“Hopes & Dreams” International™ is a division of The“Will Santa Find Me?” Foundation™, a non-profit (501)(c)(3).

Our mission is to keep “Hopes and Dreams” alive for children suffering in bondage. Many of these children are dying physically, spiritually, and/or emotionally. These children have been robbed of their childhoods and their voices unheard.

Our main focus is on American children who are sex trafficked and used as modern day slaves within the United States and globally. Many of the children we help suffer from the bondage of adult deception, HIV infection, manipulation and corruption. Help us to create unique Healing Centers for sex trafficked children who have been emotionally and physically abused. Our precious little children are God's gifts to us and we must take responsibility.

• Every year, 1.2 million children are sold into sex slavery (UNICEF).
  
  
• Child sex trafficking is a multi-billion dollar industry. The profits from selling children for sex, is second to trafficking drugs.
  
  
• Children as young as three years old (even babies), are brutally beaten, drugged, starved, and raped up to 30 times a day.
  
  
• Children are kidnapped from the United.States at an alarming rate and sold internationally into brothels and upscale “gentleman clubs”. In the United States a child is lost or abducted every 40 seconds (U.S. Dept. of Justice).
  
  
• The act of destroying the innocence of our precious children is horrific, and the need to step in and make a difference is a MUST. It is our responsibility, individually and collectively as a Nation. Many of these children are discarded into the streets with HIV.

“Hopes & Dreams” International™ started off helping families in Cambodia to prevent the sale of children into sex trafficking by empowering women to become self sufficient. This effort lead us to our main emphasis, building a unique Healing Center in the United States for American children who are being sex trafficked.

In 2007, we had the pleasure of meeting actor Dean Cain, Superman on the TV show, "Lois and Clark". He introduced us to the real "Superman/Rambo", Ty Ritter, thus our journey began. We are now partnering with Ty Ritter, founder of Project Child Save.Together we will work as a team in the rescue, recovery and healing of these precious broken children.

We have two programs within Hopes & Dreams International™

Preventive Care: To stop child sex-slavery 

		“Hopes & Dreams” International™ has reached out globally, to families in Cambodia to improve their living conditions and prevent families from selling their children into sex trafficking. “In June 2006, Cambodia was ranked as one of the worst countries in the world for human trafficking.” (U.S. State Dept.). Because of poverty conditions, many children are forced to leave their home in exchange for money, to only end up immersed in the dark horrific world of child sex trafficking. “Hopes & Dreams” International™ gave hope to several families by empowering one family at a time. We sent the oldest girls to learn a trade, such as cosmetology and sewing and in just 5 months we helped them to further their dream by securing employment. This opportunity has been an inspiration to others by keeping their hope alive for the promise of a better life. Our goal is to empower one family at a time and to prevent the selling of children into child sex slavery.

After Care: To heal suffering children

“Hopes & Dreams” International™ is creating unique Healing Centers for children who have been sex trafficked to heal and educate these suffering children who are dying spiritually, emotionally, and/ or physically. Many of these children are discarded into the streets with HIV. Our Healing Centers are designed to be unique, creative, and fun. We want to heal these broken children through laughter, joy and compassion, teaching them to trust again, through the main use of horse therapy. Several forms of therapy and programs will be used, such as the arts, horses (Peruvian and abused/discarded foals), massage/skin care, physical training, and spiritual healing. We want to heal these precious children in body, mind, and spirit, so they can begin to love the person they were created to be. The first Healing Center will be built within the United States in California, and serve as a model for Healing Centers throughout the world.

Our main focus is to heal and restore childhoods.
