Compassion First

“Creating sustainable change that empowers survivors to rebuild their lives”

All royalties earned from To Dance are being reinvested to fund the organization Compassion First and their efforts to prevent sex trafficking and aid sex trafficking survivors in Indonesia. After partnering with local law enforcement to rescue children who have been exploited, the CF team provides shelters that offer trauma-specific counseling, higher education services, legal advocacy, and interest-based opportunities. These programs that focus on individualized care allow survivors to heal from their pain and reimagine their futures in a safe and secure environment.

Along with their aftercare shelters, CF also has community outreach programs that serve a local cemetery. Deceived by the promise of money and protection, young boys are lured into drug dealing, while young girls and women (who are often impoverished, disabled, orphaned, or widowed) are preyed on by sex traffickers. These vulnerability factors can create generational cycles of abuse that are impossible to break with the outside help of organizations like Compassion First. This is yet another reason why the work they do is crucial to eradicating evil, fighting injustice, and liberating the oppressed.
