My O.U.R. Rescue Master List

I first learned about Operation Underground Railroad from Stephanie Nielsen's blog in August 2014 - her husband helped on an operation in the Dominican Republic. Since then I've been looking for more information about who are the people involved and what they do. With everything I learn, I am more inspired at how totally awesome they are - these are TRUE HEROES. If you want to do something good today, learn and educate yourself on this terrible evil that is hurting children. Pray for the children who are trapped in this horrible life. Pray for the rescuers who find them. Or donate. Or even better, do all of the above. Follow O.U.R. on instagram for updates Anything helps.

This is a charity I want to give to forever, and I want to do everything I can to help this organization succeed. Right now that only consists of praying and donating, and buying my kids the dog tag necklaces. As I've wanted to share things I've read or watched with my family and friends, I keep having to go back and google and search to try the links. To make it easier on myself, here is my Master list of all things OUR ~ these things are organized by the most recent events and interviews at the top, so start from the bottom up if you're new to Operation Underground Railroad and what they are about. Will update this with more videos as they become available (...and if I find them)

For all the people wanting to help... Go to their website. Like their facebook page. Click on "Ways to help" or the "Store". I know this winter all my family will be wearing Operation Underground Railroad beanies. Every $ helps. The unfortunate reality is saving these innocent children costs money. I read somewhere that it estimates about $1500 - $2000 a child. So the best thing everyone can do is spread the word and get money coming in. DONATE DONATE DONATE....that is how we will save these victims and put the monsters behind bars.
