Homeless man needed new tires on vehicle– April 13, 2019


A man who is a guest at a local homeless has a vehicle for transportation to work.  The tires were in poor condition and he got a flat.  When he went for the spare it was dry rot and almost flat as well.  He was stranded without two of the tires.  Thankfully he was just down the road from the shelter and limped home of the near flat spare.  Change for a Dollar assisted him with the purchase of two new tires so he could get back on the road and resume his job.
