Former “At-Risk” Youth Receives A Vehicle Donation For College Transportation
Jevon is a young man who has already met and overcome major obstacles and challenges. He spent his youth on the tough inner-city streets of South Los Angeles and worked his way through middle and high school. He survived the foster care system, and is the first member of his family to attend college.
Jevon became involved as a youth participant with Echoes of Hope and their partner Bresee Foundation; both organizations target at-risk youth in the Los Angeles area. Through their programs, young people are given access to the tools and experiences necessary to succeed. These programs focus on helping young people plan their career paths and set realistic goals that will move them closer and prepare them for those careers while developing a work ethic and leadership abilities that will serve them throughout their lives.
Echoes of Hope contacted us about this amazing young man who has just completed his first year at Cal State University Channel Islands where he received honors as “Outstanding First Year Student Leader”, and was awarded the “Triumph Award”.
With the help of Echoes of Hope, Bresee Foundation and Cars 4 Causes®, Jevon is now poised to drive forward into his future in a 1996 Honda Accord! We are thrilled to be able to help him on his way and wish him great success!

To Whom It May Concern: My daughter is in need of a vehicle if possible
she was recently assaulted taking the train. If there is anyone out there that
can understand the position of my daughter who just graduated from H.S.
She is just starting college to study to be a Chef. She is afraid to step out. I
hope that the car give-away program can help my daughter by donating her a
car. It is important for my daughter to feel safe. May god bless the people who
can help my daugher with a car.
