Story
Wheels of Success has made me a success!
After coming to Tampa from last year's hurricanes,
as if starting a new life wasn't hard enough,
my car broke down beyond repair. For nearly
a year, my son and I took the bus to work and
day care, leaving us to struggle with what
were supposed to be simple things. Being a
loan officer, networking is required and I
was on the verge of termination for not meeting
my quotas.
My breaking point was in the summer. It rained
everyday. Standing on the side of the street
with the most patient two year old I could
ask for, I realized it was time to seek help.
One call after another I began my journey and
came across Wheels of Success through a referral
from The Salvation Army (it receives car donations,
but does not give them out). Three days after
filling out my online application, an angel
touched my phone. On the other end was the
most empathetic woman I've ever met, Susan
Jacobs.
After the qualification process she took
me to get insurance/registration. She put me
in a safe, comfortable 1995 Jeep. Not only
did it come with a 30 day warranty, but last
week I received a AAA card. Grocery shopping
and going to work are no longer a struggle.
I'm free, not confined to city transportation,
hot sun or sudden thunderstorms.
I'm finally able to present myself as an
equal to others in my profession thanks to
Wheels of Success. You've changed my life,
a complete 360 ... Thank You, Susan. You‚re
an inspiration and mentor. The world needs
more people like you. |
