I joined about 2012, after reading Slavehunter, by Aaron Cohen, not realizing before what a lethally depraved operation and activity child-sex-trafficking was and is. I read the horrifyingly riveting, yet inspiring, story of how Tim Ballard began O.U.R. and even adopted 2 of his little rescues. I watched a video of the work done in these places where poverty drives the crime( versus in the U.S. where deviance seems to reign), then felt I could trust that my money was well-spent. I am a rabid environmentalist; I have been all my life. But when I found out about this worst-of-all-societal-ills, I had to switch my focus to the tortured bodies, minds, and souls of the children abused for deviants' pleasure. I still support the organization, and hope to do far more in the future. Attached are a few pix of a huge fundraiser I helped with called "Ladies Spa Night" which took months of planning and labor, but netted over $15, 000--well worth the effort! It was an amazing evening of support.
I am a survivor that was volunteering with Traffick Refuge when I came across the O.U.R. Operation videos online. Then I attended the viewing of the Abolitionist movie. Our Helena, Montana area was having a difficult time connecting and training the local community until this video - which has been an answer to prayer as an excellent conversation starter that crosses over interest groups and backgrounds.
Operation Underground Railroad literally fuels the fire of my life dream. They try to do so much to find trafficked kids and rescue them, but also equip the local law enforcement to continue to do so after they initially help out. They’re set up for an aftercare where victims can recover and build back up their confidence and sense of self. 150/10 definitely recommend
I love volunteering with Operation Underground Railroad. My favorite yearly event is the July 4th Freedom Festival in Provo because so many people come and are there to celebrate freedom and seem especially touched by the plight of millions of children that are in slavery to human traffickers. The organization's leaders and many volunteers are all passionate about driving awareness of the issue and raising the funds to rescue and rehabilitate and educate them. They have rescued thousands of children and helped law enforcement partners put hundreds of traffickers in prison. Anyone who would have been an abolitionist in 1860 would want to join this cause as an abolitionist today.
O.U.R. Has touched my heart from the moment I learned about it. Just to know what Tim Ballard has created, from starting in his garage to now rescuing children from the most horrific act on this earth. These men risk their lives daily to save children from sex slavery. These men and woman give up their innocence to get back children’s innocence. This non profit is amazing. Tim and his crew put all that they have on the line all to put these disgusting traffickers behind bars. They have been educating the public and training law enforcement to spot victims, something that hasn’t been done before. With their education, more people can help, more lives can be saved. Thank you Tim Ballard for not closing your eyes to what you saw as a secret service agent. Thank you for making a difference. Thank you for saving Gods children.
I believe this organization is one of the most important of our day. They give a voice to those who have none. Politically socially and in many other ways, we live in a world of increasing divides between different categories of society. However, something all good or eve mediocre people can agree on is that we want human trafficking to end. O.U.R. gives us all a way to fight back.
This charity is saving children from exploitation. It is bringing these pedophiles to light and exposing how prevalent this evil is. There is nothing more important in these days.
Not only is Operation Underground Railroad easy to work with as a volunteer, their cause is so vital. They spread awareness about modern day slavery and sex trafficking, and they help us know how to combat it! Knowing + doing = the power to actually make a difference. Thanks, OUR!
I am an overseas volunteer and joined the cause as I was touched by Tim Ballard's (and his wife) journey and altruism in this cause. I am from Brazil and grew up hearing stories about children disappearing and being sold and remember my mom always being very cautious with me and my brothers wherever we went.
Once when I was only a baby she went to a farmer's market in Brazil and someone tried to take me from her arms. Just like that. It was the middle of the day and full of people around her. Luckily for me, she fought back, screamed and shouted and this person ran away. A few years later we travelled to a different country and someone tried to take my youngest brother when they noticed my dad left us with my mom to do some for a couple of minutes. My mom was very quick again and we were all safe.
I have children of my own and when I moved to a different country I remember my mom telling me to be extra careful with my children in all the airports and never take my eyes off them for a second. Sometimes people took her for being paranoid but I knew she wasn't. I will protect my children at all costs.
It was only after I heard about Tim's work that I realized how serious human trafficking actually is. It is much worse than me and I my mom ever imagined. It breaks my heart to even think about it. I was one of those people that couldn't bear to watch or read anything on the subject. It was too painful and I would picture my kids in the situation and feel sick. But O.U.R. taught me that it will be uncomfortable. It MUST be uncomfortable. And it's ok that it is. It is worth it feeling a little discomfort to help save children from A LOT of abuse and horror. So I decided to volunteer. I don't do nearly as much as I wish I could. But within the best of my abilities I have done fundraisers and share the message. And hope someone else listens.
