A community can heal itself. We’re proving it — together.
Hope Lives On Recovery Road is building a rural reclamation demonstration of community healing — proof on real ground, through gardening, art, events, workshops, and education.
And because distance keeps too many neighbors away, our Safe Rides pilot exists so nobody is kept from healing, care, work, or court by the lack of a ride.
“We build a community where trafficking, addiction, and suicide cannot survive.” Grounded in the sovereignty of the individual, we support survivors and families in crisis with trauma-informed care, essential resources, and community programs that help people rebuild their lives — with safety, stability, dignity, and real opportunities to move forward.
How the math works: 90% of the $15,000 per quarter launch fund goes to rides — that’s $13,500 per quarter at the $25.00 average cost per one-way trip*, or 540 one-way trips per quarter. The other 10% covers overhead, and that’s being generous to our overhead. Nobody at Hope Lives On takes a salary — this work is volunteer-run. Overhead is real, like it is for any honest operation, and we won’t pretend otherwise; the fund exists to put rides on the road.
* $25 is a one-way trip. $50 is a round trip — two one-way rides.
Our campaign thesis, in plain words: prove that a community can create its own public transportation system — together. Donation canisters sit in local gas stations, churches and businesses adopt ride goals, and counties compete — each county funds its own $15,000 per quarter pilot, and the first county to fund it gets the next launch. Phelps County launches first.

The demonstration is the mission. The rides are how people get there.
Our mission is to build a culture of healing in places scarred by the past. We support survivors and families in crisis with trauma-informed care and the basics people need. We do it through free and affordable rides, direct support, caring neighbors, and real chances to move forward.
Provide Access
Safe, steady rides so people can reach care without fear — to the doctor, to work, to court, to the pharmacy, and back home. Access also means food grown close to home, a seat saved for you at a workshop, and a door that is truly open when you get there.
Promote Awareness
We teach and connect our community. We name what distance, addiction, trafficking, and silence do to rural families. And we show — in public, on real ground — what a community can do about it together.
Advocate for Sovereignty
We work to restore freedom, dignity, and independence. People are not cases to be managed. Every program here helps people move forward on their own terms, with support that respects their choices.
Five ways a community heals — on real ground
On reclaimed land, people come together to grow food, make art, hold events, run workshops, and learn. Each part below is a working piece of the demonstration. And each one is a place where a volunteer, a donor, or a neighbor can step in today.
Gardening
Gardening is where reclamation starts — hands in real soil, food grown by the people who will eat it. Gardeners tend the beds, share know-how passed down through Ozark families, and turn neglected ground into food for the neighborhood. It is steady, hopeful work you can watch grow week by week. It also anchors grant-supported outdoor programming, including the Community Foundation of the Ozarks Everyone Outdoors effort. No experience needed — gardeners, handy hands, and strong backs are all welcome.
Art — Hope Lives on Art & the Lantern Project
Art gives people a way to say what words cannot. Through Hope Lives on Art and the Lantern Project, survivors and neighbors make resin art, crafts, and lanterns. They carry a simple message into the community: stay — your story is not over. Our Instagram shares this work next to nature and river photos, mindfulness, and suicide-prevention messages — because healing should be visible, not hidden.
Events
Healing happens in company. Community events bring survivors, families, supporters, artists, and believers to the same ground — celebrations, remembrance, fundraisers like the Safe Rides county challenge, and plain good days together. Events are also how the demonstration proves itself in public. People can come, see the work with their own eyes, and choose to be part of it.
Workshops
Workshops turn gathering into skill. Storytellers, musicians, builders, and teachers from our own community lead hands-on sessions. They are practical and creative, and they support recovery. People leave with something they did not have when they arrived: a craft, a plan, a connection, a next step. Workshop and storytelling programming is the heart of our planned Missouri Humanities work.
Education
Education ties the demonstration together. It teaches the community how trauma, addiction, and trafficking really work. It shows how rural distance makes every hardship worse. And it shows how neighbors, caseworkers, churches, and businesses each hold one piece of the answer. A community that understands is a safer community — education is how awareness becomes prevention.
Safe Rides — the access layer
None of it matters if people cannot get there. Safe Rides is not a side program. It is the road into every part above — and into care, work, and court across the county. That is why the pilot below comes first. And every ride is framed the same way: safe rides for everybody, no label attached.
