One man is hoping to change the lives of domestic sex trafficking victims in a small Iowa town by raising almost a million dollars to fund a safe home for them during the Christmas season.
Nate Beaird, the media manager of Open Bible Church, launched his “Merry Christmas Nate!” campaign in October with the objective to raise $750,000 to help purchase a transitional living home for Wings of Refuge, an Iowa-based Christian organization dedicated to seeking “restoration” for adult women affected by domestic sex trafficking.
The organization is in need of a “transitional living home” where women who are ready to start living more independently can be in a more urban area where they have better access to transportation, grocery stores and job opportunities, Beaird explained to TheDCNF.
“When they get to a point where they want to start living independently, they want to go to school and get a job and they don’t have drivers’ licenses. So the same small town that is sort of a sanctuary also starts restricting them when they want to grow,” Beaird told TheDCNF.
