Freedom Stones
As Cindy shares in her lead article, Freedom Stones is more than just another jewelry store. The issue of human trafficking is huge and is present in every major city in the world. Freedom Stones is what happens when faith, compassion, and entrepreneurial spirit come together for the good of others. Founder Leah Knippel reflects:
“Freedom Stones is facilitating a model which will make a long term impact on the issue of human trafficking and enable communities at risk to grow economically, spiritually, vocationally, and educationally. When you watch this transformation take place it is nothing less than a miracle. To watch a woman who as a child was sexually abused and later sold to the highest bidder grow from a crushed flower into a person whose eyes shine again, whose bright colors return and whose smile can light up a room, then you have seen God’s transformation at work. It is not an easy process, but Freedom Stones is building a model of care, which starts with a change in economics, continues with empowerment and training, and ends with one life reintegrating effectively into their community as a whole person again. This is why we sell jewelry—for her.”
