YOUR CAR DONATION DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
By Pat Jessup, Executive Director
Ever wonder if your vehicle donation really makes a difference? Well, take a look at this letter we recently received from Ericka Bigger of Project Understanding, and you might just be convinced that it does. The name of the family, and family members, have been changed in the interest of privacy.
Hello Pat,
My name is Ericka Bigger from Project Understanding and your organization helped us about 8 months ago with a car for one of our homeless families who entered our Transition House Program. I wanted to give you a follow up on how [Jennifer] has been doing since being blessed with the vehicle your organization donated to her and her children.
Before the vehicle [Jennifer] was struggling to complete any goals such as gaining employment or finishing her high school diploma since she also has 3 small children with her. Since getting the vehicle [Jennifer] has been attending school regularly at the Ventura Adult Ed and will be graduating in June!! Her teachers and I are very excited as is [Jennifer]. [Jennifer] believed that she would never be getting her high school diploma since she had so many barriers to accomplish. Yet with your great donation it allowed her to get to school everyday to make this goal come true! Also [Jennifer] is working part-time and attending school full-time. As soon as she completes her high school diploma she will be working full-time and will be deciding what her next goal is. Since also being in our program [Jennifer] has saved over $2,000 and continues to save. [Jennifer] has one year left with us and we know she will continue to make us proud.
I did want to share her success with you since your organization’s donation gave her motivation and the tool to continue in her goals.
Thank you for everything
Ericka Bigger
Transition House Program Manager
