"There are not enough words to thank Wheels of Success for all it has done to help my participant. She drove away from the auto shop, picked up her boys, drove to work the next day, picked up a sick kid, went back to work, bought groceries on her way home … all with no need to call her abusive ex."
- Julie Menke
Parent Support Coordinator

Wheels of Success does more than give out cars. We help with car repairs, tag/title/insurance, car payments and down payments. Any donation, no matter how small, can make a huge difference. $35 transfers a title; $50 buys a tire or battery. Please consider making an online donation or donating your vehicle to help another family stay on the road. Was this email forwarded to you? Subscribe at: www.wheelsofsuccess.org

| The Winner's Circle: Ebonie's Story |
|
|
|
Ebonie B. was in jeopardy of losing her job. Lacking a car and stretched between her child’s and employer’s needs, she relied on a well-meaning but often inefficient bus system to get to daycare and work each morning. This left her arriving late to her temporary job, diminishing her employer's faith in her reliability.
Then, during last year’s Wheels of Success Labor Day Car Giveaway, Ebonie’s life changed. Through a generous grant from Altrusa International Tampa Bay Club's William B Hogan Foundation, Ebonie received reliable transportation. Rather than losing her job, she soon received a promotion … and began to build a better life for her and her daughter.
During last year’s Labor Day event, Wheels of Success gave away 20 cars. This year’s goal is 50 vehicles. If you’d like to help through a car, truck, van or monetary donation, click here
