You Can Help Survivors Take Their First Step to Safety
Your donation directly funds free moving and storage services
for survivors of abuse, empowering them and their families
to transition safely and confidently into a new life.
Every dollar you give helps break the cycle of abuse, one safe move at a time.
Because of You, Survivors Can Move Forward
When a survivor is ready to flee abuse, your generosity helps ensure they have the practical support and dignity they deserve to take that first courageous step.
Here’s how your donation makes a direct impact:
- $35 – Provide volunteers and clients with a Resource Pack of moving supplies, including bags, packing tape, first aid, tools, boxes, and PPE.

- $150 – Donate a moving truck rental, including insurance and gas, to get a family to safety.
- $250 – Sponsor the entire move of a survivor and their family fleeing violence.
Your gift is more than a donation – it’s a lifeline. It’s a fresh start. It’s the power to move forward.
