Today Renee and I are cheering for a cause we believe in.<\/p>\n
It makes our stomach churn and is uncomfortable to talk about. \u00a0BUT it is too important NOT to bring your attention to it.<\/p>\n
What is this epidemic? Child sex trafficking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Today we are cheering for\u00a0The Abolitionists Movie<\/a><\/strong> and the heroes fighting for these children.<\/p>\n There are over two million enslaved children forced into the sex industry. \u00a0This is a story about their rescue and the team\u2019s exploits as they investigate and liberate enslaved children from around the world.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”https:\/\/cheerykitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Operation-Underground-Railroad-Sidebar-Image-5-300×250.png” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”on” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” url=”https:\/\/ourrescue.org\/”] \u201cThe only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n Edmund Burke<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n On December 10th, 2013 Special Agent Tim Ballard turned in his Homeland Security badge and resigned from his employment with the United States government. He had spent over a decade rescuing children from child sex tourism both domestically and overseas.<\/p>\n These children constitute over 90% of the children lost to child sex slavery and he could do nothing to help them while in the employment of the US government.<\/p>\n Renee and I had the life-changing opportunity to watch “The Abolitionists<\/strong><\/a>” a couple months ago. \u00a0We sat next to the heroes who were risking their lives on the screen. \u00a0Watching their faces during the movie and seeing how committed they are to this cause was life-changing for us.<\/p>\n We knew we wanted to help but we didn’t know how. Until now.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”https:\/\/cheerykitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/13129674_1175005345851488_1301524617_n-1.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”on” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” url=”https:\/\/ourrescue.org\/”] The Abolitionists<\/a><\/strong> is a movie that will bring this desperate problem to the attention of the masses. But only<\/strong> if the masses go and see the movie.<\/p>\n
