#dressember2018

April was an encouraging month for rescue as we heard news from @ijm that two successful rescue operations were conducted by IJM-trained organizations. These resulted in the freedom of two young boys (ages 5 & 7) who had been sold to a goat farm for $150, and the rescue of 12 children and 9 adults who were trapped in a brick kiln. _ In the words of IJM: “These two successful rescue operations are the fruit of IJM’s comprehensive anti-slavery program in India, whereby we’re working with governments, NGOs and other partners to help the justice system better protect the poor.” _ Learn more about the great work of IJM at ijm.org & mark your calendars to join us this winter for #dressember2018 where we have another opportunity to fund more rescues just like these. _ #itsbiggerthanadress #endhumantrafficking (at Los Angeles, California)

DRESEMBER DAY 12: Today I did Oula in my dress!!! For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s an aerobic dance class that’s all about how you feel while exercising, not what you look like! I love it. And today that was kinda weird at first. Going to the gym in a dress? Yeah people were probably confused but hey this proves you can do ANYTHING IN A DRESS! What challenge do you want to see me do? If I can raise 100 dollars by the end of the day tomorrow I’ll do something crazy in a dress! Share your challenges below, and donate here: https://dressember-2018.funraise.org/fundraiser/chloe-crawford #dressember2018 #itsbiggerthanadress #youcandoanythinginadress I forgot to take a gym selfie, but I promise I went! I have people who can vouch for me😂🤷🏻‍♀️ https://www.instagram.com/p/BrTZO0hnh85/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uzsrru0a41zg

#todayilearned the heartbreaking fact that the average cost of a slave in the modern world is $90. #dressember works to end it and make sure every life is valued as the priceless gift it is. . A $20 donation pays for a basic aftercare kit for survivors. Help support one person’s transition out of exploitation.

1 in 4 slaves in the world today are children. Many of those children are trying to repay debts or earn money for their family’s survival. Many are bound to their captors due to a variety of reasons that they have little to no control over. These can include their social status, financial instability, or responsibility to family. On their own it can be difficult to truly walk away as they may not have the knowledge of what resources are available to them. How can wearing a dress/tie everyday help children in slavery? Well, we believe that our voices together have power. Dressember relies on the expertise of our grant partners to use the funds we raise in #Dressember to break down barriers that keep children from experiencing hope and freedom from modern day slavery. On day 6 of Dressember, would you consider giving to help me raise my goal of $500?

DRESSEMBER DAY 2: Happy dressember 2nd everybody!!! Today is my second day wearing a dress this month to bring awareness to modern day slavery and raise money to help fund rescues and give resources to those who have been through sex trafficking! Whoo that was a long sentence. Anyway I love being a part of this movement. Knowing my donation and my OUTFIT is making a difference and spreading awareness about the 40.3 MILLION SLAVES in the world (and yeah that includes Minnesota). It’s despicable how high that number is but knowing I can make a difference gives me hope. We will not stop #untilallarefree! will you join me in this journey by donating? #askmeaboutmydress #dressember2018 https://dressember-2018.funraise.org/fundraiser/chloe-crawford https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq6Ncu5nR3y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b3quh9v88zit

DRESSEMBER DAY 1: Hello wonderful friends and family!!! Today is December which means for me and many other women (and men too!) it’s DRESSEMBER! We are dressing up to bring awareness to sex trafficking and take a stand against it by raising money to fund rescue missions as well as other things I can’t think of right now!!!! But you can check out my page and the dressember website to find out more about how YOU can make a difference in someone’s life and fight to end sex trafficking and slavery! I love you all and as I go on this journey I encourage you to pray about, or think about donating! Today is the first day and I will be posting everyday about this fundraiser and stories to share! I will also be posting to hold myself accountable to wearing a dress everyday!
