An organization in Utah is making Christmas very merry for some Utah moms and their kids. Cars for Moms is a non-profit organization which gives cars to single mothers who dont have transportation for them and their kids. This information comes from Cars for Christmas: Non-profit gives cars to single moms, by Lori Prichard of KSL TV.
Cars for Moms was founded by John Doxey after his sisters husband was killed in a car accident, leaving her alone with eight children and no vehicle. His goal is to get 20 vehicles donated every month. He uses the scrap money from those that cant be fixed to fix the cars which can be. The need for his organization is very far reaching because there are many single moms out there in need of transportation.
The article highlights the story of Cheri, who has been helped by The ChainBreaker Foundation after leaving an abusive husband. She has three children to support and received a Chrysler Town & Country mini-van through a partnership between Cars for Moms and The ChainBreaker Foundation. In addition to the mini-van, Doxeys organization gave Cheri a few months of car insurance, a gas card for $50, and the vehicles title. They also included a stack of Christmas presents for her children.
