The sun has gone down, the busy day is over, and you look over and see your beautiful children at home, safe and loved--where they belong. What a peaceful feeling.

However for many families, the heartbreaking reality is otherwise. Although the circumstances vary, their kids are not at home safe where they belong--they are "out there" somewhere in the night. Perhaps they'd run away, were kidnapped, or deceived. Some of these kids didn't even have the blessing of a stable and loving home from which to run. Whatever the case, they are in danger. Once trapped, they may not have a voice to speak out. They need our help, intervention, and for our voices to cry out For The Silent.

For The Silent is a desperately needed and hope-giving organization here in East Texas that seeks to do just that. For The Silent's mission?

Through prevention, survivor care, and community transformation programs — we work to end sex trafficking and exploitation by empowering the voices of vulnerable and exploited youth.
