Winter Car Repairs are Coming
Can you help us keep families on the road this winter with the gift of car repairs?
Lucy,* was down on her luck with a windshield crack estimated at $339 that deemed her vehicle undrivable. Because she had just started her year with Partners in Housing, Lucy had no savings and was unable to pay for the replacement. This windshield replacement was a large setback as Lucy had just started attending Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) courses across town and needed to care for her adult son.
With support from Partners in Housing’s Flat Tire Fund, all costs were covered to repair her car, allowing Lucy to continue nursing school and care for her family.
Flat Tire Fund helps partners with car trouble
The kind of support Lucy received is made possible through the monumental support of neighbors like you making contributions. The Flat Tire Fund was developed for families in need of emergency or preventative care for their vehicles, along with families who are in need of bus passes, taxi vouchers, and other means of transportation.
Winter seems to bring on the need for more car repairs and often that’s just one too many bills for our partners to take on.
Funds for the Flat Tire Fund have been depleted in 2024! Your help is needed to bring the fund back into action – the goal is to raise $3,500 to cover partner car repairs and transportation costs this winter.
If you can help reach this goal, please donate here online or mail your contribution to Partners in Housing, 455 Gold Pass Heights, Colorado Springs, CO 80906 and note “Flat Tire Fund” in the memo of your check.
Neighbors helping neighbors is a core belief here at Partners in Housing and you make that belief a reality – thank you!
Taking winter in stride,
Mary Stegner
Executive Director
