Jerry is a veteran we donated a Taurus to just 2 months ago at the North store, however the transmission is out. Our service guys do an excellent job of getting these units ready as inexpensively and quickly as possible. You just never know what the future holds. A test drive is one thing, daily driving is another, and this tranny was just no good after continuous driving. Our goal is to make these units last 1-2 years for folks, in hopes that in that time they will be in a better position in their lives to purchase a different car. Well 2 months doesn’t cut it, so we are going to take Jerry’s Taurus back and donate him a different car.
Just as a reminder, Jerry is a veteran who has served our country on a few different tours. He is a participant in the Vocational Rehabilitation & Employment program through the VA. Jerry has also completed his second year at Southeast Community College. Jerry is planning on continuing his education and becoming an engineer. He is taking summer classes, as well as participates in the VA program. He also suffers from PTSD, as well as other issues. During our first donation he told me this next week is the hardest for him (fireworks). Jerry is dependent on a vehicle with his class schedule, VA program, and various appointments he attends weekly.
