Through Their Eyes Production Update: March 20th 2026
If you have been following Room To Care over the past several weeks, you may have noticed the pace of our blog posts slow down. We have not lost momentum. We have shifted it. Through Their Eyes has officially moved from pre-production into production, and we wanted to tell you what that means.

If you have been following Room To Care over the past several weeks, you probably noticed the posts slowed down. We went from multiple updates a week to... quiet.
Fair enough. Here is what has been happening behind the scenes.
We Moved Into Production
Through Their Eyes, our flagship human trafficking awareness and prevention program, has officially moved from pre-production into production. The planning phase, the research, the framework building, all of that work is still ongoing, but we have crossed a line we have been working toward for a long time: we are now creating actual content.
Right now, we are building the Introduction to Through Their Eyes. This is the piece that opens the entire program. It sets the tone, establishes the mission, and prepares learners for what they are about to experience across every module that follows.

That is a screenshot of our actual editing timeline. We share it because we want you to see what this program looks like from the inside. Through Their Eyes is a mixed-media production: filmed interviews, motion graphics, interactive elements, and cinematic storytelling. The kind of content that makes people feel something and stay engaged, because we believe that is what it takes to actually change how someone sees an issue as serious as trafficking.
Survivor Interviews Are Being Scheduled
We have identified trafficking survivors who have agreed to share their stories on camera. Over the next two to three weeks, we will be scheduling and filming those interviews. Their voices are what anchor this program. Their experiences, told in their own words, are what make Through Their Eyes fundamentally different from training that treats trafficking as a statistic or a checkbox.
We are still actively looking for survivors in several areas where representation is essential:
Labor trafficking. The form of trafficking most people do not think about when they hear the word. It is happening on construction sites, in agriculture, in domestic work, in restaurants. We need those stories.
Familial trafficking. When exploitation happens within a family, the dynamics are different and the path to recognition is harder. These voices are critical to the program.
Digital and online exploitation. People who were trafficked or coerced through platforms like OnlyFans, Patreon, camming sites, or other online content creation tools. This is the fastest-growing form of exploitation, and it remains the least represented in existing training programs.
If you are a survivor in any of these areas, or if you know someone who might be open to a conversation, please reach out through roomtocare.com. Every conversation begins with listening. Nothing is filmed without full consent and survivor-led protocols.
Here Is Where We Need Help
We know we keep asking. And honestly, we feel the tension of it. Nobody wants to be the organization that keeps repeating the same appeal. But the reality is straightforward: we are a small team building something ambitious, and the work requires support to move forward.
Through Their Eyes is being built at a modular scale that, to our knowledge, has not been done to this extent before in anti-trafficking education. Every module is designed with empathy and understanding as cornerstones. We refuse to build the kind of program that exists only to satisfy a compliance requirement, the kind that leaves you feeling nothing, or worse, dreading the same lifeless course again next year. This program should move people. That is the whole point.
Here is what makes the biggest difference right now:

Connect us with DFW foundations. This might be the single most impactful thing someone reading this can do today. We are looking for introductions to Dallas/Fort Worth area foundations that fund education, social impact, or anti-trafficking work. In the meantime, we are looking for other doors. Foundations connected to Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines, or other corporate partners who invest in community education and safety. If you know someone at a foundation, a corporate giving office, or an organization that could be a meaningful partner in the fight for trafficking victims and survivors, that introduction could genuinely change our timeline.
Share this post. Visibility is a form of support. The more people who know this program exists, the more likely we are to find the partners, donors, and survivors who make it stronger.
What Organizations Get
For organizations that come on board as Room To Care sponsors, Through Their Eyes can be customized and rebranded to fit a specific business, industry, or organizational culture. Your team receives training that feels like it was built for them, because it will be.
We will also film with your executive team to produce an internal introduction about the importance of human trafficking awareness. That content lives within your organization and across our combined social media channels. It gives your leadership a visible role in this work while providing your team with training that actually connects.
If your organization is interested in becoming a sponsor or learning more about what a partnership looks like, reach out at roomtocare.com.
Follow Along
As production continues, we will be posting more here and across all of our channels. If you want to follow the progress in real time:

TikTok: @room.to.care
This program will take time. And that time is deserved. Rushing this work would mean cutting corners on the very things that make it worth building: the care, the quality, the empathy, and the survivor voices at the center of everything.
We are going to get this right. And we hope you are as excited as we are to watch it come together.

Meet the Director
Most nonprofit founders start with a mission statement. Devon "Scott" Burch started with a feeling he could not shake: that the people who needed the most help were often the ones no one was paying attention to. On his 39th birthday, our founder shares his story in his own words. This is the first post in a new series introducing the people behind Room To Care.

When the Predator Doesn't Even Need to Be Real
In the first six months of 2025, reports of AI-generated child sexual exploitation submitted to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children increased by 6,341 percent. From 6,835 reports to 440,419. The technology that was supposed to make our lives easier is being weaponized against children at a speed that outpaces every protection we have built.

When the Safety Net Disappears
Congress set aside $88 million to help trafficking survivors. The Department of Justice chose not to spend it. Over 100 organizations lost funding. More than 5,000 survivors were left without services. And this is happening while the same government passes new laws requiring anti-trafficking training. This is not a policy disagreement. This is a contradiction that is costing people their safety.
