Staying true to their word that they would be dedicating their Valentine's Day to charity, Ashton Kutcher and wife Demi Moore have pledged to send roses to 270 human trafficking victims this February 14.
Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore will send roses to 270 human trafficking victims this Valentine’s Day to raise awareness of their plight.
- “I struck up an agreement with the wife this year that we’re not going to try to do something big for each other and instead the best way we can celebrate the day is to share our love with other people,” said Kutcher. "There’s an organization in New York called GEMS that helps human trafficking victims. There are a bunch of these girls that have come off the streets and are now being housed by this organization, so we’re going to make all those girls our Valentines this year.
"I think there are 270 girls, so we’re going to send them all flowers so they can know they can be loved by someone without them having to ask for anything in return."
Just last week, the duo announced the launch of their new non-profit foundation to stop human trafficking, The Demi and Ashton Foundation (DNA), which they hope will serve the masses with more insight about this disgusting, illegal and often overlooked practice.
What an incredibly kind gesture! These are girls who have experienced something more horrendous than most of us can even imagine. This simple effort on their part will make their day, maybe even their year.
We're looking forward to seeing what else these two have up their sleeves to spread awareness about human trafficking.
That's truly praiseworthy.