I started as a volunteer for Operation Underground Railroad a few years ago. I originally helped with fundraisers but wanted to do more so I applied to volunteer in their main office answering phone’s and emails.
The stories and statistics were at times heart wrenching and overwhelming but it made me realize that there is no where else I would rather be.
I was later hired on as an employee but my love for each of our over 14,000 volunteers who continue the fight to help rescue children from all forms of human trafficking is immense and full of gratitude.
See them on social media and love reading on what being done. Hoping to get more involved as time allows
As a Volunteer team leader, I've had the honor and privilege of working with an amazing team of volunteers that stand ready and willing to do what's needed to assist in forwarding the cause. They have surpassed expectations several times and bring the very definition of excellence which astounds me everyday!
Working for this amazing organization has brought me into interactions I wouldn't have had otherwise such as our law eforcement and military personnel --some of which are part of our team!--political representatives, company leaders, working in cooperation with other non-profit organizations and other notable figures that continue to aid us in our fight I'm nothing but grateful for this organization and the work that they do.
God bless!
OUR is the most organized group of individuals. They are talented and efficient. I was blessed to spend a couple of days with the team at corporate and was amazed at how personable and kind everyone was. Due to the nature of my meeting with them I was pleased to learn that OUR operates on a 13% of donations with the rest going to fight the cause, and what a cause it is. These people have a special place in heaven awaiting them for the good they do in the world.
Happy to be a volunteer and “abolitionist” (monthly donor). This is one charity I will support throughout my life and only hope to be able to do more as time goes on. This is such an important work. Every child deserves to be safe and loved. O.U.R. goes in to the dark places to seek out every One. God go with and lead and protect them!
I've been working with these guys for several months and have monitored them for years. O.U.R. is the best nonprofit in the world, period.
O.U.R. brings light into the darkest places in the world. Not many are brave enough to enter a space where children are being abused and exploited. I am proud to volunteer for and be involved in an organization that prioritizes our most vulnerable population and gives them a voice.
I have loved volunteering for this non profit & am honored to be making a difference in the Industry along so many likeminded individuals!
I feel this is one of the best nonprofits out there. The money goes into the organization and helps with rescuing people enslaved. I volunteer for this organization and see first hand how passionate everyone is for this cause. Help us spread the word about human trafficking and help to rescue the victims.
This organization has helped so many children in powerful ways and I have loved helping them and look forward to helping them.
I am so glad that Tim Ballard was inspired by God and embraced and acted upon multiple miracles that occurred in his life, which eventually led him and his family on the journey of restarting Operation Underground Railroad.
When I first came across O.U.R. I was utterly devastated to discover how the problem of human trafficking is worse than it has ever been in recorded history. But I was also filled with so much hope in the Spirit of God to do whatever small things I can to support this divine movement.
I got a witness from the Holy Spirit that brother Ballard is a inspired instrument in the Lords hands to deal with these crimes in a renewed and enlightened way.
I am awed and astounded at the way he allows himself to be filled with miraculous courage to take on these ancient problems, but again, I know there is a power so much higher than him at work... the team at O.U.R. keeps growing and is filled with the most potent professional, intelligent and inspired people.
I'm so encouraged at the techniques employed by O.U.R. to rescue and rehabilitate these children.
Its inspiring to see the Godly way they work, within the constructs of the laws of the different countries of the earth that they are inspired to operate in.
They inspire local law enforcement to come up with fresh and potent strategies, catered to their specific problems and needs, in order to end these crimes in the most efficient and long lasting ways possible. What makes these ways even more long lasting are the after care programs for the victims who have been rescued.
Its fundamentally important in these after care programs, that these children (and young adults) are loved, guided, and healed in unique and individual ways.
They need to find out who they really can be and are. They need to believe that their trauma can be completely removed and that they can become entirely new people -even enabled to help end the terrible influences they were once themselves ensnared by.
Or perhaps an individual might find some other unique way to flourish and grow and contribute to healing and growth in the world - driving evil out of their communities!
There is no one static approach, as far as I can tell, that is used in the rehabilitation process, and I am so glad that there is such broad flexibility employed by O.U.R. in these things.
It seems that few organizations on earth are as uniquely enabled as O.U.R. !
Mr. Ballard's families sacrifice of commons securities to begin these miraculous efforts are greatly inspiring!
His life has been miraculously preserved as well! At one point he shared a story of how he was surrounded by hundreds of human trafficking terrorists, they had their guns up ready to open fire on him and his team. Tim retreated into a car beside him and just started praying fervently for deliverance... and all the terrorists just suddenly changed their mind, turned around, and walked away! Tis the hand of God in this no doubt!
