Trafficking Survivors: Baby Leah Secure Child Care
Baby Leah, daughter of child sex trafficking survivor Jade, was nearly killed by their abuser many weeks ago - she made a miraculous recovery and was able to be moved into a safe house thanks to the support of our donor network.
Jade is back at work, but works nights, which has presented some unique issues with childcare. The state still has not issued/delivered a social security card for Leah, which is making getting childcare assistance impossible, AND when that aid finally arrives, it won’t cover the hours and vetted process we need for this high risk family.
We’ve got some trusted women that have stepped up to help, and their time, while deeply discounted, is not free.
We need $350 each week towards this in order to keep baby safe and mama working.
Who can help?
We Are The Dead
We are the Dead is a sister organization to Flanders Fields, to carry their mission to those encountered on the streets, on the dope track, in the prisons and in the hell of addiction or sex trafficking who aren't veterans. Nobody on the Flanders team will step over the dead bodies of civilians to save a vet, but within the confines of the charter, funding can only be allocated to veterans. The need to stand up a second org focused on non-veteran funding for rescues and recoveries was immediately apparent, and to date, the Flanders team has been funding these efforts out of their own pockets, but no more! We are the Dead gets it's name from the same poem by LtCol John McCrae that Flanders Fields got it's name from, which reads in part: "
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields."
We are here to restore life to those who were once dead to their addictions and the streets, for we were once the dead ourselves.
