On The Path to Freedom

Hope Thomas-Devs has a one-hour commute to work everyday. She leaves her home at 5:15 a.m. and takes two buses and the subway to get to work at 7 a.m. The commute is difficult for Hope, especially when the buses are late or there are subway delays.
To get to the grocery store, Hope has to walk there and then pay for cab rides back home with her groceries. She has trouble leaving her house because she does not want to deal with the MTA. Hope has a 7-year-old grandchild who she watches a fair amount. She cannot do activities with her because she does not want to wait for the bus on her days off.

Hope’s new car will allow her to pick her grandchild up from school and enjoy social activities with her. Hope will no longer have to stand at the bus stop in the cold. She looks forward to freedom and independence, and plans on letting her mother name the car.
