Getting rid of your car? Do you have knowledge of cars?
We have a parishioner who needs to replace or repair her car, which is much needed for work and taking her child to school and daycare.
If you know of any senior (or anyone else) who is planning to get rid of a reliable car for cheap, please let Rev’d Grace know.
Or, if you know of anyone who has knowledge/skills that could help evaluate and provide advice about cars, please also reach out to Rev’d Grace and she will put you in touch with the person in need. Thank you!
