Michelle* is a 22 year old young woman who was recently granted legal guardianship of her three siblings after her mother passed away. She maintains 2 part-time jobs while going to school online to complete her GED.
Monday thru Friday, Michelle awakes at 5:30 to prepare her siblings for school. The oldest is car- pooled to her middle school and Michelle walks the two youngest to school, where they must cross a dangerous intersection where a child was killed this past year.
Michelle then walks home and takes the bus for her one hour commute to her first job. Given the combined schedule of both of her part-time jobs she can not always take the bus and must often walk home in order to meet her siblings.
We would like to thank an anonymous donor that learned of our program at Steve and Julie Weintraub's Gold & Diamond Source Holiday VIP Party for donating the funds to refurbish a vehicle for Michelle thru our Build-A-Car program.
Now we are in search of the perfect vehicle for Michelle and her three siblings. If you are interested in donating a vehicle to support Michelle, please click here.
