The Giving Words initiative played a pivotal role in making this car donation possible. The nonprofit helps single mothers overcome crisis events such as car repairs that might otherwise destabilize families.
Casey Hollins, a representative from Rappahannock Electric Cooperative, contributed $10,200 to Giving Words to help make the gift possible.
"I can completely relate to the needs of this mother, and it's a truly touching experience," Hollins told WVIR, having been a single mother herself.
