For most of us, a phone call is an everyday act, but for survivors of human trafficking, it's a rare moment of hope in a journey marred by darkness and despair. Blue Dragon, an organisation committed to breaking these chains of captivity, provides these survivors with everything from shelter to psychological care. Yet, amid all this support, nothing can replace the incomparable comfort of hearing a beloved family member's voice. 🏡💕
The reality for these survivors is heart-wrenching. Many are young girls and women who have been cruelly betrayed by people they once trusted. Sold into forced 'marriages' or brothels, they endure unthinkable trauma. By the time they arrive at Blue Dragon's community-based shelters, their spirits are often broken, trust shattered, and lives upended. It's in this delicate period of healing and rebuilding that your this cards contribution comes into play.
A phone call home offers offers a touchpoint to a past and a future where love and hope exist. It's a promise that even in the harshest circumstances, love transcends distance and adversity. 🌈 In some instances, survivors cannot return home due to societal stigma or potential risks to their safety. That's when the gift of a phone call becomes priceless, acting as a soothing balm for the soul. It's a reminder that despite the odds, they are not alone; that the warmth and love of family can reach them, no matter where they are. 🌍❤️
Use our editor to write a message for your loved one.
We’ll print your message on the inside of the greetings card so your gift is ready to be given.
Then we’ll call up our favourite postie to hand deliver your impact to your loved one.
Our model’s a little different - we work with impact partners on the ground to keep things transparent and effective. These partners are local community organisations and small charities who can get your impact action done in the most efficient way. And rest easy knowing these partners are thoroughly vetted each year to make sure your impact is truly making a difference.
Now for the best part: seeing your impact in action! About 6-12 months after you send your impact, we’ll pop you (and your recipient if you’ve given us their email) an update. This could include text, images, and videos showing how your thoughtful impact has helped transform lives. Who knew giving could feel so good?
