why do i want to help?

During the summer of 2016, I felt that God called me to be a missionary, I had no idea which country or what I would do. During that time I was about to finish my undergraduate degree. I was certain that I wanted to be used by God to heal the hearts of people around the world. I decided to go to China to work with children as an English teacher for two months. I never imagined that beyond teaching children a new language, I would work with children who were affected by the most significant abuse I have ever seen. After my arrival in China, I found out that the mothers of my students were involved in prostitution. Consequently, my students lived inside a brothel. When I remember the corridors of the brothel, which I describe as corridors of terror, I realize that it was at that specific moment in which I walked through them that a fire started within me. A desire to help all these women who beyond selling their body are hurting deeply. To look at them in the eyes was as if I was looking at someone who was dead. I just wanted to tell them you are a daughter of The Living God, He has called you by your name, you are unique, you are beautiful, you are most valuable than anything in this world, and a thousand other things. It was so repugnant to know that when the school day was over for these children, I had to take them home and they would see the line of men waiting for their turn to pay for a sexual service. I strongly remember that in between my tears I begged God to let me stay in China, that someway or another I could help these kids. God's answer was "not yet," I did not understand why, but I obeyed. I returned the U.S. to finish my degree in psychology and did my thesis about prostitution and human trafficking because I wanted to understand more about this subject to find effective ways to help.

why enough ?

Enough is a word that has been in my prayers since the day that I returned home from China. I remember how much I begged God to use me to do something to stop this atrocity. I knew that these children would grow up and have lived in these places would affect them so much. I believe that it has been enough pain that women in prostitution have experienced. It has been enough time that we have pretended that this issue does not happen. It has been enough of the misconception that women get involved in sex work for pleasure. It has been enough to assume that it is not up to us to do something. It's time to act; it's time to speak up for the ones who cannot, it's time to help, and it's time to ARISE!

How do we help?

I have been living in Shanghai since May of this year. I married a wonderful man of God who has been living here for five years. It is beautiful to see how God's perfect plan for our lives is gradually accommodating. I was able to return to China and actively help children and women. My dream to help combat this issue was not clear until we decided to create Enough. When my husband and I were praying for the percentage of the profit that we would donate to different non-profit organizations that combat human trafficking and prostitution we saw the grace of God incredibly. God revealed to both of us separately that we are supposed to donate 60% of Enough's profits to different organizations.
