OnRamp DFW

In a metroplex as large as DFW, reliable transportation can change everything. 🚗

Did you know:
• The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex spans more than **9,000 square miles**, making it one of the most car-dependent regions in the country
• Studies show only about **27% of jobs** in major metro areas are reachable within 90 minutes by public transportation
• Access to a reliable vehicle can increase employment opportunities for low-income individuals by as much as **80%**
• AAA estimates the average cost of owning a vehicle now exceeds **$12,000 per year** — a major barrier for families already facing financial hardship

At OnRamp DFW, we see these realities every day. Our clients are hardworking, resilient people doing everything they can to move forward. Sometimes, one dependable vehicle is the missing piece that helps a family keep a job, access healthcare, care for their children, and regain stability.

A car may seem ordinary — but for many families in DFW, it can completely change the trajectory of their future. ❤️

Thank you to every donor, volunteer, advocate, and supporter helping us drive hope forward across DFW.

What if doing the right thing meant losing your housing, your job, and having to completely start over? Would you still have the courage to act?

A few weeks ago, we had the honor of giving a beautifully maintained Hyundai Sonata to our 68th client. While they’ve asked us not to share their identity or personal details, we can share this: they made an incredibly brave decision to protect members of their family, even though it came at a tremendous personal cost.
Since then, they’ve walked through painful seasons of loss and rebuilding, but they’ve come out on the other side with hope, strength, and their integrity fully intact.

Their advocate, Lucy from In My Shoes, shared that this client has not only excelled in the program, but has also become a source of encouragement and inspiration to others around them.
One of the most special moments from giveaway day was that the family who donated the vehicle was able to meet the client receiving it. Before donating the car, the entire family: mom, dad, and kids prayed over it together, asking God to use it to bless someone in need. One of the children specifically prayed that it would “go to a mommy” who needed a car.
And it did. 💙
