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.

Michelle Mendez expressed her gratitude, acknowledging the profound impact of this gift on her life.

"They've truly been instrumental in helping me obtain this car. It's been a real struggle. I sincerely appreciate everything that has made this possible," she said.

Mendez further explained, "Having this car enables me to easily transport my children to their various commitments and ensures I can commute to work, allowing me to fulfill essential tasks."
