refurbished vehicle. Arturia Godfrey is a single mother raising her 10-year-old son who has autism. Help providing reliable transportation is important to not only get to work but also to ensure her son attends physical therapy. And when Godfrey has time, visit her family in Lexington, Kentucky.
Godfrey, along with her son DJ, were presented a 2018 Nissan Altima with the hopes of helping navigate life a little easier. The vehicle was donated by GEICO and refurbished by Glaser’s Collision Centers. Additional services were provided by Kaiser Tires including new tires and a year of oil changes; Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Gipe Auto Color and many individuals made donations to help car expenses and gifts for Christmas for both Arturia and DJ.
“I’m overwhelmed that I was selected to receive the car,” Godfrey said. “Having a reliable car considerably reduces my stress so I can focus on DJ and his needs.”
