Morning you are from the founder For wheels from The.
Heart good, Morning, yes good, morning thank you so much
for having. It thanks for coming in So steve tell
us little bit about yourself and wheels from the.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Heart, Well wheels from the heart really is my passion in.
Life you have a, calling And i've been revealed to
me that this is my calling to make a difference
and being in the automotive. Industry it's funny How god.
Works he puts an extremely, insecure people pleasing man in
(14:30):
the car business and, says, hey go check that. Out
but it was really because it helped me to understand
the need of what we, do which is we provide
reliable transportation to single mothers and their. Children so that's our.
Mission that's really where my focus, has you, know because
of the car. Business it's allowed me to open a
lot of doors that NORMALLY i wouldn't understand the needs
(14:50):
and be able to provide at a much better value than,
if you, know if you're just off the. Street well that's.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
True AND i think when you grow, up you learn
as you, go oh like like why WOULD, I why
AM i in this? Career and then all of a
sudden something clicks and maybe that's not the, original that's
not the career.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
You're gonna end up.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Being SO i think people end up having like most
people with three to seven different careers in their. Lifetime,
Oh elizabeth is saying she's gonna have Twenty, steve we
need to catch.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Up, yeah there you, go let's go. Together we'll come.
One SO i think it's good.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
That you have the opportunity to be more confident in
yourself by learning to do sales selling, cars but then
also being open to recognizing the need in the community
and being able to create a charity to meet that.
Need so how do people it's just Pump Beach county right,
now it's a Pompy Treasure.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Coast or do we have a little bit of. Flexibility
we have a vetting. Process we have a website which
Is wheels from The Heart dot or work and you
can go. Online we get inundated with, applications So i'll be,
HONEST i never know what will be accepted because we're. Overloaded. Sometimes,
actually in THAT i get calls from all over the.
(16:02):
Country now if you google, single moms and cars were
the first one to pop. Up SO i get a
lot of requests and it's it's heartbreaking BECAUSE i have
to focus Where i'm. AT i have a list of
girls waiting that have gone through the. Process understand what
you know it is to get a, car to take
care of a, car the responsibility of a, car but
(16:22):
in turn the beautiful doors it opens and the life
changing then it.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Is AND i know that.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
You because of your, background you were able to have
an insight into the. Cars but do the cars that
you donate do they come from people who donate? Cars
is that something that wheels from the heart would be
able to.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Accept, yeah we're an official five oh ONE c, three
so you will receive at tax right off for the car.
Donated the difference with us compared not to you, know
just the difference with us is that car will act
be gifted to a single model and it will not
be sold in. Auction, NOW i will say the caveat is.
This sometimes we'll have a classic car donate it that
(17:08):
an older person or somebody just SAID i got too many,
CARS i just want to give it, away and then
we'll sell that and we'll use those funds to buy several.
Cars Or i've had some other guys that have a business,
car like A x, car and it has one hundred
and twenty thousand miles and they want a new car
and they're getting nothing on the trade, in they just
Say i'd rather see a family get this. Car so
there are a lot of different ways to. Work but
then you get the full write. Off you can be
(17:30):
inevolved as you. Want you can give the keys to the,
mom you. CAN i, mean we have some people that
have donated cars that still stay in contact with some
of these moms and have watched them progress just by
the car that they were.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Gifted so they not only got the, car they created
another friendship and on the support SYSTEM.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I called you're part of the wheels from the hard.
Family it's going to try to stay in.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Touch, yeah, well, YEAH i, Mean and of, course if
you donate a, car you're. Invested you're invested in this
person that you're. Helping and that's a good thing because
people need more. People we need to be more invested
in each other and our success helping other people.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Succeed AND i don't think people realize because the majority
of us have either had a car or the right
to use a car as soon as we were, sixteen
and we don't understand, That, oh how could somebody not
have a? Car, Well i'm telling you it's a, pandemic
and it. Is it is you would be.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Surprised was one of four girls growing, UP i did
not have a. Car we were allowed to borrow my
stepmother's car if she was not using. It we had
to pay for the insurance and we had to pay
for the. Gas like so we paid for everything for
the use of the. Car but it was only if
it was. Available so let me tell you a lot
of TIMES i wanted to could do some. Things you
just like already air. Plants, sorry, Right and even if
(18:42):
you tried to plan, ahead WELL i might need. It
so it was just really. Challenging and, then like years,
ago had a frank come visit just for. Vacation she
lives In, WASHINGTON. Dc public transportation all over the, place
so easy to get, around not worrying about having a.
