Before counseling, employment, classes, or reunifying with family, a woman coming home from prison needs one thing

a way to get where she needs to go. Most women come home with no car, no bus pass, and no support system. Your gift ensures she can reach probation meetings, treatment, classes, job opportunities, and reunification visits with her children. Safe and reliable transportation to medical, mental health, and recovery appointments is essential. It’s mission-driven.rt appointments, to her child, you’re funding more than a ride. You’re fueling a mission-driven pathway to stability, dignity, and independence. Safe and reliable transportation to medical, mental health, and recovery appointments is more than necessary. It’s mission-driven. Will you help provide reliable transportation for women rebuilding their lives after prison? Transportation is one of the most significant barriers in reentry: --90% of women are unemployed and without transportation upon release. --In the first 90 days of reentry, women reintegrating are forced to juggle multiple in-person appointments each week, including medical and mental health care, treatment programs, court appointments, probation, benefit applications, and new employment paperwork- too often without access to transportation. --Missing even a few mandatory appointments can mean losing housing, losing a job offer, or violating release terms. This year, our team provided over 1,700 rides, ensuring women could safely access what they needed to stabilize. In addition, support from our community partnerships enables four to six women to purchase their own vehicles within the first year. One participant, Marissa*, put it plainly, “If your team hadn’t picked me up that first week, I would have gone right back. I had no way to get anywhere.” When women have reliable transportation, employers get dependable workers, children stay connected to their mothers, courts see higher compliance, and public safety improves. Here at Arise Collective, we provide safe transportation for the first 90 days for women like Marissa, but the impact is long-lasting. Give today: https://arise-collective.org/woven-together
