Keys to a new life: Jimmie Hale Mission gifts cars to families in need
FAMILIES NEED TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE. WELL, THEY SAY YOU CAN鈥橳 PUT A PRICE ON FREEDOM. BUT TODAY IN BIRMINGHAM, IT CAME WITH FOUR WHEELS AND A FULL TANK OF HOPE. THIS EVENING, THE JIMMY HILL MISSION, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DRIVING HOPE MINISTRIES, GIFTED REFURBISHED CARS TO FAMILIES IN NEED. IT鈥橲 NOT JUST A CAR PULLING UP, IT鈥橲 A TURNING POINT. THREE DONATED VEHICLES NOT FOR SALE, BUT FOR PURPOSE. THIS DOESN鈥橳 HAPPEN OFTEN WHERE YOU GET A FREE CAR SIGNED OVER TO FAMILIES READY FOR A FRESH START. I鈥橫 VERY APPRECIATIVE. I鈥橫 THANKFUL TO BE RECEIVING THE VEHICLE. IT鈥橲 BEEN QUITE A WHILE. THE JIMMY HILL MISSION, PARTNERING WITH DRIVING HOPE MINISTRIES FOR WHAT THEY鈥橰E CALLING A SIGNING TITLE OVER CEREMONY. THE GOAL PUT PEOPLE BACK BEHIND THE WHEEL OF OPPORTUNITY. BEING A CHRISTIAN IS SOMETHING THAT WE鈥橰E THAT WE鈥橰E CALLED TO DO IS TO GIVE TO OTHERS. YOU KNOW, TAKE OUR GIFTS AND USE THEM FOR SOMETHING OTHER THAN OURSELVES. AND LIKE I SAID, IT鈥橲 I鈥橵E WORKED ON CARS A VERY LONG TIME, AND DOING IT FOR WORK. IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I DID BECAUSE IT WAS HOW WE HOW WE PAID OUR BILLS. BUT THIS, BROWN SAYS, IS FULFILLING. THANK YOU FOR VENDELA JACKSON. THIS IS A GIFT OF FREEDOM. SHE SAYS SHE LOOKS FORWARD TO GETTING HER KIDS TO SCHOOL ON TIME. I鈥橫 EXCITED FOR ONE. I DON鈥橳 HAVE TO USE AN UBER ANYMORE. I DON鈥橳 HAVE TO WALK ANYMORE. MY BABIES HAVE A WAY TO GET AROUND. WE鈥橰E SAFE. BOTH WOMEN SAY THIS ISN鈥橳 LUCK, IT鈥橲 ANSWERED PRAYERS. I CRIED WHEN I GOT THE NOTICE THAT I ACTUALLY GOT THE CAR. I DID, I HUGGED EVERYBODY IN THE FACILITY. GOD HAS REALLY BEEN ANSWERING PRAYERS SO FAR. NEARLY 30 VEHICLES HAVE BEEN GIFTED THROUGH THIS EFFORT. EACH ONE DONATED, RESTORED AND HANDED OFF WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED. ROGER BROWN SAYS THIS IS WHAT HIS WORK WAS MEANT TO BE. IT ADDS A LEVEL OF OF FULFILLMENT AND COMPLETENESS THAT YOU CAN鈥橳 GET ANYWHERE ELSE OTHER THAN BY DEVOTING TIME OR MONEY OR ENERGY TO SOMEBODY OTHER THAN YOURSELF. FOR SABRINA, VENDELA, AND OTHERS, THESE AREN鈥橳 JUST CARS, THEY鈥橰E LIFELINES. THANK YOU. BACK SEATS FILLED WITH POSSIBILITY. KEYS THAT UNLOCK FAR MORE THAN DOORS WITHIN. I鈥橫 VERY, VERY EXCITED. I鈥橫 TRYING NOT TO CRY, BUT I鈥橫 HAPPY. MORE HAPPY. AND I THINK THIS WILL, YOU KNOW, REALLY HELP ME PROGRESS. YEAH. THESE CARS ARE DONATED. THEY REFURBISHED, AND A REALLY BIG DEAL. JUST HELPING OUT WITH WITH DAILY LIFE. DAILY LIFE. MORE THAN JUST HELPING OUT. IT鈥�
