“What has changed in my life is that I can show love to other people.”
–Ly, age 16, Hagar Cambodia Aftercare Program
Dear Friend,
If you have ever wondered if your charitable gifts really make a difference, I hope we can convince you to stop wondering. As 2009 draws to a close and you consider your year-end giving, please consider the story of Ly:
Sixteen-year-old Ly has big hopes for the future. Her dreams include going to college and becoming a counselor for abused children. Once a little girl sold into a brothel by her own family, Ly has traveled a long journey. Upon rescue, the chains of slavery fell away. However, there was no quick fix for her emotional, physical, and spiritual recovery. It is taking ongoing, loving, and high-quality care.
The story of Ly is remarkable But, Ly’s story is only one of thousands that Hagar has touched over the past 15 years. Hers is one of hundreds we touch every day. With high-quality, holistic services, we see great transformation. Like Ly, nearly all of our “Hagars” and “Ishmaels” recapture hopes and dreams.
I hope you will consider becoming part of these stories. The number of women and children Hagar serves depends on financial resources available. You can read more stories here, to see how charitable giving changes lives.
Please visit Hagar USA’s new website, to learn more about how we help broken lives heal and new lives unfold. Ours is a story of hope, healing, and restoration. Please become part of our story, with a year-end gift.

Executive Director, Hagar USA
