The Tim Tebow Foundation's Fight Against Human Trafficking

Did you know that women and girls rescued from trafficking are still not safe? Even after many victims have been rescued, their traffickers will continue to hunt them, using a wide range of tactics from mental manipulation to direct threats to control them. These courageous and brave girls are in active court cases against their traffickers and are in need of protection.

Some are facing active threats, death threats, and even prices on their heads.
Why? I can't say for sure, but I assume it's because traffickers don't want to face justice, they don't want to stop trafficking. They are capable of atrocious acts of evil to silence those speaking against them. In fact, right now, there are 15 girls waiting on this home to be built. We have to act fast to Protect Them!

The TTF Protection Center in Thailand will provide elevated security for at-risk survivors while their traffickers face prosecution. With your support, TTF will be building the TFF Protection Center. This ! ...

Whether you're trading up to a larger home or looking to buy for the very first time, in order to accurately calculate what you can afford, you need to factor in the extra costs - on top of the purchase price - that come along with the purchase of a home. No one wants to be surprised with an unwanted financial nightmare on closing day because they were not properly informed of extra fees, such as taxes and other additional costs.

Some of these costs represent an ongoing monthly or yearly commitment. Others are one-time fixed payments. Not all extra costs will apply in every situation, but knowledge is power. It's better to be aware of all possible extra charges ahead of time so you can budget properly.
