Millions of children around the world are trafficked or trapped in sexual exploitation with little hope for freedom. Within the first six months of being trafficked, the traffickers intention is to break the children - break their will, their choice and their freedom. I mean fk, can you imagine? The thought of this breaks my heart to say the very least and it's a matter I am dedicated to supporting and helping those committed to shutting down these operations. Today I speak with Paul Mergard from Destiny Rescue who has been helping free children in trafficking for over 20 years. Hearing what he has to say are really hard truths and realities not many of us have to think about. But knowing there are kids out there being forced to have sex with sometimes 20 plus men a night and forced to do it with a smile on their face is devastating which is why I am bringing this topic out of the dark and into our consciousness. One child said to Paul, "I have dreams too but they will never happen for me, so please don't let me dream".

Destiny Rescue's mission is to rescue, restore, empower and protect these children and shutdown these brothels. They have the man power standing by waiting to rescue but are busting for funds. It costs $1500 to rescue one child and $10,000 to do a full raid and shut the whole place down. We as a legendary community can begin these children's birth right to dream again, to dream something better for themselves.
