A Set of Keys Provides Mother with Freedom

Keona Jones, a mother of four, looks forward to her newfound freedom now that she is the owner of a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan.

Relying on public transportation was not easy for Jones. โ€œThe most difficult aspect of not having a car was spending a lot of money on rides to work and not being able to put my kids in after school activities. Now I will be able to maintain employment, advance my employment opportunities and sign my children up for more activities.โ€

Jones is looking forward to providing her family with more. โ€œBefore finding Vehicles for Change, life without a car was a challenge. I was unable to put my babies in daycare which caused me to lose my job. Getting places was a hassle because the buses only run once every hour. Now that I have a car I am less stressed and I can do more. I am very thankful for this program.โ€ A car donation from Vehicles for Change has empowered Jones with the freedom necessary to change her life.
