Lily Aimone

Lily Aimone serves as the founder of the Montana Domestic Violence Railroad, a nonprofit she established to assist survivors of domestic violence by providing safe housing and court support. Based in Billings, Montana, where she has lived for about 10 years, Aimone brings a decade of experience in the automotive industry and four years of dedicated nonprofit advocacy work. She holds a CNA license and earned her high school diploma after being court-ordered to attend school following a challenging upbringing that limited her early education. Although she pursued some college coursework, she ultimately dropped out while managing responsibilities as a single mother working multiple jobs. Through her organization, Aimone advocates for survivors in court proceedings, helps secure housing, and works with local leaders including mayors and legislators to drive policy changes. Her efforts also include speaking engagements, such as at the Montana Women's Leadership Conference, and she is actively pursuing foster parent certification to expand her support for children affected by domestic violence situations.
