Single Mom Of Three Kids With Two Jobs Receives Car From Strangers

Feb 12, 2020 by apost team

Each morning, a single mother from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Jasmine, wakes up at 5 a.m. She then makes lunches for her children and makes sure that they brush their teeth and get ready for their day at school.

Because Jasmine does not have a car, she has to bring her kids to school using city buses. To keep her family financially secure, Jasmine also works two jobs.

In total, Jasmine estimates that she spends about five hours on buses each day as she goes to work, takes her kids to and from school, and runs errands.

Speaking with reporters from Inside Edition, Jasmine says that while she keeps up a brave face, sometimes the stress of her day causes her to break down and cry.

In moments like these, Jasmine turns to prayer to get herself through her darkest hours. Jasmine’s prayers were recently answered by mechanics at Midas.

The car repair company had heard of Jasmine’s plight and gifted her a donated SUV that they had fixed up. The car came from 1-800-Charity Cars and cost about $2,000 to fix. Brian Beers, one of the mechanics who helped fix up Jasmine’s new car, told Inside Edition that it was incredibly rewarding to help the harried mom of three.

When Brian and the other mechanics presented the keys to Jasmine, the surprised mom swept him up in a big hug.

Jasmine says that having a car is life-changing for her family. Jasmine tells how because she must rely on public transportation, she is limited to where she can seek employment.

Now that she has her own car, Jasmine hopes to get a better job that will make an even bigger impact on her children’s lives.

In the end, Jasmine says that her kids will forever be at the center of her life. Speaking with representatives from Project Spark, the charity wing of Midas, Jasmine says that she would go to the moon for her kids and that she wants them to have all of the advantages that she didn’t have when she was growing up.

In total, Project Spark has repaired over 1,000 vehicles for people just like Jasmine, many of whom are veterans, first responders, or come from low-income households.
