Through the eyes of my 6-year-old daughter, this was my introduction to sex trafficking. She went on to raise several thousand dollars to help more children. In that moment I learned that too often the difference between adults and children was simply that children still believe they can change the world. When asked why she chose to spend her money that way, she responded with “as an only child, these are the brothers and sisters I never had. She decided to spend her $30 to help girls and boys who had been rescued from sex trafficking. But as she looked through the catalog, she kept turning the pages until she found what she was looking for. We figured she would want to buy some chickens for a family or clothing for a child, tangible items she was familiar with. It was the kind where you could purchase things like goats, chickens, food, and clothing for people in need throughout the world. When her mom asked her what she wanted to spend it on, she asked for the catalog we received from a non-profit humanitarian organization. Of course, we thought she would want to spend it on a stuffed animal or toy. When my daughter was little she received $30 for her birthday that she could spend on whatever she wanted.
