May's Beneficiary
Eripio will be dispersing our proceeds in May to CarePortal. CarePortal is an online network that allows you to "take meaningful action on the platform that's connecting the largest network of caring people to meet the needs of kids and families in crisis." More than 60% of girls that age out of the foster care system end up being trafficked. CarePortal is devoted to helping prevent that from happening.
With each purchase you make from Eripio, proceeds will go to organizations fighting against human trafficking.
Find out more about CarePortal at facebook.com/TheCarePortal and careportal.org.

February's Beneficiary
For the month of February, we have selected Rended Heart as our beneficiary. In their words, Rended Heart exists to "set individuals free from sexual exploitation and prostitution; to see the broken-hearted healed, and their lives restored. Rended Heart seeks to provide immediate short-term accommodations, resources, and services, for the purpose of preparing the sexually exploited individual for entry into a long-term restoration or reintegration program."

November's Beneficiary
Each month, we will be sending a donation to an organization who is in the fight against trafficking. Whether they play an active role in the rescue of victims, or provide support for those still healing, we want to help them. That's why we are so excited to share that the first recipient of our monthly donation is Value Unconditional!
We got to hear a lot about what they are doing when we attended their annual Friendsgiving event, and we encourage you to take a look for yourself on their website at www.valueunconditional.org.
