Alek Rose Awarded 2011 Toyota Camry
On January 25, 2019, we presented our latest vehicle to Alek Rose of Carbondale. Alek was without a
vehicle to help him get to and from work every day. His transportation
dilemma was compounded by a recent bicycle accident that left him with a
broken left arm.
Marion Toyota team members Bridget Vale, Doug Janz and
David Mayer took part in the selection process and were on hand when
Alek discovered that he is now the owner of this 2011 Toyota Camry.
Congratulations Alek and thank you to all of the team members at Marion
Toyota and Marion Collision Center who helped make this possible.
Despite
having been steadily employed at the same care facility for nearly 20
years, this single mother of seven children had access only to an
ancient, failing, unreliable vehicle. Although she poured
every available dollar into constant patches and repairs, she frequently
had to walk 3 miles to work regardless of weather, could only grocery
shop if someone was able to drive her to the regional store several
miles away, and could not safely transport her children or
grandchildren.
If now or in the future you have an older car
that might be suitable for repair and reconditioning to help a family
in need, please contact us to learn how you can partner with Project
CAR.
