Quick Facts

For us to mobilize a family from danger to safety requires funds for ground transportation, emergency hotel stays, meals and basic needs for 2 to 3 days until we can get them on an airplane back to the USA or into a shelter in the country they are in.
The window of opportunity for a battered mother to escape the house with her children can be very narrow, often time, a matter of a couple of hours. They can only take what they can carry, taking few possessions with them, typically a few of the children's favorite stuffed animals and some clothing. They rarely have access to money of their own.
Our advocates must coordinate logistics while being half way around the world, arranging taxis, hotels and emergency cash for the victim for basic needs and meals.
The money for this gift package will ensure that each family has somewhere safe to go when the moment of opportunity to escape presents itself.
