The local need in Wilkes-Barre
In Wilkes-Barre, thousands of individuals experience the impact of domestic violence, often feeling trapped in their situations. Many lack the means to escape and access safe housing, further complicating their journey to find help. The need for transportation to secure safe housing and necessary services is critical. Without reliable transportation, survivors may struggle to reach legal aid, medical services, or empowerment programs that are essential for their recovery and independence. Coal Valley Charity Cars aims to bridge this gap, ensuring that every survivor has the opportunity to escape abusive environments and start anew.