Art made by survivors, given to fund the work
Everything here was handmade by someone who survived something no one should have to survive. The four pieces below are a sampler — a first look at the range of handmade work shared here: braided cord, mixed-media collage, twine lettering, and resin. This art is shared in support of donations to Hope Lives On Recovery Road — gifts that keep the healing work going.
Braided cord work
Hand-braided cords in brown, tan, and black — one worked in a green chevron pattern — with knotted ends, laid out on a wooden board.
Mixed-media collage
Layered paint, lace, and printed imagery — robed figures, an apple, and a crowned face — in deep blues, pinks, and earth tones.
Twine lettering on wood
Twine shaped into looping lettering, pinned with staples to a dark wooden board.
Resin tray
A resin tray with dark, galaxy-style swirls, holding a sticker that reads “STAY; YOUR STORY IS NOT OVER.”
Safe rides for everybody
In rural Missouri, getting help is not just about being brave enough to ask. Sometimes it is just about having a ride. Treatment is in the next town over. Court is thirty minutes away. The job that keeps a family standing is on the other side of the county. There is no bus line — and no car means no way there. A missed ride becomes a missed appointment, a missed shift, a missed court date. Distance decides too much out here. And the rides are free — fully free. The fund pays the whole fare; nobody is ever asked to cover part of it.
Get a voucher
The ride is completely free — the fund covers the whole fare, never part of it. Rides are set up through a referral — court-mandated, or checked by a caseworker, clinic, or church — so they reach people who genuinely need to get to care, through our Uber for Business account. Or call or text us at 573-578-3193 and we will get you rolling.
No smartphone? No problem
Your caseworker can book the ride for you through Uber Health — riders need no smartphone, card, or app. You simply get a text or a voice call when your ride is on its way.
Ride — we pay only then
Ride money is spent only when a rider actually redeems a voucher. Unused vouchers cost nothing, and unspent money stays in the fund for the next ride.
The “oh-shit” fund — caught without your wallet
Separate from the referral rides, the oh-shit fund is for everyday people caught short — you need to get somewhere and your wallet isn’t on you, or the money just isn’t there today. No caseworker, no referral, no paperwork marathon. That is what it is for.
Caught short? Call or text 573-578-3193.
Drivers make it run
We recruit drivers right here in the community — veterans and military spouses from the Fort Leonard Wood area first — because riders make it real, but drivers make it run. Drivers who complete 15 verified corridor rides a week qualify for a $150/week rental subsidy toward a Hertz or Avis car. Driving here is a side hustle and community service at the same time. Every ride booked brings more local drivers online.
Interested in driving or volunteering? See Volunteer or call 573-578-3193.
How the rides work
Free rides are fully free — never partial help, never “short a couple bucks.”
They come through case managers, for people who genuinely need to access care: work, treatment, court, and family. If you need to get there and you have no way there, that’s who these rides are for.
The oh-shit fund is separate. It’s for everyday people in a pinch — the wallet left at home, the ride that fell through, the day that went sideways. No case manager needed for that one. Just contact us.
Why we’re doing it this way
We cannot sustain this need on our own. Nobody out here can, alone.
So we’re proving what a community can do on its own: neighbors getting neighbors where they need to go, and everyday life getting a little better for everyday people who just need a hand.
This isn’t about enabling anyone — it’s about getting someone where they NEED to go. To work. To treatment. To court. To family. To the place that keeps their life moving.
Drivers
We need volunteer drivers, and we need them to coordinate with us — so a ride isn’t a lucky break, it’s a system people can count on.
Once our goal is hit, we will launch stipends to promote rideshare drivers and encourage engagement in our programming.
We cannot promise permanent stipends. What we can promise is this: we will prove the model, together, and show that a community can build its own way to get around.
Rides given as of Monday, October 26, 2026 — counting two rides a week, every week since March 26, 2026, the day Hope Lives On Recovery Road incorporated.
Rides are already on the road — personally. The voucher pilot above is still being funded, but the rides are not waiting on it. On her own time and her own dime, our founder is out driving rideshare herself, working with case management to reach the people who need to get to care, and paying for those rides out of her own pocket. Every ride is logged. The impact is modest and we say so plainly, but it is real, it is counted, and it is already happening. Her personal driving is her own; our agency-booked rides still run through our Uber for Business and Uber Health accounts.
