EspañolFamilies to Freedom (FtoF) provides long-distance transportation services to victims of family and domestic violence. FtoF helps victims of domestic violence abuse get to safety whether it is to reunite family in the U.S. or to get to available shelter in another city. FtoF’s three modes of travel are: 1. private car or van ride to another county or state for victims with children, 2. fuel cards for victims leaving in their own vehicle to another state, or 3. bus or train pass from shelter to a destination. Families to Freedom serves those leaving from the North Texas and Dallas-Ft. Worth area. 1Pet friendly, LGBTQ friendly
