The dōTERRA Healing Hands
Foundation™ is proud to be partnering
with Operation Underground Railroad,
(also known as OUR Rescue) to bring
healing and hope to the world. This
non-profit organization works to save
children from sex trafficking by utilizing
some of the world’s experts in extraction
operations and anti-trafficking efforts.
THE MISSION
AND VISION OF
OUR RESCUE
OUR Rescue strives to expose to the
world the global epidemic of child sex
trafficking. In doing so, they rescue
children from slavery and assist law
enforcement in the prosecution of
traffi cking offenders. Rescued children
are then placed in safe havens that
provide appropriate recovery aftercare.
Founded in December of 2013, OUR
Rescue is not a government agency, and
thus relies 100 percent on donations to
continue their work.
TO DATE
OUR RESCUES
Since their inception, OUR Rescue has
worked closely with experts in extraction
operations and anti-trafficking efforts.
These experts include former members
of the CIA, Navy SEALs, and special
operations forces who coordinate
identification and extraction efforts—also
sometimes called “jumps.” When these
highly skilled teams have pinpointed an
area that is known to have child sex
trafficking, they then work with local law
enforcement to make sure the children
are rescued.
additional check for $250,000 to
support their aftercare program, making
a total donation of $500,000 to The
dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation.
A large part of the OUR Rescue project
takes place post extraction and is called
aftercare. It is here that rescued
individuals adjust to their new lives.
Jessica Mass, Director of Aftercare, states,
“We believe that established, vetted
aftercare centers are the experts in their
country and we are servants—servants
that believe in empowering dreams,
vision, and hope for each survivor’s future.
United we stand in the fight against
human trafficking and the healing process
of victims that become thriving survivors.”
dōTERRA also announced a new
HOPE blend that was developed and
donated to OUR Rescue specifically
for distribution in high trafficking areas.
Its comforting scent is not the only thing
that sets this blend apart—included on
the label was an 800 hotline number
for those children needing help.
A 10 mL roll-on blend is now available
for Wellness Advocates to purchase
and features a newly designed label.
All proceeds from the dōTERRA Hope
Blend will go toward benefitting the
dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation.
THE do-TERRA
PARTNERSHIP
In July of this year, dōTERRA Founding
Executive and CEO David Stirling was
also able to participate in a jump
operation in California where a sting took
place. He was able to see firsthand what
OUR Rescue is doing and how they work
to further their cause. David says, “We
partner up with just a few institutions
that are doing good things in the world.
One of these is OUR. We feel like they fit
in with our mission and what we are
trying to do, which is bring positive
change to the world. We like to help
people; we do that in many different
ways with our essentials oils already, but
this is a way to reach in and hopefully
make a dent on this huge issue and
rescue a lot of these innocent children.”
At a dōTERRA® Day of Service event,
corporate employees assembled
humanitarian and school kits for children
who were rescued from sex trafficking.
Beyond the kits, dōTERRA executives
knew more could be done. This year, the
dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation,
donated $250,000 to the OUR Rescue
cause, and officially announced a
partnership between the two
organizations. During the 2016 global
convention, the dōTERRA Founding
Executives presented CEO and founder
of OUR Rescue, Tim Ballard, with an
