In October, I’ll be traveling to Moshi, Tanzania, in East Africa, to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro - more than 19,000 feet in elevation - in support of anti-trafficking efforts through Freedom Summit Adventures based in Grand Rapids, MI!

Freedom Summit Adventures hosts trauma-informed, holistic wellness retreats for women who have experienced any kind of sexual exploitation, sexual abuse, or human trafficking across the United States. They summit mountains with survivors as the physical representation of the emotional "mountains" they've been climbing, and host weekend getaways that are completely cost-free to victims, eliminating a critical barrier to their success.

At these retreats, survivors learn basic elements of good nutrition, they participate in an outdoor excursion, and experience trauma-informed practices like yoga, art therapy, and massage therapy. Dreams are being achieved through this organization, while the lives of women are being elevated and changed at a deep level.

In total, my goal is to raise $2,500 to allow 3 women to join Freedom Summit Adventures for a weekend away, as a chance for them to heal from sexual exploitation and/or human trafficking!

I want to invite you into this story, and ask if you'd be willing to financially support this organization and the incredible women served by it. I would love to answer any questions you have about this trip!

As a disclaimer, I’m funding my own trip expenses and don’t receive any of the money donated. All donations go right to Freedom Summit Adventures in their entirety!

Thank you so much!
