Human And Sex Trafficking: Save Our Children

Save the children from human and sex trafficking has finally come front and center recently. This business has become a multi-billion dollar a year business at the expense of our children. We are very thankful our government both Federal and State have implemented programs to begin to apprehend and prosecute these evil individuals who are responsible for ruining the lives of so many of our young people.

Human and sex trafficking is in our large cities, our suburbs, our rural areas, small communities, and within our own neighborhoods.  This is an evil business that hides in the shadows of our every day living.  


I would like to share a couple of  FACTS with you that most people are not aware of:  

  1. Most people think all of these children are run-a-ways,  kidnapped, or have met someone on the internet,  NOT TRUE FOLKS!!  Of all the children who have fallen prey to this evil 60-68% (depending on what statistics you read) have had a history in the child welfare system.  This leads us to the second fact.

  2. Children aging out of the foster care system;  I recently read a headliner stating these children are a pipeline to human trafficking.    

We ask ourselves, how can this be?  When a child never knows a real family, love, structure, and stability, a desperate need to be wanted and cared for becomes a part of who they are.  Most of these children have never been taught good life skills which we all know are so important to become responsible adults. Does it surprise you how they become victims when a predator offers them love, money, and security when they have nothing and no one?


We all want to help in some way with this horrific problem and we can.  We all can start by taking the first step within our own community.  By supporting Circle Ranch for our foster children in need of housing you will be giving them the opportunity to have a family with Christian values, stability,  unconditional love, and a chance to become a productive member of our community.


Please consider this need within our community and give what you can to help these children in need.


Thank you,

Jody Sandwick

Our Children's Needs Are Serious | Our Mission Is Clear

One of the most fragile things on this earth is the heart of a child. Everyday so many of these hearts are shattered by abuse, neglect and abandonment. Hearts are broken through substance abuse in the home or shattered as a result of domestic violence. Many of these children have suffered trauma that we cannot even imagine.

It is difficult for each of us to fathom who would break the heart of an innocent child although over and oven again it happens right here within our own community.  With each passing day the numbers of abuse and neglect continue to rise.

According to a recent article in the Eatonton Messenger Georgia ranks close to the bottom (42) in the nation for child well-being.  I often hear, “ Isn’t Foster Care being paid for through our taxpayers dollars? Yes, this is true, although the Department of Family and Children’s Services (Foster Care) simply have too many kids and too few homes.

Our Service area has lost almost 50% of foster homes in the last few years. These children entrusted to us as a community need our help to provide a home and bring hope to these fragile hearts so that healing can begin.
