I\u2019m so grateful that MPT is letting me have some space on his blog to share what\u2019s going on in my little world today. I can\u2019t give you the entire story because he charging me for blog space by the word (totally kidding) so I\u2019m going to give you the Cliff\u2019s Notes-esque version…<\/span><\/p>\n

Today I\u2019m celebrating the 35th anniversary of my adoption. I was a born into an orphanage in what used to be Saigon and was rescued to the United States as part of a massive orphan rescue days before the fall of South Vietnam. If you want the long version of the story (it\u2019s worth a read) you can <\/span>check it out here<\/span><\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

To celebrate my anniversary I\u2019ve hooked up with my and MPT\u2019s good friend Tom Davis and his organization, Children\u2019s Hopechest for a very special cause: Caring for victims of human trafficking in Moldova. If you aren\u2019t familiar with Children\u2019s HopeChest, well you should be. You can learn more about how they serve orphans <\/span>here<\/span><\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Recently Tom and Anne Jackson traveled to Moldova to open a new partnership with local ministry\u2019s working with young women and teens who had been victims of sex trafficking. Today we\u2019re working together and raise the $1000 to $1,200 needed to open a group counseling room for the rescued women. The women that this counseling area will serve are currently living in a safe house with their children. Yes, their children. While working with Tom I\u2019ve learned that the underground world of sex slavery is darker than I had ever imagined. These women we sold while pregnant (pregnancy fetish=more money).<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m hoping that you will be moved by the important work that HopeChest is doing. And that you will me moved by the restoration that this counseling program will bring to these women and their children. I\u2019m hoping that you will be moved enough to give. Any gift, even $5 (the cost of tomorrow morning\u2019s grande frappa-whatever) will make a huge difference in the lives of these broken women. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to help you can give <\/span>HERE<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Any gift (even if it\u2019s only a buck!) will also enter you to win some goodies. <\/span>Check out my blog for details<\/span><\/span><\/a> AFTER YOU GIVE. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks for celebrating my anniversary with me. And, MPT thanks for sharing your space with me. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
