Nora lived with her aunt, who was unable to provide her with the necessary care she needed. Forced to find a job and try to provide for herself, Nora began working at a local bar at only 17 years-old.

After a few months, the bar owner manipulated Nora into selling her body. The bar owner threatened that Nora would lose her job if she refused. She was terrified to lose her job because she had no other options — Nora felt completely trapped and alone. She began going from bar to bar where she was forced to dress up in high heels and sell her body. Nora was raped by up to 20 men a day. She thought she was going to be trapped in this nightmare forever.

Through our weekly outreach, our rescue team immediately recognized Nora’s horrifying situation and began building trust with her. Our team alerted authorities to organize a rescue, helping Nora escape her horrors and transition into our restoration home. Now, Nora lives in our home where she can be safe and continue her education. She finally goes to bed without the fears of tomorrow keeping her up all night. Because of YOU, Nora is moving forward, one day at a time.
