I’ll never forget the day I walked into my daughter’s room and found a $50 bill on her night stand, with a note that read, *“Sorry, Jim, this is all I can make.”*
My heart sank.
At the time, I had no idea what that note meant. All I knew was that I was struggling to wake her up for school. She had quit the band, dropped out of activities she once loved, and her zest for life seemed to be fading before my eyes.
I felt like I was losing my daughter, but I didn’t know why—until I found that letter.
After a painful investigation, I discovered that my worst fears had come true. My daughter had been trafficked by an older boyfriend I had tried to warn her about. I was devastated, overwhelmed, and terrified for her future.
That’s when I reached out to Unbound Now.
Unbound Now didn’t just offer us support. They walked with my daughter and me through every painful step of the journey. They connected her to the services she needed to start healing. They fought for justice, and because of their unwavering support, her trafficker received a 40-year sentence.
But perhaps most importantly, Unbound Now gave us hope. My daughter is healing. She is reclaiming her life, her dreams, and her future.
There are so many other parents out there who are fighting the same battle we did. There are children who are being trafficked and desperately need the support Unbound Now provides. Join me in standing with Unbound Now so that we can bring freedom and hope to more families like mine.
