Hi, my name is
Laura Esquivel
and I am the Community Mobilization Manager. I want to inspire and equip you to use what you have and love to do, to fight sex trafficking. You can raise money, make a huge impact and have a meaningful experience doing all of it.
Before I was on staff at Rescue:Freedom, I found myself in the exact spot that you are right now. I was compelled to do something to fight sex trafficking. I had an idea what that was going to look like, but I used the resources available to me and I went for it. I love to hike and get outdoors and I hate that exploitation still exists. So, in 2017, I rallied my community to go on an endurance hike and raise $5,000 for Rescue:Freedom. We ended up raising over $20,000 the first year and $80,000 the next year. Now, there is a robust community of people just like you that are raising nearly $800,000 annually. I am a firm believer that outlandish goals are within our reach. There is power when we come together as a community. It isn’t you or I on our own in this fight, it is US. Together, we can end sex trafficking in our lifetime.
