Doug Miley is one of my customers. When Doug read the story in the White Salmon Enterprise about a single mom who's car was stolen, Doug went into action. He was determined to help the woman find a car.
Tony contacted me to see what I could do. I just happen to come across a few cars every day. I sometimes buy cars from customers who want to upgrade, then I fix them up and use them as loaner cars. So when you drop your car off for fixing, I can give you a loaner car to drive!
Anyways, Doug inquired and I wanted to help. So, I ended up fixing up one of my Subarus and donating it to Kim, the woman who's car was stolen. I'm so glad that I could help someone else in this community as this community has really helped me!
Here's a letter from Doug, who initiated the project!
Thanks to all who helped out with this little fund raiser. It's nice to see the community come together even in these hard times. Big thanks to the Suby Man for donating the work and the bulk of the car costs. We would not have been able to do this with his help! We were able to get Kim in an older but dependable Subaru. We didn't quite get all the costs covered but in all worked out! There were even some anonymous donations, I don't know who you are but THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Kim wanted me to pass on to everyone that she is really appreciative for all the help and she was actually pleasantly suprised that we were able to get this done especially with the economy, people not knowing the circumstances, person,etc.
