Description
Leaving your abuser is not only a freighting and dangerous time, but it's also a time that you'll need to prepare for. However, sometimes in order to save your life you have to leave immediately leaving little to no time to prepare to leave to ensure yourself and your family's safety. With our Flightbag program we provide domestic violence victims in Middle Tennessee with up to $200 per family in emergency financial assistance for hotel stays, gas, food, rental/utility assistance and other items needed to aid in a safer escape. Paid for counseling/therapy services for emergency crisis, domestic violence, and mental health are provided on a case by case basis. We collaborate with and provide other organizations such as Core Civic , the Legal Aid Society, Tennessee Federal Bureau of Investigations and local police departments with items to keep on hand to serve victims participating in their programs.