The county challenge
Each county funds its own $15,000 per quarter pilot — the launch fund, carrying 540 rides per quarter: 90% of the fund goes to rides at the $25.00 average cost per one-way trip*, with 10% to overhead. Standings are posted online and on paper wherever donation buckets and posters live. The first county to fund its pilot gets the next launch.
| County | Status | Raised | Rides per quarter at full funding | Goal per quarter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phelps (Rolla · St. James) | Launching first | $2,000 | 540 | $15,000 per quarter |
| Texas (Houston) | Next fund in the race | — | 540 | $15,000 per quarter |
| Crawford | In the corridor plan | — | 540 | $15,000 per quarter |
| Pulaski (Laquey · Waynesville) | In the corridor plan | — | 540 | $15,000 per quarter |
The full corridor vision, all at the same $25.00 average cost per one-way trip* with 90% of funds going to rides: $35,000 expands into Crawford & Texas Counties (1,260 rides); $50,000 reaches full four-county scale (1,800 rides). A county core tier is $5,000 — 180 rides.
The four counties above — Phelps, Pulaski, Crawford, and Texas — are the pilot: a trial run, a chance for this community to prove the model together and to encourage neighbors to engage with and support one another. The program as a whole reaches further: it covers eight counties across the region, and we serve the surrounding counties as well — a neighbor just over a county line is not left standing.
Your gift funds rides — and nothing else moves until someone rides
Hope Lives On Recovery Road is an officially recognized 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit, incorporated in Missouri on March 26, 2026. Federal EIN: 41-5133081 · Missouri Charter: N001704229. Your gift is tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law, and you will receive a tax receipt for your records.
See what your gift puts on the road
$25 joins the pooled ride fund — every $25 of ride money puts 1 one-way trip* on the road
Gifts are pooled into one ride fund: 90% of the fund goes to rides at the $25 average cost per one-way trip*, and a lean 10% covers overhead. The count above is the whole one-way trips your gift fully covers on its own — whatever is left over stays pooled toward the next ride, so no part of a gift goes to waste. Any amount also feeds the oh-shit fund, for everyday people caught without their wallet.
* $25 is a one-way trip. $50 is a round trip — two one-way rides.
$13,000 to go to fully fund the Phelps County launch. The next step is simple: pick an amount above, then tap Donate — your gift pools with your neighbors’ gifts until the next ride is fully funded.
Monthly giving: on the Zeffy form, choose the monthly option and the same gift repeats every month — steady gifts keep rides funded between fundraisers.
About “100%” and “90%”: Zeffy charges no platform fee, so 100% of your gift reaches Hope Lives On Recovery Road. We then put 90% of it to rides and 10% to overhead — that published split, not a platform cut, is the difference between the two numbers.
Ways to give: Scan a QR code on our posters and canisters around Phelps County — it donates directly to the Uber fund that puts rides on the road. Give through our PayPal Giving Fund link, where PayPal covers the processing fees, so no part of your gift is skimmed by card fees. Drop change in a labeled Safe Rides canister at participating gas stations and businesses. Or give through our Walmart registry for the supplies the demonstration runs on. You can also give through our Zeffy donation form, “Rural Transportation — For Rural Safety” — Zeffy charges no platform fee, so 100% of your gift goes to the mission, and you receive a tax receipt. Prefer to talk it through? Email or call us and we will walk you through it personally: home@hopeliveson.foundation · 573-578-3193.
How your gift is used
Donations go into our ride fund — the Uber fund — held on our payment method in our Uber for Business account. Money is only spent when a rider actually redeems a ride — vouchers that never get used cost nothing. Nobody at Hope Lives On is paid a salary — this work is volunteer-run, start to finish. Overhead exists, like it does for any real operation — ours runs about 10% of funds — and we are straight about that; what we promise is ride-by-ride records we are glad to show any donor who asks.
Other ways to help
QR codes: see our poster at a clinic, church, courthouse, or business? Scan the QR code and your gift goes straight into the Uber fund — no account, no fuss, just a ride funded.
Gas-station canisters: drop your change in a labeled Safe Rides canister at participating stations — every canister carries our name, 501(c)(3) status, and what the money funds, and every count is done by two people.
Businesses: adopt a ride goal (“this shop funds 40 rides”), host a canister, or run a $25 register paper-ride card campaign your customers post on the wall.
Churches & agencies: hand rider wallet cards to the people you serve — caseworkers, clinics, drug court, and health partners meet riders first.