Car i'm, like do you want to go rent a?
Car do you want to borrow my car for the
day While i'm at? Work oh, no, No i'll take
the bus because there's a bus stop like, literally you,
(19:04):
know forty steps from my. Place she goes to the,
BUS i get out of, WORK i go AND i
get a Call.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
She's, like can you come pick me up at?
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Publics And i'm, like why are you a. Public she's,
Like i've been on the bus for an hour and a.
HALF i decided to get.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
OFF i got five. Miles she, yes it took.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Her she'd never even made it to the.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Beach some of our some of our girls who will
tell the story to you, know. Everybody oh the. Bus
they give them a bus. Pass you, know that's. Great
they spend two and a half hours each way to
get to. Work that's five hours a day times five
is twenty five. Hours that's more than half of your work.
Week that is wasted, time not with the, kids not
being better for, yourself, eating doing, exercise even, time LIKE i,
(19:41):
said being with the.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Kids well, yeah and you're gonna have to pay for that,
daycare Bright. Elizabeth well while you're on the, bus you're
paying for somebody to take care of your, kids while
you're spending five hours on a, bus.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Right which isn't a pleasant. Experience sorry for the bus,
system but it's not that.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
PLEASANT i, mean we have, one but it definitely needs
room for improvement, always, Right SO i.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Know i'm very.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Excited you have an event coming up THAT i have
been blessed to have been a part of since the
very first one and have seen it.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Grow do you want to talk a little bit about that?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Event a little or a. Lot let's talk a lot about.
That so this is going to be our Fourth cars
And Conversation unity in The, Community simple As black And white.
Event so basically it's an event to bring the community
together of all different, authenticities, religions, backgrounds understanding. Whatever and
(20:37):
we're going to have a panel and it's going to
be made up Of Attorney Lee, cohen who is a
prominent attorney in Del, Rey Deborah tendrick who's a state,
Representative Chris redding who's A Grammy award winning he does
some music with. Autism he has autistic. Son he's on the,
Board Mark, nudelberg who has been a. COACH i Know
(20:58):
i'm missing somebody and it's going TO i apologe. Us
but we'll have this panel and we have a moderator
and we'll ask some really tough, questions not just simple
layup like how do we end what's going? On like
how can we come together and understand what it's like
to walk in another man's or woman's? Shoes and then
along that is the called. Action so with everything you
should HAVE i feel as a called, Action, well what's
(21:18):
our called. Action wheels from The heart will present a
milestone for WHAT i think is our two hundredth. Car
we will donate to a single mom and her. Kids
and along with that we have three to four one
two videos and three moms in attendance that we'll talk
a little bit about the path of when they got a.
Car we have one girl that got a car when she's,
eighteen probably in twenty, fifteen. Sixteen she's now, married has two,
(21:42):
children full time, job just she just needed a little.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Help she's thriving, well and that's part of. It like
WHEN i went to, COLLEGE i did my internship In,
PITTSBURGH i did have a. Car the family THAT i
was renting their attic from that was the ROOM i was,
renting like all slope, room the whole. Thing they were just,
like if you need a, ride let us. Know but
here's the here's a bus pass and the bus will
(22:06):
take you, anywhere but you have to like time it out.
Right but you, know if you missed the, bus then
you're waiting like an hour for another bus kind of.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Thing.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Whatever but living life without a, car it's very.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Challenging it's it's freedom a car is instant. Freedom women
gets the keys to a, car it's instant. Freedom and
to your, point remember this. One not everybody is a
bus stop for their. House so some of these women
have to walk two miles and then they'll tell, you,
OH i have to go to public three times a.
Week and my silliness in the beginning, was, oh you
don't have the. Money, NO i can't carry the groceries
(22:41):
and my three. Kids so they got to take three four.
