Hey everyone in the VOAT community. I'm Kenneth Dawson, the founder of The Voices of Butterflies Project which advocates against child sex trafficking. I'm the father of two young daughters, which are my inspiration for advocacy, but it was GOD who planted the seed in my heart for this project.
I am joining together with Executive Producer Becki Percy, a satanic ritual abuse, and child sex trafficking survivor to produce a documentary that takes viewers beyond the statistics of child sex trafficking, to highlight the issues that influence them. The supply and demand, corrupt law enforcement, the failure of government and state agencies that are supposed to protect victims, and limited recovery assistance for survivors to name a few.
The desire for us to do this project is not enough. WE NEED YOUR HELP!
You can support this project by:
- Donating to our Gofundme campaign
- Following us and Sharing on Twitter Instagram Facebook
- Praying for the victims, the survivors, the families, this project, and that God would change the hearts of the abusers.
A final word from the founder
In conversation about child sex trafficking, I notice that many people don't want to hear the harsh realities of what these children suffer through. It's "too horrific". Well just imagine how it is for children who actually have to live it. Rape, torture, abuse, imprisonment et...
Some are ok with just feeling sorry, or sympathetic, but if only that was enough. We must be compelled to DO something.
Even if you don't have children of your own, you may have a niece or a nephew, or a child that you care about, that could easily become a victim. It's not a parent issue, it's a human race issue.
I want my daughters, your daughters, your sons, and every child to grow up in a society where child sex trafficking doesn't exist. A society where children can just be children, the way life was intended for them. Full of joy, fun, and freedom.
Until that day, please help me be their voice, their fight, and their hope.
This project is a labor of love, and I truly need YOUR support. The victims and survivors need YOUR support!
Thank you in advance!
Kenneth Dawson

imho, it's admirable that you want to draw attention to this issue and that you're doing it with Becki. But you have to say more than 'the money will go towards making a film'.
Are you putting any of your own money into the project? WIll you be seeking funding from any other sources? What is the projected total cost of the project?
How is that 'total cost' make up? Please give a breakdown of what money goes where. Do you plan on giving yourself a wage from the donations? What happens if you don't collect enough money to make the film? Do you refund everyone's donation? Do you have 501c3 non-profit org status or do you intend taking a profit? I ask these questions because of prior experience. I once gave $100 to a good cause, which hadn't been thought through properly. It then fell through and most people lost their money.
Becki, if you're reading this, please always have someone who is looking after your best interests when people approach you to use your face as a means of attracting donations. You do have a lot of pulling power, and I'd hate to see you being exploited (not that I'm saying this man is exploiting you). Please approach every invitation with a healthy amount of scepticism and cynicism. It's not a matter of being negative, just thinking about it with a clear head and very rationally. Ask a lot of questions; take your time and get second opinions from people who put you first.

@Piscina Thank you very much for message and for your concern. You mentioned a few things that a few others have mentioned as well, and I'm going to address them with an update to my campaign page.
Thanks again,
Ken