We need hands, hearts, and minds
The demonstration is built by volunteers — and so is the road into it. Whether you have an hour a month or a day a week, there is a real job here with your name on it. To start, email home@hopeliveson.foundation or call 573-578-3193 and tell us which role sounds like you.
Gardeners
Tend the demonstration garden — planting, watering, harvesting, and sharing Ozark growing know-how. The garden is the most visible proof that reclaimed ground feeds people again.
Drivers
Drive Safe Rides in Phelps County through the rideshare network. Veterans and military spouses are our first call. Riders make it real — drivers make it run — and regular corridor drivers can qualify for the $150/week rental subsidy.
Storytellers & Musicians
Carry the message. Storytellers and musicians power workshops, events, and our #TellSomeone and “Survive out loud” voice online — because people follow proof and stories, not organizations.
Builders & Handy Hands
Our Handy Ladies and Gentlemen build, repair, and reclaim — garden beds, gathering space, lantern displays, and the physical ground the demonstration stands on.
Teachers
Lead a workshop or a learning session. If you know a craft, a trade, or a life skill worth passing on, the demonstration has a room — and an audience — for it.
Virtual Assistants & You
Scheduling, posting, counting canisters with a partner, designing posters, driving the paperwork — remote and behind-the-scenes help keeps the no-salary model possible. Don’t see your role? That’s the last one on the list for a reason: You — we need you.
Who we are, and how the money is watched
Hope Lives On Recovery Road was incorporated in Missouri on March 26, 2026, as a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 41-5133081 · Missouri Charter N001704229), based at 27670 Swanson Rd, Laquey, MO 65534. Our cause language online says it plainly: #IamJaneDoe, #solutionfocused — humanity can do better, and we intend to survive out loud, together.
How the rides run
Safe Rides is run by Hope Lives On Recovery Road — the Community Catalyst — across the four-county I-44 / US-63 corridor. Rides run through our Uber for Business and Uber Health accounts, funded by the community itself, $25* at a time.
Agency partners — including Pulaski Drug Court, Phelps Health, Crawford TCM, and Texas SB 40 — book rides for the people they serve with monthly caps, unused rides rolling over, and geofenced destinations. Caseworkers book with de-identified participant codes, so a rider’s privacy is protected by design.
How every dollar is accounted for
Hope Lives On pays no salaries — nobody here is on a payroll. Overhead is real, and we don’t hide it — we hold it to about 10% of funds, and that’s being generous to it; what’s leanest is the payroll, because there isn’t one. Ride spending is benchmarked at a $25.00 average cost per one-way trip*, vouchers are paid only on redemption, and ride records are kept for every trip the fund pays for. Canister cash is always counted by two people. If you ever want to know where a dollar went, ask us — that is a promise, not a policy: home@hopeliveson.foundation.
Common questions
What is Hope Lives On Recovery Road’s mission, and what outcomes does it pursue?
The mission of Hope Lives On Recovery Road is to create a culture of healing in areas tainted by scars from the past. We support survivors and families in crisis with trauma-informed care, essential resources, and community programs, delivered through five program elements — gardening, art, events, workshops, and education — on reclaimed rural land in Laquey, Missouri. The intended outcomes are measurable in plain terms: residents who can reach care, work, and court; land returned to productive community use; and a visible, replicable demonstration that a rural community can heal itself. Transportation is not the mission. It is the access layer that makes every other outcome reachable, because none of this work reaches a person who cannot get there.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. Hope Lives On Recovery Road is an officially recognized 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization (Federal EIN 41-5133081; Missouri Charter N001704229), incorporated in Missouri on March 26, 2026. Contributions are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law, and every donor receives a receipt for their records. Gifts made through our Zeffy donation form carry no platform fee, so 100% of the gift goes to the mission and arrives whole, with a tax receipt issued for your records.
How are donated funds allocated?
Funds are allocated on a fixed, published model: 90% of the Safe Rides launch fund goes directly to rides, and 10% covers organizational overhead — a figure we state plainly and describe as generous to our overhead. At a benchmark average cost of $25.00 per one-way trip*, the $15,000 per quarter Phelps County launch fund therefore delivers 540 one-way trips per quarter. We pay no salaries; all program delivery is volunteer-run, which is what makes the 90/10 allocation sustainable. Ride funds are disbursed only when a rider actually redeems a voucher — unused vouchers cost nothing, and unspent funds remain in the ride fund for the next rider.
What does a gift at each level accomplish?
