We all have slow times in our business, and some of us more than others lately. But what do you do with this time? How do we help families other than getting them into new homes? I know this community, and I know that it is a caring one. So many people have supported each other, and shared their hopes, dreams, and sorrows together. Well, I want to share what I am doing today to help.
Tomorrow on October 10th, 10-10-10 the second annual one day Twitterthon to Stop Child Sex Trafficking will be occuring. Anyone that knows me knows that I spent my life working with, and for kids, to give them a better life. So when I was asked to help, I did! Here is what I wrote on Squidoo for them, explaining about the Project. Background information on the perverts that are capitalizing on our kids, the worlds kids.
Last year on September 9th I wrote about the Twitterthon and the need to help educate children about the perpetrators that can rob them of their childhood. Selling children for sex....don't think it only happens in other countries. Recently in Portland and Los Angeles they arrested people that were targeting Junior High/Middle School Girls. It is happening all across the United States and other countries as well.
Greed...it sickens me what some people do to children...and not just children but adults too, but this project is for our children. Please won't you help make a difference by Donating Today!

Kathy, we must all band together for stopping a practice that is horrible beyond description. Thank you for doing your part. I donate to this cause and participate in events wherever I can, and I will gladly donate now. Thank you for keeping this topic in the forefront of our minds!
Kathy - It's unbelievable and, yes, horrible beyond description. Thank you for bringing this out. I wonder how many people will watch this but not respond? I hope none. Thank you again.
Gwen - Wonderful that you are involved...I follow a lot of Human Trafficking Organizations on Twitter and was involved when I lived overseas. Shocking that this is so prevalent here in the states as well.
Kathy- Oh I do hope that no one watches and ignores it. I know that as hard as it is to comprehend some people don't have an extra $10 right now...but they can help by promoting this...and just doing what they can.
Ann- Hi Ann...you are so right, a Starbucks stop off or a donation. Hmmm for me there is only one choice :)
To All: I just found this written after last years Twitterthon...and it is really a great look into what happened, how much was raised, and what lessons were learned. Born2Fly Interview

$10 is not much when you think about how much a cup of coffee costs (or in my case a Diet Mt. Dew). I am looking forward to see how much is donated!