I pray most every day that for the first time in history, through O.U.R. (and other organizations like it), and local law enforcement, that this ancient evil will finally be removed from the earth completely!
I beg Gods blessings upon us! Everyone! God speed the right!
I learned of this non-profit organization and felt a great need and desire to help. Operation Underground Railroad is dedicated to rescue and help children who are enslaved in sex trafficking. It is terrible that this crime exists in the world. I feel that O.UR. is truly dedicated to putting an end to this evil. Their sole interest is helping these children and ending this crime. It is not for personal gain or money. Thus, they appropriate funds wisely and go above and beyond in their efforts to utilize their resources to find and rescue the children that are victims. I am so grateful for organization. Alex Merrill
I became acquainted with this nonprofit after watching the documentary film "Operation Toussaint". I couldn't believe these horrific crimes were happening to children today. I wanted to do what I could to help the fight and I registered as a volunteer. Since then, I have not looked back. I have met some really great people who are all genuine and work on helping to fight the cause.
O.U.R. is beyond incredible. They bring hope to the hopeless and take on a work that works to eradicate one of the darkest evils this world has ever seen. I wish with my whole heart that they didn’t have to exist, but grateful they are there to combat the evil that they do. They are a full circle organization, which works to heal and help each of the victims they save beyond the actual moment of freedom from enslavement. As a donor I am kept well informed by O.U. R. on the positive progress they are making for which I am grateful!
I have donated and followed this organization for years. The work of stopping sex trafficking of children, and helping them heal after being set free, is not just what they do, it is also their heart. They are so caring and passionate about this work, they are worth supporting. The children of the world deserve to be free.
In my mind I designed an organization like this several years ago. Then WOW, here it is in reality. So glad OUR exists and is growing. So needed.
Big policies are very, very important, but they never get written unless enough people feel this personal connection, one strong enough to overcome the noise in life. OUR does a fantastic job of making it personal, earning victories and encouraging action without shaming you for your dollars. They do amazing work.
Grateful for people like OUR who are willing to shine a light on the shadows we all wish didn't exist. They deserve all the help they can get.
O.U.R. is an incredible organization, whose cause is among the most hearwrentching and noble. They have always been so easy to work with and they make sure I know I am part of the fight afainst human trafficking. They are so good at helping me to see what the donations are being used for. They want more than just donations; they want awareness, rhey want this issue being talked about, they want my help to spread the word. They are incredible.
I am donor and had my first Awareness Booth this past weekend. It was great. I am currently training to be a team leader. This is an awesome organization and I’m so proud to be a part of it.
My family and I I’ve been helping OUR for about 2 years now and I couldn’t be more happy to give $50 a month to such a cause. I homeschool my kids and educating them about everything OUR does, watching the OUR movies is a regular part of our schooling. I hope that some day my family and I can be a physical part in helping OUR or their after care program. As sad of a thing it is that OUR is needed, I am so grateful there are groups out there that fight against sex trafficking and help with the after care of those who are rescued. It gives me more hope that there are still plenty of great people in the world.
There has been way too many young girls vanish from our small suburban community connected to Kansas City, MO. I wanted a way to help rescue them and stop this horror of human trafficking I had learned of. I came across a random article about O.U.R. and started reading up on it. Their goal, their abilities because they are not a gov't agency, the way they use their training and experience to do humanitarian work, their networking with other agencies so they can make sure victims are completely ready to re-enter society. This agency and it's partners is the only way we can all get involved in ending the horrors of slavery because no government is benefiting and nobody is getting money to release hostages. O.U.R. is the recipient of any donations I can afford because they are the real deal.
My sister introduced me to OUR a couple of years ago. As I did my own research, I was impressed with how directly their fundraising resources impact their action. They are not a "top heavy" nonprofit so your donations go farther. Because I believe in their cause AND believe in their approach, especially their after care programs, I offer them free advertising in a magazine I publish.
This organization is remarkable in the work they do saving children from the horrific world of human trafficking. I can’t think of a more important work to do than protect our children and they are making a difference one successful operation at a time. I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn from them and be a volunteer.
I think this is one of the most important organizations in the last 10 years. To take a problem that 99% of the people were unaware of and create a viable organization that both rescues people, then takes care of them, and educates the rest of us to be aware. Thanks always and prayers for continued success.
