After years of enduring domestic violence, a courageous mother of two young children has taken the difficult step to leave and begin a safer future. She has used every dollar she had to apply for housing and secure temporary shelter for herself, her 8-year-old and 3-year-old while they wait for permanent housing. She is now facing an immediate obstacle—her car payment. Reliable transportation is essential for getting her children where they need to be, attending appointments, and continuing to work toward stability. Your support, no matter the amount, will help this family stay on the path to safety and independence. Thank you for helping a survivor rebuild her life with hope and dignity.
