- Single Mom in Need: Hello family, as the year draws to an end and you may be planning to purchase a new car in the winter when prices are at their best, please consider donating your old car to a single mom who is doing all she can to make ends meet. One of the biggest obstacles to upward mobility is the lack of reliable transportation to get to and from work on time, to get the kids to appointments, etc. Your donation will change my friend's life more than you could know. Call Anthony Famularo at 704-968-1645 with questions or to let me know you have a car. Thank you!"

Charlene has to work, pay for his nursing care, which is not all covered by insurance and serves as his caregiver after a long day of work. The cost for his care is not all covered by insurance and his medical care is very expensive. Please help our brother and sister in Christ by donating any amount you can. Your support would be greatly appreciated. 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