Outcomes are stated per dollar so funders can map a contribution directly to impact. A $25* gift funds one one-way trip; $50* funds a round trip (two one-way trips), so no rider is stranded at a destination. A county core tier of $5,000 funds 180 rides. A full county pilot of $15,000 per quarter funds 540 one-way trips per quarter. At corridor scale, $35,000 expands service into Crawford and Texas Counties (1,260 rides), and $50,000 reaches full four-county scale across Phelps, Pulaski, Crawford, and Texas Counties (1,800 rides) — all calculated at the same $25.00 average cost per one-way trip*, with 90% of funds going to rides.
What is the current status of the pilot, and how does expansion proceed?
The Safe Rides pilot launches first in Phelps County, Missouri, with a $15,000 per quarter launch-fund goal. As of publication, $2,000 has been raised toward that goal — including $1,000 each from Walmart Spark Good, Store #101 (Rolla Supercenter) and Distribution Center #6069 (St. James) — leaving $13,000 to close the fund. Expansion is structured as a county challenge: each county funds its own $15,000 per quarter pilot, standings are posted publicly, and the first county to fully fund its pilot receives the next launch. Texas County is the next fund in the race; Crawford and Pulaski Counties are in the corridor plan. In the meantime, rides are already being given personally: our founder drives rideshare on her own, works with case management to reach riders, and pays for those rides out of pocket — every ride logged — and the ride clock on this page counts them at two rides a week, every week since Hope Lives On Recovery Road incorporated on March 26, 2026.
Who can get a Safe Ride, and how is eligibility determined?
Safe Rides serve people who genuinely need to reach care — medical appointments, treatment, court, the pharmacy, and home again. Eligibility is established through a court-mandated referral or through a caseworker, clinic, or church that verifies the need, so rides reach the people they are intended for. The ride is completely free to the rider: the fund pays the whole fare, never a portion of it, and no program label is attached to the rider. A caseworker can book the ride on the rider’s behalf with no smartphone, card, or app required; riders receive a text or voice call when the ride is on its way. Individuals may also call or text us directly at 573-578-3193 to be set up.
How are rides delivered, and how is use verified?
Rides are delivered through our Uber for Business account, using vouchers issued to riders; agency partners book through Uber Health for the people they serve. Agency partners — including Pulaski Drug Court, Phelps Health, Crawford TCM, and Texas SB 40 — operate with monthly caps, unused rides rolling over, and geofenced destinations. Payment is made only on voucher redemption, which means every dollar of ride spending corresponds to a completed, recorded trip. Ride records are kept for every trip the fund pays for, and we will show those records to any donor who asks.
How is rider privacy protected?
Privacy is protected by design. Caseworkers book rides using de-identified participant codes, so a rider’s identity is not shared with us in the booking process. Program results are reported in aggregate — rides given, dollars raised — without naming individuals. Rider stories are shared only with the rider’s permission, and never with a face or name by default. We never sell, rent, or trade personal information.
What if I’m caught short — no wallet, no money for the ride?
A separate, dedicated provision — the oh-shit fund — exists for everyday people caught short: a person who needs to get somewhere and whose wallet is not on them, or whose money is not there that day. No caseworker, no referral, and no paperwork is required; a call or text to 573-578-3193 is sufficient. This fund is deliberately distinct from the referral-based Safe Rides program: Safe Rides are fully free rides to care, verified through referral; the oh-shit fund covers the everyday emergency of being caught without means in the moment.
Why is transportation part of a healing nonprofit?
Because in rural Missouri, distance is a determinant of outcomes. Treatment is in the next town over; court is thirty minutes away; the job that keeps a family standing is on the other side of the county; and there is no bus line. A missed ride becomes a missed appointment, a missed shift, a missed court date. Transportation is therefore structured as the access layer beneath the mission — the rural reclamation demonstration of community healing — and beneath care, work, and court alike. The rides exist so that no resident is excluded from healing, treatment, employment, or legal obligation by the lack of a ride.
How is this different from a taxi or bus service?
The model is community-built rather than commercially operated. Rides run on vouchers through Uber for Business and Uber Health, booked by neighbors, caseworkers, churches, and agencies who already know the riders; they are funded $25 at a time by the community itself; and drivers are recruited locally first. Because we pay only on redemption, the model carries no fleet cost and no charge for unused capacity. The campaign thesis states the distinction plainly: the objective is to prove that a community can create its own public transportation system — together.
