into the sex trade in India. This effort takes a lot of time and a lot of energy from all of us on the Climb for Captives team, but when we hear stories like this we are reminded about the importance of what we are doing and we are inspired to keep pushing forward in hopes that one more life will be saved. Last weekend a Canadian family outside of Vancouver, British Columbia decided to have a garage sale and donate all of the money to Climb for Captives. Their kids began spreading the word around the neighborhood and telling their friends that children around the world are suffering and need help. One little girl, after hearing about the kids in India, went home and sold her pet fish to her brother for $8.15 and promptly donated the money to Climb for Captives. Incredible.
When it was all said and done the family, in addition to raising awareness about the reality and prevalence of Human Trafficking, was able to raise $850 dollars at their garage sale, to help rescue victims in India. Once again, incredible!
We hope that you are as encouraged and inspired by this story as we were. Anyone can make a difference and every little bit helps…even a per gold fish can help to forever change a life. Dream with us about how you might join the Climb for Captives. Visit www.climbforcaptives.com to find out more.
