We need your help to bridge a critical transportation gap for women on the path to restoring their lives.

For many, VanGo can take 1-2 hours for a one-way trip across Waldorf or to La Plata. The alternative? Paying $22-$35 per ride with Uber or Lyft-an unsustainable expense.

Having reliable transportation is vital to obtain and maintain employment. And employment is vital to reaching sustainable independence.

Here are two ways YOU can help women survivors on the journey to healing, hope, and transformation:

1. Be willing to drive 1-2 times per week for 3 to 15 miles one way to ensure safe and timely transportation to and from work.

2. Donate a working vehicle to empower sustainable independence.

Thank you for making change possible!

Tiffany Barber, Executive Director Poiema Movement
