I grew up in a single parent home. Like so many in those days, we didn't have much, but I always knew I would have a happy home, a warm bed and food on the table. During my childhood and even into my adult years my mom was always there to support and encourage me through all the trials of life and growing up, spending so much time and effort on me, accomplishing so much with so little - even though she had no one there for her. When I moved out on my own, she still had the same car she'd been driving for years - a beat up Mazda 626. By this time, the car had developed a serious case of under-body rust, was in desperate need of a tune up, needed tires and brakes, and was beginning an uneven idle. I guess it's one of those things that you take for granted since it was always functional and got us everywhere, but a lifetime of not having a person around who could keep up on maintenance and repairs had finally caught up to it. A few months later, the car refused to pass inspection, and mom sadly had to get rid of "old faithful" so to speak. To this day she has never had the money to replace the car. I have wanted to surprise her for years with a dependable car, but the daily matters of life and keeping up with my own household repairs and things have prevented me. My mom tries to stay in good spirits, despite her hardly making it out anymore. I take her places when I can, but I know from experience that nothing can quite replace the happiness and independence of having your own vehicle and being able to live your own life. Of course I have no problem helping her, but at 60 years old, she "doesn't want to be a bother" and I know she doesn't ask me to go places as often as she really needs. I'm using this site to raise money to buy the woman who has given so much of her talent and time and life to me a reliable car in good shape so she won't have to worry anymore and can get out and do the things she loves again. I've been putting a little money aside, and that combined with the funds raised here will enable me to make her happy once again. Thanks so much to all of you! :)
