| | | | Dear John,
Thanks to our incredible supporters, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve reached our $100,000 match goal! But the journey doesn’t stop here—let’s keep going!
There’s still so much more to do to protect children and support our mission. This holiday season, your generosity can continue to make an even greater difference in the lives of children and families who need us most.
In just a few days, children all over the country will be celebrating the holidays and sharing their excitement online. Unfortunately, online predators will also be active, exploiting this joyous time to target vulnerable children.
In the last 40 years, NCMEC has answered over 5 million calls, and responded to more than 200 million reports of suspected child sexual exploitation. Sadly, as technology evolves, so do the tactics of those who seek to harm children. This is why your support is more vital than ever.
With your help, this past year we: Assisted law enforcement, families, and child welfare agencies with 28,886 cases of missing children. Reacted to a 300% increase of online enticement reports. Our 24/7 call center handled more than 148,000 calls, providing timely help and resources. Your generosity fuels this progress, and together, we can accomplish even more.
This holiday season, as you gather with loved ones, please consider making a gift to help us protect countless children from harm and build a safer future.
Thank you for being a part of this critical work. Let’s keep moving forward, together!
With gratitude,
John Walsh
Co-Founder, National Center for Missing & Exploited Children |
