For the second straight year, HaHaMen is going to dedicate their #GoodfortheSoul February edition to INK180.
INK 180 transforms the painful reminders of the destructive situations into beautiful art by covering the tattoos left from a former life in a gang or enslaved by human trafficking. Chris Baker founded the non-profit arm of INK 180 in October of 2011, to offer the opportunity for a real second chance to the least of these, the invisible, the forgotten, the discarded. Chris provides his time, supplies and artwork, entirely free of charge to former gang members trying to get their lives back on track as well as the victims of Human Trafficking. INK 180 is entirely funded by donations, no charge is ever asked of the people receiving Chris’ ministry.
Last February, Good for the Soul raised $340 for INK 180's work. The reason HaHaMen chooses February for INK 180 is the NFL's Super Bowl is held this month.
How does that relate?
Statistics and research shows that the Super Bowl is one of the world's largest events for sex trafficking. The incredible amount of wealth and power that descends upon a city hosting the Super Bowl also brings with it some of the worst temptations. Part of those temptations involves victims of sex trafficking.
In late 2018, and on in to early 2019, Chris and INK 180 have been through some trying times. On Chris's personal and the INK 180 Facebook, friends and followers have been able to see Chris's struggle with some health issues, which has drastically limited his ability to run and support this ministry.
With his amazing work in mind, and with the recent struggles, HaHaMen is hoping to give a wonderful boost to Chris and INK 180.
