Traffick911 is the only agency providing 24/7 crisis response to child sex trafficking victims across all of North Texas: Dallas, Tarrant, Denton, Collin, Ellis, and Rockwall Counties.
Traffick911 exists with the sole purpose of freeing youth from sex trafficking by building trust-based relationships. This is accomplished by a 24/7 crisis response and the Voice & Choice Program Team walking alongside child sex trafficking victims and with Multi-Disciplinary Team partners. Traffick911 was founded in 2009 by community activists who discovered that child sex trafficking was happening in North Texas. Over its history, the organization’s abolition efforts include training over 82,000 youth and adults face-to-face with prevention and awareness messages, training over 18,000 first responders, and directly serving over 2,000 survivors.
Mission: To free youth from sex trafficking through trust-based relationships.
Vision: Communities free from relational brokenness.
Values: Hope, humility, and humanity
This past year was turbulent for many of the resilient kids and caregivers we serve, and we found ourselves covering the costs of emergency things that don’t have a place in our budget.
We can’t always anticipate the unique types of emergent needs and barriers survivors may have, so for the last few years, we created a line item in our budget that became known as the “Blue Line”—an Emergency Fund.
A heightened influx of emergency needs this year has depleted our emergency fund, and now, more than ever, we need your help to replenish these crucial resources.
As Advocates encounter major urgent needs of the survivors they serve, we discuss the needs collaboratively and ask, “Is this a Blue Line item?” Our leaders make the call. Thanks to our Emergency Fund, we have been able to say “Yes” to special circumstances and offer assistance to survivors and their families when they've needed it most.
Examples of emergency needs we have been able to meet with this fund include:
- Mattresses, refrigerators
- Flights and travel expenses to help survivors return home or urgently relocate
- emergency housing for kids and families experiencing homelessness
- Expert legal assistance
- Childcare assistance
- Emergency medical care
- Specialized residential treatment (for trafficking, mental health and/or substance misuse)
When you give for North Texas Giving Day, you will refuel our Blue Line Emergency Fund, and ensure the 300 kids and caregivers we serve continue receiving the emergency care they desperately need.
Traffick911 serves every victim regardless of race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation. The Voice & Choice Program Team receives ongoing training on emerging issues within the child sex trafficking victim population and strives to implement that knowledge into the everyday services provided to child sex trafficking victims.
