The local need in Georgia
In Georgia, domestic violence is a pervasive issue, impacting hundreds of families every day. Many survivors face significant barriers when trying to access safe housing and legal support, often due to lack of transportation. With numerous shelters and safe houses spread across the state, survivors frequently require safe relocation to ensure their safety. The need for reliable transportation is evident, as it empowers survivors to take critical steps towards reclaiming their lives while navigating the complexities of leaving abusive situations.
