There is a growing problem in the United States that centers itself within the trucking industry, specifically truck stops. We want you to be aware of the tragedy of young girls caught in the human trafficking industry. Read the following testimony and call us if you want to help: “I just want to go home and live like a normal kid with friends, texting, music, and basketball games. I didn’t choose this kind of life for myself. I’m forced to do this, and I fear for my life if I don’t. If I were your fifteen-year old daughter, which would you choose for me: a life of sexual slavery or a life of childhood freedom? You could help me by making one simple phone call to the Human Trafficking hotline: 1.888.3737.888. Give them my location, what I look like, a description of the truck I was in – anything that could help them rescue me.” Will you please be aware of the wellness of others? Comment here.
For more information, check out the issues section on our resources page or contact us. You can also call our toll-free Trucker Prayer Line at 1-877-797-PRAY (7729). We’re here for you.
