Mary is a single mom, she has 3 children at home and 2 older children she is working on getting more time with as well as custody. Mary receives disability due to illness’ that prevent her from holding down a full time job. She has attempted part time work, however child care is not available for the times they want her to work. Mary has left a violent relationship and is making things work on her own. Mary initially came to us for a repair on her van, upon inspection it had more wrong with it than what was causing it to smoke and sputter. Mary is happy to ‘pay it forward’ for someone else and donate her broken van to be sold for Because People Matter.
Mary is very excited, reliable transportation is one of the required items she must have in order to gain additional time with the older children. We advise all recipients of the warranty/maintenance plan available to her through Because People Matter, but she does not have the funds to pay for it. However, during a conversation with a family member this week about what Because People Matter is doing to help her and her children, a family member has stepped up and is buying the warranty for Mary. They told her they are proud of all that she has accomplished and want her to continue to be successful.-Way to go Mary!
This is the 14th donation for the year for the Lincoln market!
