Hike for Amirah

Hi everyone! Thank you for clicking into my fundraising page. I will be hiking this week to "Move for Amirah" by Amirah, an organization that helps survivors of sex trafficking escape their abusers. By donating to Amirah, you will be helping real women in the Greater Boston area escape and recover. Did you know that "less than 1% of trafficking victims escape?" I became involved with Amirah after reading the book "Half the Sky", it is heartbreaking and eye opening; it is unforgettable and passionately written. The end of the book also provides readers with various ways to get involved. I chose Amirah because I can see first hand the difference Amirah makes for these women through volunteering in one of their safe homes. Amirah also does so much incredible work, outreach, and education surrounding sex trafficking and trauma informed care. As a nurse, I focused a lot of my term projects on care for patients who have experienced abuse and I hope to grow and learn more in this area. Any donation would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
