👉Worth the read:
You step off the ride still catching your breath.
Your kids are buzzing—faces flushed, voices overlapping as they relive the scariest parts. No one admits fear.
What’s next? Biggest drop?
Before that...food!

You drift toward a stand, eyeing an oversized smoked turkey leg, briefly wondering why yours never tastes that good.

That’s when you see them.

Three teenage girls sit on a bench just beyond the crowd. About your kids’ age. Close enough to notice without trying.

Something is off.

One picks at chipped nail polish like she can’t stop. Another nudges a dirty gumball back and forth with her shoe. The third stares at the ground, unblinking.
They aren’t laughing. Talking. Watching the chaos.

They aren’t really here.

A woman in her forties paces in front of them, phone in hand. Texting. Stopping. Turning. Her eyes flick to the girls, then sweep the crowd. Over and over. Waiting. Watching.

Your stomach tightens.

A child tugs your arm.
“Can we do this one next? Please. It’s only a thirty-minute wait.”

You nod, but your eyes drift back.

A man approaches. No smile. No hesitation. He hands the woman a backpack and speaks low. The girls stand immediately and move toward him. The woman replies fast, then disappears into the crowd with the bag.

The man stays.
He looks around once. Tilts his head.
The girls start walking. He follows close behind, scanning as they move.

Around you—families, strollers, laughter, music. No one notices.

But you do.
You know something is wrong.

You have a choice.
What do you do?

👉January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month 💙

Human trafficking is often hidden in plain sight, impacting people of all ages, backgrounds, and communities—even our own. It doesn’t always look like what we expect, which is why education is the first and most powerful step toward change.

When we learn the signs, understand the realities, and talk about it openly, we become part of the solution. 

Awareness leads to prevention. Knowledge leads to change.

No one can do everything—but everyone can DO SOMETHING!
See something, say something!

👉Learn. Share. Speak up. Support Love Missions and other good organizations on the front lines.

Together, small actions, CREATE BIG CHANGE.💙

Watch for events happening throughout the month.💙
