Title :Please help get our daughter home.

Story. Hi our names are Simon and Havana.

On the 28th of February this year we lost contact with our daughter, her phone went dark no communication and we were both blocked. We tried to communicate with my wife’s sister who she was staying with but only had sporadic contact then we were blocked. In last conversation we were told that Elisha would be got rid of and that her passport would be destroyed and we would never see her again, the last siting of our daughter was a photo taken within a market,for days we tried to communicate as the Philippines are known for child trafficking. We were in so much turmoil not sleeping or eating, we had to do something,so we went to the police, at first I was almost turned away the response was this is a matter for the embassy, I pleaded she is just 9, and then a officer stepped forward, I will take the details, it was then 2 days later that interpol got involved and from there both embassys, this had now become a rescue operation for our daughter then out of the blue we had a message from a concerned citizen within Pasay City Market.

It read that Elisha was being beaten and belittled and being forced to work from 2am till 7pm each day, she was alone and being approached by men Elisha is 9years old.

She was also being starved as a punishment and being made to walk barefoot alone through the streets of Manila exposing her to further abuse.

The Manila police and interpol and DSWD flooded the area and at 2.39am our time March 30th Elisha was found, mal nourished and in a apartment that was not clean with the building full of drug users and a single point communal toilet, she had suffered abuse by no other than my wife’s own sister .

The Police and interpol treated this as a form of kidnap our daughter had been openly abused by my wife’s own sister and she was days from being sold for the sum of just £700

Elisha is now protected by the DSWD and my wife’s cousin.

We have found out further things.

Elisha was force fed ripped up money if she did not sell correctly

Made to starve for up to 3days at a time.

With many other things just coming to light.

We need help to bring her home the foreign office have agreed to help, but we need help for flights, our local MP has also offered his support, and counselling for when she arrives in the uk.

We are thankful to everyone but just need the final push to bring her home.

Our daughter now has pneumonia and is need of treatment, because of the conditions she was kept in please help us bring her home .

The pictures you see are our daughter finally with the police and DSWD and photos taken by a concerned citizen prior to being rescued.
