Driving Successful Lives Rescues Domestic Violence Survivor from Freezing Temperatures

In a life-saving act of compassion, Driving Successful Lives, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, responded late at night to an emergency call involving a victim of domestic violence. The woman, found living in a garage amid dangerous sub-zero temperatures (-11°F), was on the verge of hypothermia when rescued.

“Our staff encountered a dire situation,” said Ralph Maupin, Director of Driving Successful Lives. “Her lips were purple, and her skin had turned grey from the extreme cold. Nobody would have survived in those conditions.”

Upon arrival, the non-profit’s team quickly transported the woman to a hotel, where she was sheltered for over a week. During her stay, Driving Successful Lives provided translation services, food, and essential comforts, helping her regain stability and warmth.

“While in our care, she was able to reorganize her life,” said a spokesperson for the organization. “We are grateful we were able to step in when it mattered most.”

Once stabilized, the woman was connected to a local community agency for continued assistance and support.

This life-saving intervention underscores Driving Successful Lives’ unwavering commitment to supporting individuals in crisis. The organization’s mission goes beyond vehicle and property donations — it extends to delivering hope and critical aid to those facing hardship.

About Driving Successful Lives

Driving Successful Lives’ mission is to help raise funds and improve the lives of veterans, homeless families, children, those with addictions while helping donors generate a tax deduction, often with property or vehicles they might no longer want.

Every time a person gives to the charity of their choice it may also create a tax benefit for them. Car donations, real estate donations or money donated to non-profit institutions throughout the tax year may be tax deductible which means that they could make a positive difference for people while reducing the amount of income taxes they pay. Contributing to charities can be a very convenient way to reduce taxes and help others.
