A Restore Banquet

So us Black Bow girls and a myriad of friends were able to go to a Restore Innocence banquet!

Between just myself (Rachel) and my brother, and ten percent of proceeds from online work and freelance writing... we were able to contribute $130!

I added $40 of it to our shopper's impact tally and will add the rest whenever it decides to start working again. :)

Thanks to our awesome friends and family for getting involved. We're getting ready to take our first round of change shopping for Restore Bags. Stay posted!!

$101 of Shopper's Impact and pending. :)

Sexually used and abused...

Sexually trafficked girls in the United States are often overlooked and forgotten. We do not think of such a black trade as enslavement-- and sexual, no less-- in our own backyards. But every day it happens, and every day beautiful girls have their hope and future snuffed.

Restore Innocence founded a house in the United States, affectionally called the "Cinderella House," to make a safe haven for such girls with nowhere to turn, who might have ended right back in this dark trade. They also provide counseling, help girls get started in a new life of freedom and independence, and send bags full of necessities into all the country for girls just being pulled out of sexual trafficking.

We are all born free. And no girl should have her innocence, hope, and sexuality sold like merchandise.

And so the girls of The Black Bow Project are wearing black bows every day for a year, and raising change in their communities (at least a quarter a day is the goal!) for these princesses we have come to call "Cinderella Girls". You are no longer forgotten.

Join this world-altering adventure of saving Cinderella?
