Shanelle Williams is a devoted single mother who has worked tirelessly to provide for her 11-year-old son. She was just about to make the final payment on her dark blue 2013 Hyundai Sonata, a milestone she was excited to reach. As her only source of transportation, the car was essential for getting her son to school and for her daily commute to her job at a local school in Rodeo.

On Sunday, October 5th, Shanelle’s car was stolen from the Bayview elementary area in San Pablo while she was spending time with friends. The car was later found totaled, having been used in a crime. Although Shanelle has insurance, the payout will not come close to covering the cost of a replacement vehicle due to depreciation. Now she faces the challenge of finding reliable transportation so she can continue supporting her son and fulfilling her responsibilities at work.

Shanelle is known for her kindness, open-mindedness, and unwavering dedication to her family and her job. She always puts others first and has touched the lives of many in her community. This fundraiser is to help Shanelle regain the stability she and her son need. Any support will make a meaningful difference as she works to overcome this unexpected hardship.
