The local need in Kentucky
The need for support in Kentucky is profound. Each year, thousands of individuals experience domestic violence, often facing life-altering circumstances. Many escape situations that endanger their lives, but they lack the means to find safe refuge. The state’s rural landscape can make accessing safe houses and resources particularly challenging, underscoring the critical requirement for safe transportation and relocation options. Families and individuals are seeking urgent help, demonstrating a pressing need for support across our communities.
