FUNDRAISER - Care Kits for Anti-Trafficking Efforts


Friends, YOU have an opportunity to become involved in the very first step that happens when women come through the doors of Anti Trafficking Bureau (ATB) next year! 
Mark your calendar to join us Tuesday, October 9th on Facebook for a party with a purpose.


Allow me to introduce you to my dear friend Joanne Hebert. We've been besties since pre-teens, have had countless sleepovers at each other's houses, picked strawberries during the summers together as kids, played in a band together as teenagers, and been in each other's weddings as young adults!
Along with being wife to her paramedic husband and mom to their two precious children, Joanne has been an independent Lemongrass Spa consultant for the past 2.5 years. Lemongrass Spa (LGS) is a company producing over 400 affordable haircare, skincare, and beauty products that are all made with fresh, clean, natural, and organic ingredients. 

Joanne has been looking for an opportunity to contribute, in some way, toward the anti-trafficking work I've been involved with here in the Dominican Republic (DR), and that opportunity finally came when LGS recently released their Human Kindness Kit. 



This Kit contains lip balm, facial wash, deodorant, and lotion - all made with fresh, natural ingredients and has been specifically designed to positively impact at-risk persons. For every Kit sold, as a company, LGS donates $1 to their anti-trafficking organization of choice. To further the impact, they are encouraging their consultants to use these Kits in fundraisers, events, and other contribution opportunities where human kindness is desperately needed.


We are now on a mission! A mission to raise funds for at least 200 kits that will be given to women when they first come through ATB's Assessment Center in 2019 and beyond.


This fundraiser will be held in the form of a Facebook Lemongrass Spa Party 
beginning October 9th!
  • Joanne and I will be hosting the event through multiple live video chats, fun games, drawings for prizes, and interactive posts including information on Lemongrass Spa products, how they are made, what benefits they have, and what they are used for.
  • I will also be sharing my story about how I first became involved in missions and anti-trafficking, how I ended up moving to the Dominican Republic, what impact getting married played on that, and finally, how I got to where I am now with Anti Trafficking Bureau!
  • We'll launch the party at 8:30 pm EST, going live in an interactive video with Joanne and myself chatting about all the fundraiser and party details, as well as answering your questions about ATB and anti-trafficking efforts on the spot.
  • Everyone who attends the party will have the opportunity to purchase any Lemongrass Spa products, including the Human Kindness Kits, for their own personal use as well, just like a normal party. Joanne will be donating a percentage of her commission as a consultant for this party to ATB, so personal orders will also be contributing towards anti-trafficking efforts. 
  • The party will be a multiple Mystery Hostess show, meaning-  everyone who attends the party and either donates 2 kits or purchases $50 value in LGS products, will get their name entered into a drawing to receive party hostess benefits, which include free products and discounted products. AND the party is going to be so big that we'll have up to 10 hostesses for this event!
  • The party will last for 3 days to give everyone a chance to check out the Kits, re-watch the videos, participate in the games, and peruse the products; and the page will be open for 2 additional days so that we are able to personally answer questions and give everyone time to get their orders in.  

Join us directly on Facebook here or reach out to us via text/call/email at our contact info below - or simply leave a comment on this blog :) - if you'd like to join our fundraiser in October. It will be hosted in an open group, so you can even invite your friends to join the party, as well, once you are added to the group!

If you'd like a physical catalog in preparation, get us your address by Sept. 28th and we'll send you one asap. (check out the LGS fall digital catalog here in the meantime) 


You all, I am SO beyond excited about this fundraiser! These Kits will be given to women rescued from trafficking, along with clean clothes, a bed, and good food, as their first welcome stepping into a safe, protected, prayed-over environment. The Kits will be used and enjoyed as their cases are processed and the road to emotional, physical, and spiritual healing and freedom begins. 


Spread the word and please be praying for this fundraiser! That God may be glorified and lives be changed, one small step at a time.
