Asking for help isn't easy.

For many young women experiencing homelessness and instability, picking up the phone is one of the hardest things they'll ever do.

When a young woman in North Texas reaches out with a housing crisis, we’re here, with a crisis line, real resources, and a plan for what comes next. For some, that means a safe place to stay. For others, it’s connection to support that helps them find their own way forward.

Right now, somewhere in North Texas, a young woman is picking up the phone to ask for help. Your gift today makes sure someone is there to answer.

Here's how your gift makes an impact:
$25 | Help Answer the First Call
Ensure a young woman in crisis reaches a compassionate person when she calls our crisis line.

$50 | Provide a Compassionate First Response
Support the staff time needed to listen, assess needs, and connect a young woman with the right resources.

$100 | Keep the Door Open
Help keep our crisis line staffed so every young woman who reaches out has someone ready to answer.

$250 | Strengthen Our Response
Support a week of crisis line operations, training, and essential resources.

$1,000 | Help Change Lives All Month Long
Help fund a month of crisis response, ensuring every caller receives the care, guidance, and support she deserves.

Thanks to a generous $25,000 match grant, every dollar you give will be DOUBLED up to $25,000! Your $50 gift becomes $100. Your $100 gift becomes $200. Your life-changing support is amplified, going twice as far for youth we serve.

Thank you for supporting us in this important work. Your gift today helps us answer every call!