Who drives, and how are drivers supported?
Drivers are recruited from within the community, with veterans and military spouses from the Fort Leonard Wood area as the first call, because local drivers know the roads, the riders, and the stakes. Driving is structured as both a side income opportunity and community service: drivers who complete 15 verified corridor rides a week qualify for a $150-per-week rental subsidy toward a Hertz or Avis car. Every ride booked brings more local drivers online, so rider demand and driver supply grow together.
What giving channels are available to donors and funders?
Multiple verified channels are open. Donors may give through the Zeffy donation form, “Rural Transportation — For Rural Safety”, where no platform fee is charged and 100% of the gift goes to the mission with a tax receipt; through our PayPal Giving Fund page, where PayPal covers all transaction fees; by scanning the QR code on our posters and canisters, which donates directly to the Uber fund; by contributing change to labeled Safe Rides canisters at participating gas stations and businesses, with every count conducted by two people; or through our Walmart registry, which supplies the materials the demonstration runs on.
What is the survivor art gallery, and is the art for sale?
The gallery presents handmade work — braided cord, mixed-media collage, twine lettering, and resin among the first pieces shown — made by survivors and shared in support of donations to Hope Lives On Recovery Road. The work is not for sale; it is presented to move donors and supporters to give, and to make healing visible in public. Artists who wish to donate a piece to fundraise for the cause may contact us at home@hopeliveson.foundation or 573-578-3193. Pieces are captioned by medium only; no artist is named and no personal story is attached without the maker’s say.
How can I volunteer, and what roles are needed?
The demonstration and the ride program are both volunteer-delivered, and defined roles are open now: gardeners to tend the demonstration garden; drivers for Safe Rides in Phelps County; storytellers and musicians to carry workshops, events, and our public voice; builders and handy hands for reclamation and construction work; teachers to lead workshops and learning sessions; and virtual assistants for scheduling, posting, canister counting with a partner, poster design, and paperwork. To begin, email home@hopeliveson.foundation or call 573-578-3193 and name the role that fits you.
Can my business, church, or county join?
Yes — partnership entry points are defined for each. Businesses may adopt a ride goal (for example, “this shop funds 40 rides”), host a donation canister, or run a $25 register paper-ride card campaign for customers. Churches and agencies may distribute rider wallet cards to the people they serve; caseworkers, clinics, drug court, and health partners are the first point of contact for most riders. Counties may enter the county challenge by funding their own $15,000 per quarter pilot. To set any of this up, email home@hopeliveson.foundation or call 573-578-3193.
How do I request a ride, a referral, or more information?
All requests begin with the same contact points. Call or text 573-578-3193, or email home@hopeliveson.foundation. Riders, referring caseworkers and agencies, donors, drivers, volunteers, partners, and press are all routed from that single hello, and we respond personally — there is no call center and no automated intake.
There’s a place for you here
Whether you’re a survivor, supporter, artist, or believer — reach out. Riders, donors, drivers, partners, and press all start with the same hello.

Privacy Policy
Hope Lives On Recovery Road · Last updated October 25, 2026
What we collect
We collect only the information needed to run our programs and this website: contact details you give us (name, email, phone) when you reach out, volunteer, or ask about a ride; donation information processed by our payment partners; and basic, aggregate website usage information. Ride bookings made through agency partners use de-identified participant codes — caseworkers book rides without sharing a rider’s identity with us.
How we use it
We use your information to respond to you, coordinate rides and volunteer activity, process and acknowledge donations, and report program results in aggregate (rides given, dollars raised) without naming individuals. Rider stories are shared only with the rider’s permission, and never with a face or name by default.
Donations
Online donations are processed by our payment partners (PayPal and Zeffy). We do not receive or store your full payment card information; those processors handle it under their own privacy policies. Donation records (amount, date, and the contact details needed for your tax receipt) are kept for nonprofit accounting and audit purposes.
What we never do
We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not display third-party advertising or run affiliate marketing on this site. We do promote Hope Lives On Recovery Road with our own ads elsewhere (such as Google Ads), and we may use measurement tools — for example, a Google tag — to count, in aggregate, the visits and donation clicks those ads send to this site; that measurement never includes your payment details. We share information only with the partners named on this page (ride and payment processors) or when the law requires it.
Your choices
You may ask us at any time what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, by emailing home@hopeliveson.foundation or calling 573-578-3193. If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