Trips so things we just you, know and so and
then the other part of that is some of these
women have. Jobs to get off at eight at, night
they're walking in the dark by, themselves you, know and
it's just it's it's very it's it's very frustrating that that's.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Kind of have a security fee as. Well, so, yeah
if you parking your car and can have the car
and going right, in that's one. Thing but having to
walk quite away from a bus stop you get to
a place at, Night, yeah that just can be.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Scary, WELL i think it's, wonderful especially with unity in the,
community having past recipients be. There it's this grassroots charity
that you've created is really remarkable because oftentimes when we
donate to an organization that is more, specific that isn't
(23:30):
something like a research for. Disease it's something that is
very individual, focused providing something for one recipient or, another
whether it be a scholarship or The keys To. Freedom
you don't usually get to find out about what happened
with that gift that we. Gave where here we actually
(23:50):
will be able to see the people and they'll be on,
hand and you can see the recipients and how their
lives have.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Developed and that's really. Remarkable, OH i think that's. Fantastic
so this is Happening, Thursday august, fourteenth, correct and it's

any coach out, there any coach or anybody that volunteers after.
(26:50):
School all the beautiful things we do were thankful for.
YOU i want to shout out to, You BUT i
also enter to raise your hand to tell me how
many of you kids fall through the? Cracks to pick them?
Up you got to take them, home not that you have,
to you want, to but they have no. Way they
can't get. There SO i hear endless TIMES i can't
get my you, know kids can't get the. Practice you
can't get, here and this and. That so you, know
(27:12):
how many people are we missing that could elevate into
greatness because just they can't get to where they have
to get gad to get.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
There, yeah like you, said how Many Lebron james is
are we? Missing?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Right or to care for cancer? Whatever whatever we're missing?
There maybe someone fell through the crack because we as
a community didn't come around to lift them, up to
give them that just a hand, up not a. Handout you, Know.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
So people go to the website single women that single
moms that need help. Yep once they get there is
there an?
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Application they, yeah they can fill out applications wheels from
The heart dot. Org and AS i, SAID i, APOLOGIZE
i just never we're getting them. Overloaded AND i also
have my phone number on the. Website you're more than
happy to call. Me i'll talk to you or guide
you through ideas IF i can't help, you which it
breaks my. Heart for every CAR i, give there's THIRTY i,
can't BUT i will walk, you maybe do a GoFundMe
(28:05):
Or and you, know that's the one beautiful thing about single.
Moms very. Humble they don't like to, ask they don't,
want you, know they're very timid and try a lot
of times to ask for. Help AND i kind of
try to bring them out of that and, say, hey you,
know in our faith we're supposed to. Ask and if
you don't, ask how do you? Know And i've actually
had people put On facebook In North dakota, wherever HEY
(28:25):
i need a, car and somebody, go, OH i got
this whole car sitting in the, driveway and then you
run it through the organization to get the tax right,
Up we do the paperwork and everybody.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Wins oh, Yeah so my only thing has always Been
if you don't, ask you don't get right because nobody's
going to know you need it unless you put that
out in the. Universe you need, help how are people
going to?
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Know and we all need. Help it's not a sign of,
anything but we need. Help we're.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
All ACTUALLY i think it's more of a sign of
strength being able to ask for, help, absolutely because having
gone through a lot of, ILLNESSES i never. Asked and
then the most recent ONE i. Asked so many people stepped.
Up they were so correct AND i really appreciated. That
and my one friend was, Like, wow you have a massive,
network and she was in awe of how many people
(29:09):
there were that would.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Help and that'll ill applaud you because of WHAT i
call that is relationship. Capital you've earned that through the
people that you've touched and loved on and been with
and help along the. Way and that's what we're supposed to, do,
Right and so when we need each, other we can
call on each other because we're not just taking life
from each. Other we're helping each other and not effing
something in.

You it is NonStop programming there that will just boggle the.
Mind free programs all, year all through the school. Year
go to cravistot org slash.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Education oh very. Cool why can't wait to find out
more about? That speak about finding out more. Information want
to welcome our guests for, Today we Have Steve. Mushletz good.
Morning you are from the founder For wheels from The.
Heart good, Morning, yes good, morning thank you so much
for having. It thanks for coming in So steve tell
us little bit about yourself and wheels from the.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Heart, Well wheels from the heart really is my passion in.
Life you have a, calling And i've been revealed to
me that this is my calling to make a difference
and being in the automotive. Industry it's funny How god.
Works he puts an extremely, insecure people pleasing man in
(14:30):
the car business and, says, hey go check that. Out
but it was really because it helped me to understand
the need of what we, do which is we provide
reliable transportation to single mothers and their. Children so that's our.
