A car can change more than one life. ❤️ When Kyle decided it was time to part ways with his beloved Subaru, he knew exactly where he wanted it to go.

"I've loved the freedom, flexibility and opportunities my old Subaru has given me over the years. Having a reliable vehicle has been invaluable, and the idea of my car providing that to others in a second life is priceless. I think Working Wheels' mission is fantastic and I am thrilled to be a part of it."

Kyle, thank you for trusting us with your Subaru's next chapter. Because of generous donors like you, reliable transportation doesn't end when one family is finished with a vehicle, it becomes the beginning of someone else's story. One donated car can mean getting to work, taking children to school, making doctor's appointments, and building a more stable future.

Interested in donating your vehicle? We'd love to help it find its second life. https://workingwheelswnc.org/donate-a-car/

🚗 Meet Alina. Sometimes the biggest relief comes from knowing your car will start tomorrow morning. After receiving help through our Vehicle Repair Program, Alina shared this with us:

"Just want to say that I appreciate your work that gives a chance to people like us to have one less rock off their shoulders. I’m able to continue to go to work in order to provide for my family which I’m very grateful for."

A reliable vehicle means getting to work, providing for your family, making appointments, and having one less thing to worry about. Thank you to everyone who supports Working Wheels. Every donation helps keep another family safely on the road.

❤️ Together, we're keeping families driving.
