Christy’s Story Christy is a devoted mother who has been separated from her son for over 90 days due to an unexpected transportation crisis. In December 2024, her 2013 Ford Fusion was towed to a local dealership for what should have been a routine safety recall repair. What followed was a nightmare no parent should endure. Despite federal laws requiring free repairs for safety recalls, Christy was quoted over $12,000 for the work. Unable to pay this unexpected amount and with her vehicle held at the dealership, Christy’s life quickly unraveled. Without reliable transportation, she lost her job, which led to housing instability. Most heartbreakingly, she has been unable to see her son, whose birthday is approaching on March 27th. Throughout this ordeal, Christy has shown remarkable resilience. She has filed complaints with consumer protection agencies, contacted government officials, and done everything possible to resolve this situation. However, after 90 days, she remains without her vehicle and separated from her son. How You Can Help Your support can help bridge the gap and reunite this mother with her child.