Mission that's really where my focus, has you, know because
of the car. Business it's allowed me to open a
lot of doors that NORMALLY i wouldn't understand the needs
(14:50):
and be able to provide at a much better value than,
if you, know if you're just off the. Street well that's.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
True AND i think when you grow, up you learn
as you, go oh like like why WOULD, I why
AM i in this? Career and then all of a
sudden something clicks and maybe that's not the, original that's
not the career.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
You're gonna end up.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Being SO i think people end up having like most
people with three to seven different careers in their. Lifetime,
Oh elizabeth is saying she's gonna have Twenty, steve we
need to catch.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Up, yeah there you, go let's go. Together we'll come.
One SO i think it's good.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
That you have the opportunity to be more confident in
yourself by learning to do sales selling, cars but then
also being open to recognizing the need in the community
and being able to create a charity to meet that.
Need so how do people it's just Pump Beach county right,
now it's a Pompy Treasure.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Coast or do we have a little bit of. Flexibility
we have a vetting. Process we have a website which
Is wheels from The Heart dot or work and you
can go. Online we get inundated with, applications So i'll be,
HONEST i never know what will be accepted because we're. Overloaded. Sometimes,
actually in THAT i get calls from all over the.
(16:02):
Country now if you google, single moms and cars were
the first one to pop. Up SO i get a
lot of requests and it's it's heartbreaking BECAUSE i have
to focus Where i'm. AT i have a list of
girls waiting that have gone through the. Process understand what
you know it is to get a, car to take
care of a, car the responsibility of a, car but
(16:22):
in turn the beautiful doors it opens and the life
changing then it.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Is AND i know that.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
You because of your, background you were able to have
an insight into the. Cars but do the cars that
you donate do they come from people who donate? Cars
is that something that wheels from the heart would be
able to.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Accept, yeah we're an official five oh ONE c, three
so you will receive at tax right off for the car.
Donated the difference with us compared not to you, know
just the difference with us is that car will act
be gifted to a single model and it will not
be sold in. Auction, NOW i will say the caveat is.
This sometimes we'll have a classic car donate it that
(17:08):
an older person or somebody just SAID i got too many,
CARS i just want to give it, away and then
we'll sell that and we'll use those funds to buy several.
Cars Or i've had some other guys that have a business,
car like A x, car and it has one hundred
and twenty thousand miles and they want a new car
and they're getting nothing on the trade, in they just
Say i'd rather see a family get this. Car so
there are a lot of different ways to. Work but
then you get the full write. Off you can be
(17:30):
inevolved as you. Want you can give the keys to the,
mom you. CAN i, mean we have some people that
have donated cars that still stay in contact with some
of these moms and have watched them progress just by
the car that they were.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Gifted so they not only got the, car they created
another friendship and on the support SYSTEM.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I called you're part of the wheels from the hard.
Family it's going to try to stay in.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Touch, yeah, well, YEAH i, Mean and of, course if
you donate a, car you're. Invested you're invested in this
person that you're. Helping and that's a good thing because
people need more. People we need to be more invested
in each other and our success helping other people.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Succeed AND i don't think people realize because the majority
of us have either had a car or the right
to use a car as soon as we were, sixteen
and we don't understand, That, oh how could somebody not
have a? Car, Well i'm telling you it's a, pandemic
and it. Is it is you would be.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Surprised was one of four girls growing, UP i did
not have a. Car we were allowed to borrow my
stepmother's car if she was not using. It we had
to pay for the insurance and we had to pay
for the. Gas like so we paid for everything for
the use of the. Car but it was only if
it was. Available so let me tell you a lot
of TIMES i wanted to could do some. Things you
just like already air. Plants, sorry, Right and even if
(18:42):
you tried to plan, ahead WELL i might need. It
so it was just really. Challenging and, then like years,
ago had a frank come visit just for. Vacation she
lives In, WASHINGTON. Dc public transportation all over the, place
so easy to get, around not worrying about having a.
Car i'm, like do you want to go rent a?
Car do you want to borrow my car for the
day While i'm at? Work oh, no, No i'll take
the bus because there's a bus stop like, literally you,
(19:04):
know forty steps from my. Place she goes to the,
BUS i get out of, WORK i go AND i
get a Call.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
She's, like can you come pick me up at?
