Our Mission

At The Rae Ripple Foundation, our mission is to help people break free from dangerous and limiting environments and build a stable, independent future.

We exist for survivors of domestic violence, youth aging out of foster care, and individuals coming from circumstances where survival has been the only option. For many, leaving a harmful situation is only the first step. Without support, resources, and opportunity, people are often forced back into the same cycles they worked so hard to escape.

Our work will focuses on what comes next.

We aim to provide pathways to safety through confidential relocation support. We aim to help individuals stabilize and heal by connecting them with trauma-informed counseling and rehabilitation services through trusted, licensed partners. And we will help create real opportunities for long-term independence by supporting access to trade education, tools, and job placement.

We believe that true rehabilitation requires more than short-term aid. It requires changing a person’s environment, restoring dignity, and providing the skills needed to build a life that can stand on its own. That is why our approach will be hands on, survivor centered, and rooted in practical outcomes. Transportation to get to work, education that leads to careers, and support systems that last beyond a single moment of crisis.

At its core, our mission is about foundation-building.

We are committed to helping people move from crisis to stability, from survival to self-reliance, and from being shaped by their circumstances to shaping their own future.

By investing in safety, healing, and skilled trades, we aim to break generational cycles and help individuals and families create new beginnings grounded in strength, dignity, and independence.
