$160,000 raised by Georgia auto shop to help a struggling single mom

A small auto shop in Georgia that is doing pretty well for itself has shown how much kindness can change the life of a person.

What started as a simple car repair turned into a powerful act of generosity for a single mother that was struggling with what most single mothers struggle with.

The woman brought her car into the auto shop and the reason she chose to come there was because she was told by another auto repair shop that she needed expensive repairs. What she was looking for was a second opinion because the cost was more than she could handle. While she was talking with the staff, she opened up about her situation as a single mother and the financial hardships she was facing on a daily. Instead of just checking her car, the staff decided they wanted to do something more for the woman. They saw someone who needed help and they decided to step up with an act of kindness.

With the help of community members and supporters, the shop was able to raise more than $160,000 for the woman. This was really some life changing support. When she finally got the news of what they had done for her, she saw it as an answer to prayer. For someone who had been carrying so many struggles on her own, $160K is definitely going to take burdens off.

This story only shows what happens and what is possible when people come together to help someone in need. A local business listened to a customer, cared about her story and decided to act and brought about unprecedented support.

This level of generosity will not only help her with her car but will also help her solve so many challenges like utilities and upkeep of herself and the child.

The shop was able to raise that money, but it was through community fundraising, so it was not just the shop but the community felt for the woman and supported. They heard the news because the shop took the initiative to share the women's story and sometimes people's struggles need to be heard so those that can help would help out of compassion.
