NEXTSTEP empowers women, men, and child survivors of domestic violence by removing barriers to safety, stability, and self-sufficiency through resource navigation and material assistance.

We envision a world where survivors of domestic violence are not left alone to rebuild their lives, and where immediate, practical support creates long-term stability for families.

We provide immediate financial flexibility allows survivors to securely purchase everyday essentials like groceries, gas, and prescriptions. This vital aid helps families maintain their independence and meet their most urgent needs without financial strain during a critical time of transition

Reliable transportation is a lifeline that bridges the gap between crisis and stability by ensuring survivors can safely reach job interviews, court dates, and medical appointments. By removing the barrier of transit costs, we empower individuals to move forward freely and securely rebuild their lives.

Distributing essential kits filled with hygiene items, diapers, and daily necessities offers immediate relief and dignity to families who often have to leave everything behind. These tangible resources lift an immediate financial burden, ensuring their most fundamental daily needs are met.

Access to prepaid phones and connectivity plans provides survivors with a secure, unmonitored lifeline to stay connected to employers, legal counsel, and emergency services. This critical digital lifeline breaks the isolation often imposed by abusers, ensuring continuous safety and privacy.

Supporting children with school supplies, clothing, and enrichment materials ensures that the youngest survivors experience normalcy, comfort, and stability as they heal. This indirect aid also relieves immense pressure on parents, allowing them to focus on rebuilding the family's future while knowing their children are cared for.
