Fighting against human trafficking takes effort from a variety of sources, every day. Organizations like Love 146 dedicate themselves to working to end human trafficking — and also to help people putting their lives back together after suffering from this terrible practice.
Understanding how human trafficking effects your city or town
During different news cycles, it might feel like you're hearing about more human trafficking situations taking place in areas with which you're familiar.

The turquoise Tiger's Eye offers intense grounding properties for its wearer, while Golden Obsidian offers protection. The combination provides a reminder that we can work against negative forces, especially for those who need additional protection. Designed to be worn together, the bracelets come in a set of two, and 50% of the gross proceeds will be donated to Love 146.
