Her name is Ariel.

For those who have met her, you've probably witnessed her kindness and willingness to go above and beyond to help out and cheer you up, no matter what.

For those who have never met her, let's put it this way... while the majority of us think about what to cook for thanksgiving and/or Christmas, she was on a shelter feeding the homeless each and every day of the holidays last year (her first year with a car to be able to do it). 

I asked her if she missed being with her friends and family and she responded "I do, but they need it more...I rather do things that matter :)" Gave me a reality check!

The issue: her +20 year old car is giving up. That is her only way to work, school, you name it. Every other week I am under the hood trying to quick fix it or helping her figure out what is causing it to not turn on again and again. This makes her spend any money that she earns on mechanics and parts...If she does not have a car, she cannot work, if she cannot work she does not have money for school...a never ending cycle. She lives on her own around Matthews with no mass transportation stops close by.

 
This past week, it touched bottom. Physically and emotionally tired, she told me she is giving up... while crying she told me how she will never be able to go to school and do something good with her life. It broke my heart.
 
Listen, she does not have any financial aid or anything other than what you and me can do.

I am pushing her to keep on going and grow to do things that matter, and as her boss, I try to do as much as possible to help....but I cannot do this alone, I need you to help me guys.

The goal:  she has given everything, expecting nothing in return! Let's show her that charity and kindness is still alive and bring her spunk back!

Please, help me raise enough money to buy her a (newer) used car or something that will last her at least a year until she can afford any happening in her life. Let's give her a break!!!

Think about what are you thankful for and think about those who don't have it. With you help, we will bring that thankful smile back on her face and ensure this girl is able to continue with the life any girl her age should have! 

She does NOT know I am doing this, so please, if you know her, don't tell her.

If you are able to donate a decent condition used car, please let me know, it would mean THE WORLD to her. 

I will be sending all of you a special thank you pic when she receives whatever we can raise. If we manage to complete/surpass our goal, I will be making a video for all of you to see it.

You know what Thanksgiving and Christmas is all about, so no excuses there :) let's make her holidays worth it!!!!

 Any amount will do!! You only have $1 well that is one dollar in the right direction! Please don't shy away.

If you rather keep it anonymous, please feel free to do so. If you prefer donating in person, that's great! Let me know and I will coordinate. 

We are all kind, let's show it!
I'm making the first donation, your turn!

 
THANK YOU
Andres.
