Help to bring our daughter home after being used for slavery
Donation protected
Hi we're Simon & Havana. We are reaching out for support to bring our daughter home from Manila.
On the 28th February 2025 we lost contact with our daughter Elisha. After not being able to communicate with her or her auntie we then started to worry.
On the 4th of march we went to the police after we had received information from a concerned citizen that our daughter was being used for modern day slavery being worked from 2am till 7pm by herself in a public market being approached by men and openly being abused and belittled and being starved. Upon hearing this and seeing a picture that it was her, we decided to go straight to the police to give a statement Chief inspector Hannan escalated the case to Interpol as we couldn't properly locate her.
with the help of our local MP, Two Interpol officers flew out to assist in the search.
5 weeks later with the help of manila police Elisha was located in Pasay City.
The police, Interpol & DSWD rescued Elisha and discovered that she had been living in very poor conditions' regularly beaten & malnourished being made to starve for punishment. The most surprising thing it it was her auntie that was doing this to her!
She was then moved to safety under the protection of the DSWD. We have since discovered Elisha is in very poor heath and has pneumonia and child related trauma from what has happened to her, Elisha is just 9yrs old.
The foreign office are assisting as much as they can but we need to get out there quickly to bring her home safe and would appreciate any help and assistance for travel costs.
Thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts.
