A home in American Fork is being flipped for an incredible reason - to help raise money for the fight against human trafficking.

The concept is simple: buy a house, fix it up, sell it, and donate all the proceeds to the Young Living Foundation to bring freedom to victims of human trafficking through Hope for Justice.

Young Living and the Young Living Foundation are partnering with Hope for Justice for this brand new project which is especially timely as we observe National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month.

Around the world, millions of children are trafficked every year, living and working in conditions that strip them of their freedom and humanity.

Hope for Justice is a nonprofit that exists to bring an end to this modern slavery by preventing exploitation, rescuing victims, restoring lives and reforming society.

Young Living is led by a vision of empowerment. The goal of the Young Living Foundation is to protect and empower the world's young and to help the rising generation be free to thrive and create positive change.

Ending exploitation is one of the main pillars that the Young Living Foundation is focused on and they are proud to have worked with Hope for Justice over the years to help fulfill that mission.

To date the Foundation has donated nearly $4 million to end human trafficking.

You can help as well by donating at younglivingfoundation.org/flippingforfreedom. All the funds will go directly to Hope for Justice.

If you live nearby and have any kind of construction experience, you can volunteer for a day, two days or more.

If you work for or know of a company that would be able to donate supplies, please email development@younglivingfoundation.org.

The current list of needs include:

  • Landscape design services
  • Home goods
  • Standard construction tools
  • Home audio and smart home devices
  • Food for volunteers
