Hey guys!
I’m writing this to ask your help in raising money for women
that are stolen, abused and taken away from their families! My husband
and son have been a part of Freedom 8848 since 2019 and each summer
they have been raising money and hiking to support different
organizations to help these women in prevention, rescue and
restoration for a better life.
I have joined with my son and husband this year to go and conquer
these mountains and to raise as much money as I possibly can for these
women to know what God truly wants for them. These women were not
meant for abuse, they weren’t meant to be scared to wake up the next
day and they weren’t made to be sold! Please help me make a difference
and allow these organizations to do things that change not just a
couple women’s lives but numbers and numbers of lives!
I grew up in northern Manitoba and to know that one of the crazy
statistics that made me wanna join and help in anyway I could
was “Though they make up just 4% of the Canadian female
population, indigenous females make up 50% of reported cases of trafficking.”
Even 5.00 makes a difference! THANKYOU from the bottom of my heart for the support and allowing Cale and I to conquer this incredible feet!

The ProblemSex Trafficking is one of the fastest growing criminal industries in the world. Here in Canada, this crime takes place daily in our biggest cities and our smallest towns. As you read these words, an estimated 50 million people are living in slavery. Stripped of their safety, dignity and liberty. This is nearly 1 in 150 humans. It's already illegal, now it needs to end. | The MissionAt Freedom 8848, our mission is to end the crime of sex trafficking by helping ordinary people stand with local and global anti-trafficking initiatives. Together we raise funds and awareness for our partner organizations as they fight sexual exploitation by Preventing trafficking, Rescuing victims, and Restoring survivors. | The ChallengeThe massive scale of this problem can feel like an overwhelming mountain of injustice, but just like Mount Everest, towering at 8,848 meters, it can be conquered. One step at a time. This August, Climbers will take on Everest, here in the Canadian Rockies at the 6th Annual Everest Freedom Challenge. |
Freedom 8848 is proud to partner with:
PreventMany young people don’t know how to spot danger or what to do when they face it. By addressing root causes and equipping communities with the tools to recognize risky situations, we prevent sexual exploitation from happening in the first place. | ProvideWhen a child survives the unthinkable, it takes more than a few toys to give them back their childhood. We provide safe housing with a nurturing family environment and classrooms that reignite their imagination. Step by step, survivors can rebuild trust and rediscover freedom. | PrepareLeaving the safe home to build a future is a huge step for survivors—one filled with hope, challenges and the question: ‘Can I really make it on my own?’ We help prepare survivors for adulthood through job training, post-secondary scholarships and guidance, so they can chase their dreams with confidence. |
