Our vision is to create healthy communities by ending abuse across America. false false 471759 Ride to safety: Families to Freedom provides free car/van rides to arrive at secure domestic violence crisis centers, and rides to relocate to family or to housing far away. We have two Texas offices located in Dallas and Houston serving victims calling from a combined service area of 87 urban and rural counties. In 2024 we transported 1,153 victims and their 1,150 children for a total of 2,303 people. Our volunteers and staff embarked on 1,143 trips arriving to domestic violence shelters, plus 66 road-trips to a family home far away from the victim. Shelter arrivals usually only incur fuel costs while multi-state road trips incur a variety of travel costs (fuel + food + overnight lodging + vehicle maintenance + tolls). 113303 Ticket to Ride: We provided sheltered survivors the means to relocate to family and friends by bus, Amtrak, or commercial flight 102 times in 2024. In addition to purchasing a ticket for long-distance travel, we also provide a free ride to the bus depot or airport (bus tickets + commercial flight tickets + train tickets). For many of our clients we upgraded their luggage from trash bags to suitcases and travel bags donated from the community. 37384 Fuel assistance: Fuel is available for victims and new survivors who have a vehicle but cant afford the cost of gas to drive far away to family members or friends for support after domestic violence or to shelter in another county. We gave 74 fuel cards to new survivors in 2024 who were able to get far away from their abusers. For many of our clients, we also gave them donated food gift cards to help afford meals during their long journey. 622446 true false false false false false false false false false true false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 14 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 8 8 true false false false false false false true true false true true true true true true true true true true false TX X MATTHEW MARTINSON 2143778137 13154 COIT RD SUITE 213 Dallas TX 75240 SARAH NEJDL CEO 51.00 0.00 X 5955 0 0 SUSAN GIBSON DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANASTASSIYA SAYENKO DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DEANNA PARMENTER DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN KLAFKA DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AMANDA BENZMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 OWEIDA CARTER CHAIRMAN 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MATTHEW MARTINSON TREASURER 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 RUSTY NEJDL SECRTARY 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 5955 0 0 0 false false false 484951 350056 835007 4199 4199 1000 1200 -200 -200 -200 0 839006 3999 0 0 5955 5955 391513 372424 19089 18107 18107 34285 31992 2293 11080 11080 27101 21733 2413 2955 17740 9206 8534 564 564 31506 26645 4861 95751 95066 685 30481 30481 28760 21949 6811 AUTO MAINTENANCE 15226 15226 BUS & TRAIN TICKETS 17304 17304 FUEL ASSISTANCE 10901 10901 PRINTING & PUBLICATIONS 932 932 737206 622446 110873 3887 116822 224558 44099 20000 107874 147338 47230 13403 172405 64101 139984 108304 4187 51171 416097 608873 22357 20608 -856 11192 53573 32693 74181 X 383404 534692 383404 534692 416097 608873 X 101800 49488 X false true X true false X 202517 243362 640914 747710 835006 2669509 6972 1772 8744 209489 245134 640914 747710 835006 2678253 0 0 0 0 0 0 2678253 183 362 710 3524 4199 8978 183 362 710 3524 4199 8978 209672 245496 641624 751234 839205 2687231 0.99670 0.99090 0.00000 0.00000 X 172405 64101 108304 108304 SECURITY DEPOSIT 4185 RIGHT OF USE 46986 51171 PAYROLL TAXES 6587 LEASE LIABILITY 46986 53573 Officer directors etc family relationship Part VI line 2 OFFICER AND SECRETARY ARE WIFE AND HUSBAND Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 PREVIOUS DISCUSSION IS HELD BETWEEN THE TREASURER AND TAX PREPARER.