My story with O.U.R. began when my mom, who had worked for U.S. Customs/Homeland Security all my life, told me about a guy who was an agent with them who left to start a non-profit that catches human traffickers and saves victims, especially kids. This is an area of work I was considering in college when she wisely told me that I don't have the personality to be able to do that work day in and day out and not let it affect me. Since I've dug in deeper to see what O.U.R. has been able to accomplish and see the fruit of their labor, I just couldn't be more blown away with their work. This is not a charitable organization that just anyone could start or actually make successful. This is a group that is divinely inspired and blessed in their efforts, and it's work that none of us regular joes can do, but we can spread awareness and donate! I'm happy to fund O.U.R. through the end of time if it means someone is going in for those kids that otherwise have no hope. They deserve all the credit in the world!
My first experience with Operation Underground Railroad was watching a documentary about the search for little Gardy. It touched my heart and soul in a way no other cause had. Despite being a full-time caregiver for my elderly mother and disabled sister and running a home-based business to supplement our family income, I have found a cause I can make a difference in! I share and re-post success stories and instructional links that can help us all to be more aware and alert to the possibilities of this evil all around us. I take part in O.U.R. Fundraisers and share the opportunities with my friends and family. In my own very small way, I am helping to eradicate the very evil of child sex trafficking! Please join us!
Thanks to the love and commitment of O.U.R., Inc., many young lives are being saved and restored. God bless you and the children! It’s a blessing to know that beautiful help is on the way. Thank you!
I love operation underground railroad and everything about their foundation. I'm proud to be a monthly supporter and anything else they need of me. They are the light that shine in darkness and each individual asks for no reward, being the light is enough. Thank you for all you do and letting me be apart of breaking of the chain of slavery!
I never knew what an epidemic child sex trafficking was in this world. I've been shocked and horrified as I've learned more through this organization. But I've also never felt so proud of the bravery of these good people who have made such a difference in the lives of so many. My faith in humanity has been restored through their efforts.
I first heard of this charity on the radio and all the really good work they have done around the world. Saving the most vulnerable people from the worst types of conditions is very admirable. I decided to become a monthly donor to help support the recurring benefits that they provide to the victims they save. I am only one person but they make me feel that my donations help those in desperate need. I called once and they were very warm and appreciative. I encourage people all the time to join in on this battle against evil. God bless them!
I love O.U.R. Their mission, the way they empower others to do their part, and most importantly I love what a difference they have made in the fight against child sex trafficking. They do so much to help educate the public and assist law enforcement in anyway they can. I will be a volunteer and donor for life!
I don't have some great story and pictures to share, but what I do have is a far larger knowledge base in regards to human and sex trafficking thanks to the fine folks at O.U.R. I first learned about them a year ago when my brother donated to their cause. Since then I have done a few of the online training courses, and I am looking to get more involved with helping bring awareness to the cause. My family, which includes our 4 children, are grateful for O.U.R. and the work they do. We will do our best to help.

I’m inspired daily by the courageous, brave and kind acts displayed by Operation Underground Railroad! The exist to rescue children from slavery, as well as educate those who are vulnerable. What an excellent non profit!!!
I have volunteered and donated to OUR. They continue to attract attention and provide hope to such a scary and devastating epidemic in our world. I will forever be an OUR supporter.
Operation Underground Railroad rescued many sexually trafficked girls in Colombia. No organization has been so dedicated to help this innocent children like them. Unfortunately, there is a lot of sex tourism that leads to exploitation of minors there. O.U.R had free them and help the victims recover and heal. That is why I become an abolitionist (I send a small amount of money monthly). I am feel very grateful!
I am a new volunteer for Operation Underground Railroad, and I am very impressed not only with the importance of their mission, but with their approach to solving the problem and the successes they are already accomplishing, and doing it in a way that provides long term help for those rescued for permanent solutions. What could be more important than saving our children from slavery?
I've been a volunteer with Operation Underground Railroad since 2016. The organization holds true to its mission to rescue children and stop perpetrators. I can't think of a better cause.
The organization is managed by trust-worthy people and an army of volunteers who work tirelessly to end human trafficking.
Operation Underground railroad has a meaningful beginning and has only continued to grow. As I have begun volunteering for O.U.R. I have seen a change in my life. It is the greatest cause in my life aside from my personal beliefs and religion. To me saving children is a religion. I've involved my children in some fundraising events and have been able to prepare them for the world. The thing I love most about O.U.R. is if you have a desire to serve, there is room for you in the organization. We have such a variety of volunteers that anyone can help! O.U.R. FOR LIFE!
I began volunteering with O.U.R. five years ago and have been extensively involved with them ever since. I love the work they are doing, the staff and volunteers I work with, and the results that I've seen from all of our efforts. This organization is unparalleled in what they have been able to accomplish and I'm proud to be a part of the work they are doing!
