From the desk of Margie Quin, CEO
Dear End Slavery Tennessee Supporter,
I hope you had a wonderful, restful Christmas with your family. I enjoyed time with both my families — husband and daughter and End Slavery Tennessee (ESTN) family.
This year, our annual ESTN holiday celebrations were special and hands down one of the fondest memories of my career. We celebrated our first holiday season at the Survivor Restoration Campus, ate delicious Chinese food for Christmas (at the request of survivors!), decorated Christmas cookies and showered survivors with gifts and love.
Here at ESTN we are redefining healthy community. The holidays can bring up mixed emotions for survivors of human trafficking because often their victimization was carried out by someone (mother, father, boyfriend) deeply connected in their community. So, ESTN must reframe what healthy relationships should and can mean –dependability, unconditional love and joy. Above all, stability is one of the most important components of the environment we aim to create at our new campus.
In 2022 our campus housing will open. We will increase our housing capabilities, lengthen our residential program and strengthen clinical resources all within a supportive community.
But we cannot do it without the generosity of OUR community.
Will you join me in making a gift to our end of year campaign? Help me reach our $264,000 giving goal so we can ensure 22 survivors receive life-altering resources in 2022 and become a part of our ESTN family.
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to serve survivors, and I hope you will continue to fight with us to end exploitation in its most horrific form.
Margie Quin
