Experience

  1. Founder & CEO

    Wheels Of Success

    Jun 2003 — Present · Tampa Bay, FL, US

    Wheels of Success presents agency and employer-referred working families with a reliable and repaired car, which enables them to have consistent transportation to work, keep their jobs and advance in their careers, buy enough groceries at one time to feed their families instead of buying only what can be carried by hand, participate in their children’s activities, and get to and from medical appointments. Wheels of Success provides a way for working families to be independent and self-sufficient. Donated cars actually help to keep the wheels turning for working families! We try hard to not go to auction, we repair the cars whenever possible. Our \"Build-A-Car\" program is just that: donate money to buy tires, battery, windshield wipers, etc, to help build a car! We even have a Nuts and Bolts Club to join for monthly automatic donations to ensure repairs so our families have reliable transportation. We have a constantly growing list of \"Waiting for Wheels\" working families, and always need cars, running or not - we\'ll get them repaired. We also need the funds to repair the cars, no amount is too small.This is my passion. It has become a passion for our many partners, donors, and funders. There is nothing like seeing the faces of the recipients and their families when they receive their new-to-them cars. Because sometimes the key to success is simply.a key!