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Publics And i'm, like why are you a. Public she's,
Like i've been on the bus for an hour and a.
HALF i decided to get.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
OFF i got five. Miles she, yes it took.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Her she'd never even made it to the.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Beach some of our some of our girls who will
tell the story to you, know. Everybody oh the. Bus
they give them a bus. Pass you, know that's. Great
they spend two and a half hours each way to
get to. Work that's five hours a day times five
is twenty five. Hours that's more than half of your work.
Week that is wasted, time not with the, kids not
being better for, yourself, eating doing, exercise even, time LIKE i,
(19:41):
said being with the.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Kids well, yeah and you're gonna have to pay for that,
daycare Bright. Elizabeth well while you're on the, bus you're
paying for somebody to take care of your, kids while
you're spending five hours on a, bus.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Right which isn't a pleasant. Experience sorry for the bus,
system but it's not that.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
PLEASANT i, mean we have, one but it definitely needs
room for improvement, always, Right SO i.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Know i'm very.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Excited you have an event coming up THAT i have
been blessed to have been a part of since the
very first one and have seen it.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Grow do you want to talk a little bit about that?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Event a little or a. Lot let's talk a lot about.
That so this is going to be our Fourth cars
And Conversation unity in The, Community simple As black And white.
Event so basically it's an event to bring the community
together of all different, authenticities, religions, backgrounds understanding. Whatever and
(20:37):
we're going to have a panel and it's going to
be made up Of Attorney Lee, cohen who is a
prominent attorney in Del, Rey Deborah tendrick who's a state,
Representative Chris redding who's A Grammy award winning he does
some music with. Autism he has autistic. Son he's on the,
Board Mark, nudelberg who has been a. COACH i Know
(20:58):
i'm missing somebody and it's going TO i apologe. Us
but we'll have this panel and we have a moderator
and we'll ask some really tough, questions not just simple
layup like how do we end what's going? On like
how can we come together and understand what it's like
to walk in another man's or woman's? Shoes and then
along that is the called. Action so with everything you
should HAVE i feel as a called, Action, well what's
(21:18):
our called. Action wheels from The heart will present a
milestone for WHAT i think is our two hundredth. Car
we will donate to a single mom and her. Kids
and along with that we have three to four one
two videos and three moms in attendance that we'll talk
a little bit about the path of when they got a.
Car we have one girl that got a car when she's,
eighteen probably in twenty, fifteen. Sixteen she's now, married has two,
(21:42):
children full time, job just she just needed a little.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Help she's thriving, well and that's part of. It like
WHEN i went to, COLLEGE i did my internship In,
PITTSBURGH i did have a. Car the family THAT i
was renting their attic from that was the ROOM i was,
renting like all slope, room the whole. Thing they were just,
like if you need a, ride let us. Know but
here's the here's a bus pass and the bus will
(22:06):
take you, anywhere but you have to like time it out.
Right but you, know if you missed the, bus then
you're waiting like an hour for another bus kind of.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Thing.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Whatever but living life without a, car it's very.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Challenging it's it's freedom a car is instant. Freedom women
gets the keys to a, car it's instant. Freedom and
to your, point remember this. One not everybody is a
bus stop for their. House so some of these women
have to walk two miles and then they'll tell, you,
OH i have to go to public three times a.
Week and my silliness in the beginning, was, oh you
don't have the. Money, NO i can't carry the groceries
(22:41):
and my three. Kids so they got to take three four.
Trips so things we just you, know and so and
then the other part of that is some of these
women have. Jobs to get off at eight at, night
they're walking in the dark by, themselves you, know and
it's just it's it's very it's it's very frustrating that that's.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Kind of have a security fee as. Well, so, yeah
if you parking your car and can have the car
and going right, in that's one. Thing but having to
walk quite away from a bus stop you get to
a place at, Night, yeah that just can be.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Scary, WELL i think it's, wonderful especially with unity in the,
community having past recipients be. There it's this grassroots charity
that you've created is really remarkable because oftentimes when we
donate to an organization that is more, specific that isn't
(23:30):
something like a research for. Disease it's something that is
very individual, focused providing something for one recipient or, another
whether it be a scholarship or The keys To. Freedom
you don't usually get to find out about what happened
with that gift that we. Gave where here we actually
(23:50):
will be able to see the people and they'll be on,
hand and you can see the recipients and how their
lives have.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Developed and that's really. Remarkable, OH i think that's. Fantastic
so this is Happening, Thursday august, fourteenth, correct and it's
going to be six pm At Crazy Aunkle mike's, right.
