Hello,
It is with heartfelt gratitude that I sit here writing this letter to you all. It has been quite a whirlwind since finding out in April that my family and I won the car that was graciously donated to us. I cannot even begin to tell you how much having a vehicle means to my children and I! From having the freedom to go where we want or need to, to being able to keep schedules, and appointments, and not having to carry groceries home, I have never felt more free than I do now.
The first thing my eldest son said when I brought the car home in May was "I can't wait to drive this! " he now has his L and is anxious to get behind the wheel, lol. My 11 year old son has said he "loves not having to take the bus", and my four year old daughter Kara, only wants me to pick her up from the daycare so she doesn't have to take the bus home with her brother, lol. It is an absolutely amazing gift! We all feel so blessed. All because of the generosity of amazing people like you!
Thank you so much for reaching out and touching my children's and my life the way you have. My faith is completely restored. I look farther into the future then I would allow myself to look before, and wish upon that star. This has been the start of my wishes coming true. Thank you so much for helping to lift my family up when we need it most. You not only provided us with a car, but you have provided us with a means for a future, a better life, and a road we can improve on from here.
I wish all of you the absolute best in what this amazing life has to offer.Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts
Sincerely
Andrea, Tyler, Justin, and Kara DeMan
