I am so grateful. This car is vital for my daughter's health due to ongoing medical needs. It will be used to travel to appointments in Boston, New Hampshire, and here in Burlington. As a single mom, I'll be able to get a job and tend to my daughter's needs. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have answered my prayers.

Thank you for donating your car to Good News Garage and for giving my family of five the opportunity to be in a safe vehicle. My family has gone through a lot recently, and getting this vehicle relieves a great amount of stress for us.

The car helped me get a steady job as a personal care assistant for a 99-year-old woman, but I also got a lot more than that.

I just wanted to say thank you for everything. The car is fantastic and it is making things a lot easier. I've been able to go to other stores for my job the past two days to help out where they are needing extra people. It is perfect. Again, thank you for everything.