Yep and that's oh that's in Bok okay for people
who may not, know.
Speaker 3 (24:09):

number of names.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Involved in sports in fact at this.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Event it's just it's so, amazing AND i stepped. Back
i'm very. Humbled BUT i also realized that As i've
walked through my, Journey i've plant seeds and other people's
lives and not necessarily asking for anything in return or
vice versa or. Whatever and Now i'm able to ask
these people to come and, help and they believe in the.
Cause AND i Have Ricky, Williams Miami Dolphin Heisman trophy winner.

she's doing the same, thing raising single the kids by.
(25:25):
Herself she's, struggling not just financially or even. Whatever it's a.
Lot so forget that she's in a place where she

and they're all coming because they believe and they, understand you. Know,
butch WHEN i started approaching, him he has his. Causes
he THEN i, said, coach what about the? Kids you
recruit because you're, right most of the KIDS i recruit
are single. Moms and and and THEN i talked to
any coach out, there any coach or anybody that volunteers after.
(26:50):
School all the beautiful things we do were thankful for.
YOU i want to shout out to, You BUT i
also enter to raise your hand to tell me how
many of you kids fall through the? Cracks to pick them?
Up you got to take them, home not that you have,
to you want, to but they have no. Way they
can't get. There SO i hear endless TIMES i can't
get my you, know kids can't get the. Practice you
can't get, here and this and. That so you, know
(27:12):
how many people are we missing that could elevate into
greatness because just they can't get to where they have
to get gad to get.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
There, yeah like you, said how Many Lebron james is
are we? Missing?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Right or to care for cancer? Whatever whatever we're missing?
There maybe someone fell through the crack because we as
a community didn't come around to lift them, up to
give them that just a hand, up not a. Handout you, Know.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
So people go to the website single women that single
moms that need help. Yep once they get there is
there an?
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Application they, yeah they can fill out applications wheels from
The heart dot. Org and AS i, SAID i, APOLOGIZE
i just never we're getting them. Overloaded AND i also
have my phone number on the. Website you're more than
happy to call. Me i'll talk to you or guide
you through ideas IF i can't help, you which it
breaks my. Heart for every CAR i, give there's THIRTY i,
can't BUT i will walk, you maybe do a GoFundMe
(28:05):
Or and you, know that's the one beautiful thing about single.
Moms very. Humble they don't like to, ask they don't,
want you, know they're very timid and try a lot
of times to ask for. Help AND i kind of
try to bring them out of that and, say, hey you,
know in our faith we're supposed to. Ask and if
you don't, ask how do you? Know And i've actually
had people put On facebook In North dakota, wherever HEY
(28:25):
i need a, car and somebody, go, OH i got
this whole car sitting in the, driveway and then you
run it through the organization to get the tax right,
Up we do the paperwork and everybody.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Wins oh, Yeah so my only thing has always Been
if you don't, ask you don't get right because nobody's
going to know you need it unless you put that
out in the. Universe you need, help how are people
going to?
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Know and we all need. Help it's not a sign of,
anything but we need. Help we're.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
All ACTUALLY i think it's more of a sign of
strength being able to ask for, help, absolutely because having
gone through a lot of, ILLNESSES i never. Asked and
then the most recent ONE i. Asked so many people stepped.
Up they were so correct AND i really appreciated. That
and my one friend was, Like, wow you have a massive,
network and she was in awe of how many people
(29:09):
there were that would.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Help and that'll ill applaud you because of WHAT i
call that is relationship. Capital you've earned that through the
people that you've touched and loved on and been with
and help along the. Way and that's what we're supposed to, do,
Right and so when we need each, other we can
call on each other because we're not just taking life
from each. Other we're helping each other and not effing
something in.
Speaker 2 (29:28):

a lot of respect and appreciation for the work that
it takes for single mothers to be able to. Do
AND i know, personally there's no WAY i would have

been able to do these years without a reliable. Vehicle
there's just no way THAT i could have accomplished everything
for my kids without.

your eyes and think about what you do From monday To.
