I am on Day 16 of something a little crazy, crazy for me at least. My dear friend, Kelly, spent her birthday month wearing the same black dress. Everyday!
I’ve followed suit with a white shirt.
Why, you ask? To raise money and awareness for The Daughter Project. It is a non-profit organization in Northwest Ohio that exists to help girls recover from the trauma of sex trafficking and helps to prevent others from being trafficked. I have great respect for the International Justice Mission, which exists to free people around the world who are victims of sex slavery, but I had no idea how much sex slavery existed in my own backyard.
My friend Kelly ends her 30 days of the black dress on her birthday, tomorrow, which will be my 17th day donning the same white shirt. I am ending on my 37th birthday, Wednesday, March 30th. In lieu of birthday gifts this year, I am asking that my peeps give a contribution to The Daughter Project so that they can complete a housing facility that the girls can live in during their rehabilitation and care.
In case you are wondering, I can wash the shirt. I do wear different shoes and jewelry occasionally, but the simplicity has been sweet on many fronts. My Mom and our sweet friend Kathy joined me, so they are sharing the message of freedom in Texas.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Please join me in praying that many, many women will be set free thanks to the brave people from The Daughter Project, IJM, and other organizations like them.
love what you’re doing…can’t wait to give to the cause.
love the shirt and so hope you don’t want to throw it away when you’re finished at the end of the month!
