A young, single mother had her car stolen while at the gas station, and the thief crashed the vehicle. Her basic liability insurance would not cover the claim, so she had no choice but to Uber both ways to work daily.
She not only could not make all her appointments for the patients she was caring for, but had the added expense of the Ubers that she could not afford. She was already struggling. She made too much money for governmental assistance but not enough to pay her mounting bills.
She called us in a panic, knowing her situation was untenable.
We had her car towed to a repair shop and consulted with auto body specialists, but the car was not repairable.
One of our St. Vincent de Paul “Angels” stepped up to help.
Our good friend Frank, of AAMCO in Medford, offered to repair a used car he had at his shop for her.
Unfortunately, we didn’t have the funds to purchase the car for her so Frank let her take the car with no money down so she could get back to work and is allowing us to pay him for the car over the following four months.
When we told her the news, the young mother wept in utter disbelief and joy. She thought she would never own a car again. Her gratitude was endless.
So, the Society, along with your help and our angel, not only gave this woman her life and livelihood back but also enabled her to care for more patients.
The gift of your love is endless. Thank you all!!
