February is known as the month of love – due to the celebration of Valentines. This year it is also the month of the Super Bowl: February 11.

Many people have been manipulated in the name of love – and as a result, they become victims of sex trafficking. If you’d like to understand more about the scope of trafficking at this huge event, read this article:

We have shipped over 50 Hope Bags to Las Vegas for use around the various outreaches happening there. May each Bag be a sign of Hope to the survivors offered a way out of “the life.” (We’ve shipped over 140 Hope Bags already this year – we’re so very grateful for all who help us collect the right, new products for them! Please see below for our most needed items list.)

A legal case recently in Colorado Springs resulted in one pimp being found guilty of 3 charges; we trust that the sentencing (in a few months) will be just.

We’re still compiling our Annual Impact Report for 2023 and hope to be able to share it with you soon. Just a glimpse at our numbers: 46% of our budget went into the Hope Bag/Stocking program, 36% was invested in our Survivor Care program, and 18% was used to support our administration/fundraising.

We are looking forward to helping even more Survivors find Hope in 2024.

May you remember on Valentine’s Day, and every day, that you are loved.

Blessings,
Sues Hess, Exec. Dir., and the RHope Team
