This year has tested us: 2024 has been an outlier in Love146’s history. Economic conditions reduced funding from key partners, while inflation drove costs higher than ever, forcing tough choices. One thing remains clear: children need us. The same economic strains are hitting families, increasing youth’s vulnerability, and we’re seeing more youth in need of our long-term Survivor Care. Right now, your donation is being doubled. So we’re here to ask: Will you make a gift to support children during this crucial time?

This Giving Tuesday,

fuel Courage.

Kids at Love146 are digging deep into courage to overcome trafficking. Today, every dollar you give will have twice the impact to fuel their strength and help build a future free from exploitation.

THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END

of child trafficking.

The phrase “human trafficking” was introduced decades ago with relatively few people tracking the issue. But today, many of us know about this horrific crime. The number of reports about children being trafficked is skyrocketing. It can seem like the issue is getting worse as new stories are unearthed. But the more deeply we understand the issue of child trafficking, the closer we are to ending it.

“It always seems impossible until it's done.”
