Mother and Daughter Seek Our Help
LFNKR has received a request from a North Korean woman, HU (age 28) and her daughter KH (age 7).
The woman was sold to a Chinese man who, it turned out, was a gambling addict. Every time he lost heavily or ran out of money, he would bring men home and force her to pay off his gambling debts with sex.
Here is what she says:
“My Chinese husband abused me from the very beginning, always reminding me that I am a Korean woman, so I have no nationality in China. I was constantly watched even after I gave birth to my daughter. For her sake, I swallowed my bitter tears and bore the years of hell, but I cannot take this any longer. I desperately want to escape and go to South Korea with my daughter. Please help us.”
Helping them out of their current situation will require a minimum of USD $5,000.
Please help us rescue this mother and her daughter.
This year’s rescue operations
At the annual meeting of LFNKR held on October 14, details of this organization’s rescue operations were reported as follows.
During the past year, LFNKR received requests for rescue from a total of 27 North Korean refugees, 12 being mothers accompanied by children, and 15 being unaccompanied women. LFNKR-led operations resulted in the rescue of 8 adults (5 mothers with their children and 3 unaccompanied women). The rescue operations cost more than USD $20,000. LFNKR is extremely grateful for the donations we received to help these refugees.
