They have been working in this area for several years. That is where I first became aware of it. Maryland rest areas have the national hotline posted on their restroom doors. I wish more states would do that.

I struggled with what I could do, and all I felt God telling me at the time (and for the week after the presentation when I was still processing the information) was to write. The information is sickening, but if we don't know, we can't help. Thank you for keeping an open heart for when God calls you to serve. ~LauraLaura Rathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524290825130536188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-12775377065587184732014-06-19T15:21:34.064-05:002014-06-19T15:21:34.064-05:00Prayers for, and thanks to, your daughter and her ...Prayers for, and thanks to, your daughter and her husband for their work in helping victims of these terrible crimes.

Greenville SC is the fastest growing area on the east coast bc we are a quaint small city between Charlotte and Miami. One of the ladies on it's board and I leave next Monday to head to Haiti to look at a long term partnership with Help one Now who is rescuing children and providing them with a sustainable future away from slave rings. There is much to be done and yes it is horrific, right in our own back yards. Thanks for posting this!

It's so big, and maybe writing about it for awareness sake is all we can do...but then that's what we should do. I struggled with how to write this post. It ended up as 2 posts - the 2nd one will post on 5 Min. for Faith later this week.

I came home and grieved for days. I always feel like it's so big. But through prayer and being aware, we can help end it.
