A Partnership for Prevention and Healing: Share The Signal, Unbranded, and Fresh Start Surgical Gifts
Prevention. Restoration. Empowerment.
These are the steps we believe every survivor deserves.
Too often, the fight against human trafficking focuses only on rescue. But what happens before that moment matters just as much. And what happens after matters even more.
That is why Share The Signal, Unbranded, and Fresh Start Surgical Gifts are combining efforts. Together, we are building a new kind of partnership. One that supports survivors from the earliest stages of prevention to full-body healing and restoration.
This is about more than saving lives. It is about helping people rebuild them.
Why We Are Joining Forces
Sixty percent of trafficking victims are groomed while still living at home. Grooming is subtle and manipulative. It happens online, in schools, and in communities where most people would never suspect it.
At Share The Signal, our mission is to stop the cycle before it starts. We teach parents, teachers, teens, and communities how to recognize the signs of grooming and take action early.
But for many survivors, prevention did not come soon enough. And the trauma they carry often includes visible, physical reminders.
That is where Unbranded and Fresh Start Surgical Gifts step in.
Erasing the Marks of the Past
Branded tattoos are one of the cruel ways traffickers maintain control over their victims. Even after escape, these marks can make it difficult for survivors to move forward, often triggering shame and unwanted attention.
Through Unbranded’s state-of-the-art tattoo removal program, survivors can take back ownership of their skin. The process is safe, trauma-informed, and completely free of charge to those in need.
We believe your body should never be a billboard for someone else’s crime.
Rebuilding Confidence and Health
For many survivors, the trauma goes beyond the skin. Trafficking and exploitation can leave long-lasting physical injuries or deformities that affect both health and self-esteem.
Fresh Start Surgical Gifts provides world-class reconstructive surgery and healthcare services to survivors and children impacted by physical trauma. These services, delivered by medical professionals who volunteer their time and talent, give survivors the chance to reclaim their confidence and move forward with dignity.
And just like Unbranded’s services, all care is provided completely free of charge.
A Full Circle of Support
Together, Share The Signal, Unbranded, and Fresh Start Surgical Gifts now create a full circle of support for survivors:
- Prevention through grooming awareness and education
- Restoration through tattoo removal
- Healing through surgical care and ongoing community support
We are not just raising awareness. We are building pathways to prevention, healing, and empowerment.
Because survivors deserve more than rescue. They deserve a fresh start.
