Support Domestic Violence Survivors in Colorado

Join us in empowering survivors of domestic violence through safe transportation and resources.

Every day in Colorado, countless individuals face the harrowing reality of domestic violence. Safe transportation is an essential lifeline that allows survivors to access critical resources, relocate to safe environments, and regain their independence. At Ride to Relief, we harness vehicle donations to fund these vital services, ensuring no survivor is left without the means to escape danger.

This donation page outlines how your contributions directly support safe-house logistics, emergency relocations, financial empowerment classes, and legal aid transportation. Together, we can create a safer Colorado for everyone.

The local need in Colorado

In Colorado, thousands of individuals face domestic violence every year. The need for immediate safe transportation is crucial, as it can mean the difference between safety and continued harm. Many survivors lack the necessary resources to flee abusive situations, often trapped by financial constraints and a lack of access to reliable transport. Your support helps bridge this gap, enabling survivors to reach safe houses and essential services.
