Dear Friend,
You have been a Spark that has ignited incredible change. Thanks to you, ALIGHT has helped hundreds of human trafficking survivors escape their painful past and build a brighter future for themselves and their children.
ALIGHT’s work is unique. We provide the missing piece in the recovery process—trauma-informed legal services— that are often too expensive and too specialized for most organizations to offer. On average, each survivor receives approximately $7,000 in legal value. We don’t just offer one-time help. We work with each survivor from start to finish, however long it takes and through every legal challenge, until justice is achieved.
Meet Georgia (name and identifying details changed for privacy). Georgia first came to ALIGHT in 2021. Trafficked as a child, she endured exploitation in multiple industries—casinos, construction sites, spas and on the streets. Now a mother of three, her trafficker had seized her personal documents, using them to find her multiple times. We helped Georgia legally change her name and social security number to protect her identity. In 2023, she returned for help to fight for custody of her baby. By 2024, she was back again, needing another name change after her traffickers found her once more.
Survivors like Georgia deserve a dedicated partner every step of the way. With your continued support, ALIGHT can be there every time Georgia or any survivor turns to us. We know the path to recovery is long and challenging, and we are committed to walking every step of that journey with them.
Your steadfast support makes all the difference.
Will you join us again to help ensure no survivor walks this path alone?
Thank you for being part of our community and for considering renewing your support. Together, we can continue to light the way for those rebuilding their lives.
With gratitude,
Peggy Fraser, ALIGHT Board Member
