(TW sex abuse/trafficking) Alright, so I’m going to put myself out there a little bit because I want you guys to know why I have been so insistent the last few days trying to get donations for O.U.R.
This is a picture of me at the age (4) that I was being abused and trafficked. I’m standing next to my primary abuser in this photo.(hence the tense posture.)
The abuse started and it was just him for a while, but he eventually took the camera out. The trafficking started pretty much as soon as the abuser started making CSEM with me. Soon enough, his friends would come over, pay/trade and rape me.
I was raped about 15 times a month, estimating on the lower side. I was hardly out of the toddler stage of development. But even so, my case is MILD.
Millions of children around the world are being raped 15 times or even much more a DAY. They are kidnapped or sold by their families never to see them again. They are often abused and neglected to the point of death while at the same time being used as objects and slaves.
But the point is, my case was still brutal and horrific. And if you want to talk about this happening “in your own backyard," I was the definition of those cases. Even though I was that tiny little thing still growing and becoming a person, it happened. And it's happening to millions of children at the same age or even younger (we are talking INFANTS).
So please know that when you donate to O.U.R. you are helping children around the entire world including those in your own community. So I’m asking please, for all those little girls just like me, do something to make a difference (preferably contributing to this fundraiser). Thank you.
Please donate anything you can to O.U.R. so they can continue to save children. God's children are not for sale!
