Mission
Our mission is to transport victims of abuse to safety. We provide transportation to shelter or reunite with family far away.Our vision is to create healthy communities by ending abuse across America.
Program accomplishments
- Ride to safety: Families to Freedom provides free car/van rides to arrive at secure victim-services crisis centers, to long-term programs, 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 2025 we transported 1,227 victims and their 1,122 children for a total of 2,349 people. Our volunteers and staff embarked on 1,204 trips arriving to domestic violence shelters, plus 272 journeys to family homes far away from the perpetrator. 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).Expenses $515,678
- Ticket to Ride: We provided sheltered survivors the means to relocate to family and friends by bus, Amtrak, or commercial flight 117 times in 2025. 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.Expenses $193,453
- 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 abuse or to shelter in another county. We gave 83 fuel cards to new survivors in 2025 who were able to drive themselves to safety. For many of our clients, we also gave them donated food gift cards to help afford meals during their long journey.Expenses $54,675
