I feel sick to my stomach. I want to kick something. I want to do something.
What about you?
Chances are. . .you don’t know what to do. Here’s one easy thing. Think about it. Pray about it.
1. Have a yard/garage sale. On my website, I got a bunch of free resources to help you “save the girls.” Click the Save the Girls tab on my website and get your free Save the Girls Yard Sale Kit.
2. Hand out information sheets at your Save the Girls Yard Sale.
3. Promote Save the Girls by wearing Save the Girls tee shirts (if you like). Sell them too. They’re available at my store.
4. Donate a % of your proceeds to one of the anti-slavery charities at the Save the Girls page or another charity of your choice.
Ta-da! That easy.
If you have no plans for a yard sale or garage sale, consider talking to the youth leader at your church and hosting a Save the Girls car wash. Or do a lemonade stand. Or a bake sale?
Or?
Question: How can YOU make a difference?
