Her Dreams Shattered<\/span><\/h3>\n

Life at home was difficult for Praya. Dropping out of school at a young age, she followed the advice of friends and found work in a bar to support her impoverished family. Her dreams shattered, including having a career as a flight attendant.<\/span><\/p>\n

With customers considering it their right to sexually abuse her, Praya felt ashamed, dreaded each new day and wanted to give up on life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Destiny Rescue agents found Praya working in the bar and extended an offer of freedom, but there are over a million more children enduring exploitation every day. Will you send rescue? <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\t\tChange a life<\/a>\n\n
