Sr. Eugenia
returned to Baton Rouge on April 25, 2010 to spread her message
throughout the community.
Sister Eugenia, our
"Angel of the Streets" spends countless hours each week rescuing
women and children from kidnappers who exploit their victims through
unspeakable acts of human trafficking. Local efforts last year
raised more than $80,000 to help women and children imprisoned as
sex slaves. Help us help Sister Eugenia to continue her mission to
end the horrors of human trafficking.

Sister
Eugenia Bonetti is on the streets nightly, rescuing
women and children who have been imprisoned for human
trafficking through organized crime. As Sister so
succinctly puts it,
"No one
was born to be a prostitute."
Your contribution saves and rebuilds the lives of so
many nameless, faceless women and children considered,
in many cases, unwanted by society. Thank you!
Many thanks
to all who helped with the events scheduled in
Hammond and Baton Rouge, LA in 2010. Your support thus
far, and your continued prayers will hopefully get us closer to
the day when we can all rest, knowing that the horrors of human
trafficking are a thing of the past.
